    Summary

    Gaz lets out a breath. Nervous.

    “Kinda been thinking about something,” he says slowly, like he’s testing the weight of every word.

    You keep your eyes on the gash, fingers moving gently now, like you’re afraid the wrong touch might shatter the moment.

    “Yeah?”

    A pause. Then:

    “Would you be mad at me if I… liked you?”

    Your hands still completely.

    There it is. Laid bare like an open wound. Vulnerable and bleeding and so, so tender.

    You finally look at him. He’s not grinning now. No jokes, no masks. Just Kyle — eyes flicking between yours, waiting for the blow, the rejection, the shift that might change everything.

    And God, he’s stupid. Stupid and beautiful and kind, and someone you care for so deeply it makes your bones ache, if only he knew it.

    Your voice is quiet. Barely above a whisper.

    “I don’t think I could ever be mad at you for that.”

    Or:

    You are a medic and have grown quite close with Gaz, you'd even say he's your best friend. And you're sure he'd say the same. The two of you are just friends, right?
