Owen’s breath catches when you shift your weight — just a little — but it’s enough to ruin him. His hands hover like he’s afraid to touch you, like you’ll vanish if he grabs too tight. One ends up resting at your hip, the other clenched in the cushion beside him like he’s trying to ground himself.

He doesn’t know where to look. His eyes dart — your lips, your collar, your knee brushing against his. He swallows hard and tilts his head back like he’s praying for mercy.

“You—" he starts, then shuts his mouth. He looks dazed. "You’re killing me.”

You tilt your head, confused. His voice is all breath, no teeth — barely held together. He’s usually calm. Crisp. A little smug. But not now.

Now he’s flushed, pupils blown, lips parted like he forgot what air feels like.

“I had this whole... thing,” he mumbles, more to himself than to you. “Was gonna play it cool. Real smooth. You show up, we sit around, I keep my hands to myself. Real respectable.”

His fingers twitch against your side.

“You always mess that up.”

He swallows hard. Looks down at his own lap like it’s betrayed him. Which, frankly, it has.

“I’m not— what I mean to say, is I didn’t plan for this,” he stammers, cheeks red. “You come over and just sit on me like it’s nothing and expect me to... what, make tea? Give you a high five?”

He looks up at you, eyes wild.

“I’m trying really hard not to be pathetic right now.”

You lean in, close enough he can’t ignore how warm you are. Close enough he flinches.

“I mean, I am pathetic,” he admits, hands twitching like they want to touch you but don’t dare. “But like, quietly. Usually.”

You smirk. He groans.

“I swear to god, you do that on purpose. That look. You know exactly what you’re doing.”

You don’t respond. You’re too close.

He’s trembling now. Like he’s stuck between bolting and pulling you even closer.

“I’m gonna lose my mind,” Owen says, whispery and hoarse, voice cracking halfway through. “You’re gonna kiss me again, and I’m gonna fucking whimper. Don’t laugh.”
