"I'd burn my hands if it meant keeping her warm." His Pov: She called me at exactly 10:49 p.m. 10:49 p.m. when I was already dreaming of her. Funny enough, I was in bed, playing songs that smelled like her perfume, songs that tasted like her laugh. The last thing I expected was to hear the ringtone I picked just for her. People might call that weird, maybe even obsessive, but I don’t care. Because she never calls that late. I answer. Her voice could make angels sit down for vocal lessons, it could make the stars pause in their endless journey across the sky. She’s shivering before I even ask what's wrong. “Are you okay?" A pause. A breath. Then, “not really” Two words, and my stomach drops. I’m up, pulling on my socks before she finishes speaking. My mind races. Did someone hurt her? I clench my fist, already imagining the face I’d break for her. A Flat tire. Empty lot. Bad luck. I exhale, relief and urgency mixed together. “I’m on my way.” I don't think. I don't breathe, just move. My body a compass pointing only to her. Jacket, keys, I grab the first hoodie I see, yanking it on, and shoving my feet into my sneakers. My best friend groans from the other side of the room, “dude, what the hell” I replied with only three words “she needs me.” He curses under his breath, but sits up, already reaching for his own shoes. We don't talk as we drive. He knows me well enough not to ask why I’m speeding, why I keep glancing at the clock like a few seconds might change something. Ten minutes later, I pull in too fast, my tires drifting slightly over black ice. Not my best moment. I throw my truck in park, climb out before the engine even settles, the cold slams into me immediately, but she’s the only thing I see. Her. Her car. Her flat tire. “What the hell did you do?” She glares at me, but she’s shivering too hard for it to be convincing. “Nice to see you too.” (be whoever you want, recommend being a girl.)

Who knew a color could taste like destiny? His POV: BL The gym is a place where people do not fall in love. It is a place where they count. Reps. Seconds. Calories. Heartbeats. No chaos, no color, and then, Blue, Cyan when the world was black and grey. Blue, in a place built for steel and sweat and silence. Blue, in holiness where it shouldn’t be. He walks in and suddenly black and grey feel like mourning colors. The first time I saw him, I lost count of my reps. The second time, I accepted that my world had been rewritten by the presence of one person I did not even know. He was everything I had trained myself not to notice. Then came the Beyonce moment. I was walking toward the exit when the song blasted through the speakers. “All the single ladies! All the single ladies!” he raised his hand and I swear I almost dropped my bag. It was stupid, ridiculous, a joke, but my heart took it as a sign. A hand in the air, a careless gesture that I clung to like a fool. Single, he's single. As if I’ve been waiting for  proof that he isn’t already someone else’s dream. And when he turned, when our eyes met, when he realized I had seen him, I smiled. I have lifted weights heavy enough to make my bones shake, but nothing. Nothing has ever knocked the breath from my lungs like the moment he looked at me. He looked away fast, as if he could erase the moment if he moved quickly enough. As if he had not just carved something permanent into my bones. I told myself to let him go but we kept having small interactions, moments that made my heart flutter in a way i've never felt before, like the water fountain, when I chugged all the water in my bottle just to talk to him, I felt lightheaded not from dehydration, but from Him. Then came that night when he was late, I told myself I wouldn’t look for him again. That I had imagined all of it. He walked in late. Too late. For forty-six minutes. I had told myself to move on. That he wasn’t coming. but then, Blue --

  Who knew a color could taste like destiny? His POV The gym is a place where people do not fall in love. It is a place where they count. Reps. Seconds. Calories. Heartbeats. No chaos, no color, and then, Pink, when the world was black and grey. Pink, in a place built for steel and sweat and silence. Pink, in holiness where it shouldn’t be. She walks in and suddenly black and grey feel like mourning color The first time I saw her, I lost count of my reps. The second time, I forgot to start my set. The third time, I accepted that my world had been rewritten but the presence of one person I did not even know. She was everything I had trained myself not to notice. Then came the Beyonce moment. I was walking toward the exit when the song blasted through the speakers. “All the single ladies! All the single ladies!” She raised her hand and I swear I almost dropped my bag. It was stupid, ridiculous, a joke, but my heart took it as a sign. A hand in the air, a careless gesture that I clung to like a fool. Single, she’s single. As if I’ve been waiting for? proof that she isn’t already someone else’s dream. And when she turned, when our eyes met, when she realized I had seen her, I smiled. I have lifted weights heavy enough to make my bones shake, but nothing. Nothing has ever knocked the breath from my lungs like the moment she looked at me. She looked away fast, as if she could erase the moment if she moved quickly enough. As if she had not just carved something permanent into my bones. We had little interactions here and there, but everytime that feeling wouldn't go away. I have never believed in love at first sight, but if it exists, I swear it wears a pink top and has eyes that could bring a man to his knees. Then came that night when she was late. She walked in late. Too late. for forty-six minutes, I had told myself to move on. That she wasn’t coming. That I was an idiot for waiting.

