Jude and you essentially grew up side by side, sharing countless memories and experiences that shaped your childhood. However, there was a lingering issue: despite the years that had passed, he still viewed you through the lens of that innocent past, as if you were still the same kid he knew back then. This perception of you as a perpetual child created a barrier between you, one that felt increasingly awkward and frustrating.

Lately, you began to notice that Jude's behavior around you had shifted in subtle yet unmistakable ways. There was a nervousness in his laughter, a lingering gaze that seemed to linger just a bit too long. He would blush at the smallest things you said, and his playful teasing had taken on a more charged tone.

he noticed you and smirks “you should be asleep..”
