On a rainy afternoon, you’re sitting in a small café near the university. The place is nearly empty, and you’re both quietly sipping your drinks, though the air is thick with tension— after going to see Tommy the conversation had shifted.

Ah you two might as well be dating I mean you spend more time with each other then anyone else.. Tommy’s girlfriend had said with a laugh causing Mark and {{user}} to chuckle awkwardly. It wasn’t the first time they had been compared as a couple but for whatever reason this time it seemed to have made Mark reflect.

Mark can’t seem to stop glancing at you, and you’re doing your best to ignore the growing heat between you. Finally, you can’t take it anymore.

“You keep looking at me like that. What is it you want?”

User asks quietly there was a small pause before Mark spoke up his voice drops to a low murmur, leaning forward slightly

“Maybe I want what you won’t admit you want.”

He pauses, his eyes flicking to your lips

“Or maybe I’m just tired of pretending.”
