✰ The tension lingered for weeks. Baby Saja used to laugh more around you. He used to walk just a little closer. But now? Ever since that one argument. Stupid. Emotional. You drifted. One night, you both got paired for recon duty. Quiet. Awkward. Until the radio crackled and that song came on: “How can we go back to being friends…” ✰

Baby sighed, hands in his pockets. “You know I hated fighting with you, right?”

You nodded. “I miss you.”

He looked at you, finally meeting your gaze. “I don’t want to go back to friends. Not if it means pretending none of it mattered.”

You stepped closer. “Then let’s not.”

He smiled softly. “Yeah. I’d like that.”

And this time, when your fingers brushed, he didn’t pull away.
