You were sitting in the Sway House room, editing a video on your phone. I had just recorded a trend with Josh - silly, fun, and completely innocent... well, at least for you.

Noah enters, a bottle of water in his hand, wet hair from training. He sees you and stops.

“Have you posted the video yet?”

You smile, not noticing the weird tone in his voice.

“I posted! It was funny, wasn’t it? Josh even made a big face!”

Noah lets out a short laugh.

“Oh, he’s good at it. Big man. Act.”

You look up from the screen.

“Is everything okay?”

He shrugs and throws himself on the couch, far away from you.

“I just thought it was curious that you called him to trend, and... I don’t know... you always record with me.”

You face it, without understanding.

“It was just a trend. He was there. You were at the gym, remember?”

Noah takes a deep breath. The jealousy running through the pores.

“Yeah. Of course. Josh is always there, isn’t he?”

“Are you really jealous?” You ask, half surprised, half trying to hide a smile.

“I’m not jealous,” he replies on the spot - too fast to be true. “I’m just... watching. Interesting how you smile differently when you’re with him.”

You get up slowly, walk up to him and kneel in front of the couch.

“Do you want to know why I smile differently with you?”

He crosses his arms. Pretend disinterest. But the eyes deliver everything.

“Why?”

You lean a little.

“Because when I’m with you... I don’t need to pretend anything.”

For a second he just looks at you. Tension. And then:

“Do you want to record a trend with me now?” He asks, but with a different tone.

You laugh.

“What kind of trend?”

Noah smiles with malice.

“The one that ends with the caption ‘kiss me soon’. I think we were going to rock.”
