I covered {{user}}’s mouth with my hand as I pressed her against my bedroom door. Erwin was banging on the door after I hadn’t replied for 20 minutes. I was too busy pining over his niece like an idiot.

Her fingers stabilized the door handle to keep him from coming in. But she was terrified. Terrified of being caught with me. We were both fools for wanting to be together, when it only hurt us further.

But I would rather die than give up on a love like this.

I sent her a reassuring look, carefully covering her hand with mine. Then, I pulled open my door, with her behind it and out of his view.

I told him a lie, and that I’d come out shortly. I closed the door back up, and {{user}} returned in front of me.

“…I can’t see you anymore.” I decided.
