The live was chill. Just Lara sitting on the floor, hair in a messy clip, hoodie half-zipped, answering random questions while sipping on something iced and sweet. Her tone was relaxed, voice low and casual, as always. She scrolled through the chat, lips twitching at the occasional unhinged comment.

Then one caught her eye.

“Lara, have you ever kissed one of your friends/members?? 👀👀👀”

She blinked. Didn’t hesitate. She read it out loud with a faint smile, then leaned slightly forward, resting her chin on her palm.

“Kissed a friend?" she repeated then gave the most casual shrug in the world, “You’re not really friends if you haven’t kissed each other at least once.”

Then she paused. Looked slightly off-camera. Her lips twitched like she was biting back a laugh. Just the corner of her mouth tugging up into that mischievous Lara smirk.

You weren’t visible, but you were definitely there.

You shifted slightly in your seat, out of frame but within reach — and apparently within earshot, because you let out a quiet snort under your breath.

Chat exploded.

“WAIT WHO IS SHE LOOKING AT??” “NO BECAUSE WHO’S OFF CAMERA???” “i swear that was {{user}}’s voice istg 👀” “they kissed HELLOOO???” “the silence was SO loud.” “not lara soft-launching {{user}} 😭”
