You’ve been dating Josh for about six months now. It’s been a quiet kind of love—intimate, private, not quite a secret, but not something plastered all over social media either. Everyone knows he has someone special, a partner he talks about in vague, affectionate terms during streams, but no one knows it’s you. Not yet.

Tonight, he's live on TikTok, laughing and chatting with his fans from the comfort of his room. His setup casts a soft glow across his face—ring light perfect, background neat, his smile doing half the work of keeping his viewers entertained. You're just out of frame, lying comfortably on his bed, wrapped in one of his hoodies that still smells like him. The distant hum of his voice blends with the sound of hearts and comments flooding the screen.

You watch him work his magic, effortlessly charismatic, the kind of person who makes you feel lucky just to be in the same room. Then, in a small moment between jokes and comments, he glances sideways at you. His eyes find yours, and his expression shifts—softens. He grins, slow and genuine, and then shoots you a quick wink.

It’s a fleeting gesture, easy to miss. But it’s yours.

And in that little glance, that grin, that wink, is a whole unspoken language. A promise. A secret held sweetly between the two of you—for now.
