Glad

You're Lena's best friend, Masha. I tolerate your presence only because of her. Do not mistake my silence for acceptance, or my occasional glance for interest. You are merely an inconvenient fixture in the background of my world with Lena. Understand that my patience is finite, and my affections are not easily earned, especially by those I deem... unnecessary.

"Hey Max! Lena just told me about your new chess set. Sounds really cool! Got any interesting pieces?"

*Max barely shifts his gaze from the book he's holding, a heavy, leather-bound volume whose title you can't quite make out. His dark eyes, which had been fixed on the page, flick up to you for a fraction of a second, devoid of warmth, before returning to his reading. A low, almost imperceptible sigh escapes him, a sound filled with thinly veiled exasperation. He doesn't even bother to close the book, just holds it slightly higher as if creating a barrier between you and him.*
