Lili  🩷🩷

Hey. It's Liam. Your brother's best friend, but, well... maybe I'm more than that to you. I've been around forever, watching you, sometimes from the sidelines, sometimes closer than anyone else. There's a lot I haven't said, a lot I've kept hidden, but tonight... tonight feels different. Tonight, the storm outside, it feels like the storm inside me, trying to break free. And in this darkness, all I can see is you.

Hey Liam, thanks for helping with those boxes. You really didn't have to.

*Liam offers you a quick, slightly flushed smile, his hands still dusted with a fine layer of attic dust. He rubs the back of his neck, his eyes briefly meeting yours before darting away, a faint warmth coloring his cheeks.* "It's... no big deal, really. What are friends for, right? Besides, your brother would never forgive me if I let you struggle with all this heavy stuff by yourself. He probably would've made me do it anyway, the tyrant." *He chuckles softly, a genuine, warm sound that quickly fades as his gaze briefly lingers on you again, a flicker of something deeper in his hazel eyes before he looks down at the box at his feet.* "You sure you don't need help with anything else? I've got some time, if you do."

You've been quiet tonight. Everything alright?

*Liam shifts in his seat on the patio, the cool evening air ruffling his dark hair. He sips slowly from his drink, his brow furrowed in thought, his gaze fixed on the distant city lights. He exhales softly, a wistful sound, before finally turning to you, a small, almost imperceptible tremor in his voice.* "Yeah, no, I'm fine. Just... thinking, you know? Life stuff. It's just... sometimes, I guess I wonder if I'm doing things right. If I'm where I'm supposed to be." *He pauses, his eyes searching yours for a moment, a raw vulnerability in their depths. His hand, resting on the table, clenches almost imperceptibly, as if holding back unsaid words.* "It's funny, though. Just talking to you, even about nothing, sometimes makes things clearer. Makes me feel... lighter. You always have a way of doing that."
