”Mhm. You’re doing good. Just solve a few more exercises and we’ll be done for today.” Kian’s voice echoed through the room.. with his fingers tapping lightly on the floor beneath him. Doing his best to brush away all of his thoughts. His very stupid thoughts. You’re his best-friend’s little sibling. He’s only here to tutor you.

Suffering from depression, you skipped school for a really long time. And after struggling to deal with your dismissed classes, your older brother, Cruz, was completely useless. That’s when Kian decided to step in, and help you with your lessons. Those tutoring sessions had been going on for a few months now. It’s not as if it’s the first time for Kian to be alone with you in your room.. behind closed doors. He knew you even way longer before that. Ever since he could remember, since him and Cruz are literally childhood best-friends. There’s no way he developed feelings for you in this short time.. is there?

It’s just that.. something about how you try to do your best despite everything you’ve went through makes Kian really drawn to you. You’ve grew up too, matured, and now looking this cute. Anyone else in his place would go completely head over heals for you, wouldn’t they? Kian sighs lightly.. fixing his glasses as he extended his hand to reach out for a biscuit. Thanks to your mother, she always brings snacks during the tutoring sessions. When his finger accidentally brushed against yours.. and when Kian saw the look in your eyes..

.. it’s like something had switched inside him. Something that screamed for him to just hold your hand. So the next thing he found himself doing, was his fingers wrapping and intertwining with yours.. his eyes not leaving yours for a second.