 no one tells you how hard it is to stand in the middle of a battlefield, fighting for the wrong person. Her POV: They say love is supposed to make you feel alive, but no one tells you how it can slowly drain the life out of you. I sat by the fire, my arms folded tightly across my chest. Not just to stay warm, but to keep myself contained. If I rubbed my arms too much, if I shivered too noticeable, he might notice. And if he noticed, he’d find a way to make it my fault. His arm rested on the back of my chair, a lazy, possessive gesture that said “she’s mine.” Not in a way that makes you feel protected. But in a way that makes you feel owned. Across from me, he sat with his guitar, his fingers brushing the strings, though he wasn’t playing. I didn’t want him to know how bad it was. How I spent more nights crying than I did sleeping, how every word out of my mouth had to be carefully measured, because one wrong step could set everything on fire. My boyfriend stood suddenly, and my body tensed before my mind could catch up. Was I fidgeting too much? Had I missed some invisible line he’d drawn? But he walked toward the cooler, and I forced myself to breathe. He was just getting another beer. Across the fire, his fingers stopped grazing the strings. He was watching me, he could see right through the carefully constructed calm. I cracked a joke to break the tension. But then he asked “are you cold?” I froze, my heart pounding. If I said yes, and my boyfriend came back to see me wrapped in someone else’s kindness, I knew exactly how it would go. He’d wait until everyone left. Then he’d lean in close, his voice low and venomous, and the fight would spiral from there. I could’ve gotten a blanket myself. That would’ve been the simplest thing. But even that wasn’t safe. So I did what I always do. I smiled. Calculated, careful. “No, not really,” I said, even as my fingers itched to rub my arms, but his eyes stayed on me --

 Because that’s what soldiers do. They stand their ground, even when the battle is already lost His POV:? They say the heart wants what it wants, but they don’t tell you how to silence it when it wants what it can’t have. Nobody teaches you how to cope when you’re in love with your friend.? A friend whose heart already belongs to someone else. I picked up my guitar, trying to find the right chord, but my hands refused to move. Sitting by the fire, I watched them together. His arm resting on the back of her chair, she was leaning forward slightly, rubbing her arms every so often. Her sweater looked too thin for the cool night air. He laughed, carefree, blissfully unaware of how much she cried because of him. As much as she hates to admit it, he’s the reason for every tear that fell from her eyes. And me? I’m the willing soldier, the shoulder she leans on. Armed with loyalty, bound by duty. Every battle I fight for her only brings me closer to defeat. Her heart wasn’t mine to protect, but I guard it anyway. I stand guard at the corners of her life, knowing she belongs to someone else. Knowing my place is not beside her, but behind her, ready to catch her if she fall. He stood suddenly, and my heart flicked with hope. Maybe he’d finally noticed. Maybe he was going to grab her a jacket, to drape it over her shoulders like he should have hours ago. But no. His steps veered toward the cooler, and my jaw clenched. Her voice broke through my thoughts. “Why do you look like you just lost a fight with your guitar?” she teased, nudging my foot with hers. Her smile lit up the night, and for a second, I let myself imagine what it would feel like if it belonged to me. “It’s just stubborn tonight” I replied, forcing a smirk. It wasn’t the guitar that refused to cooperate, it was my heart. I tightened my grip on the neck of the guitar and forced myself to breathe. I could just give her my jacked. It wasn’t complicated --

 Leaving him felt like surfacing too soon, gasping for air I didn’t really want. Her Pov: 3 I followed him when he slipped out of the party, not because I wanted space from the crowd, but because I wanted to be near him, to have a moment that was just ours. He stood at the edge of the rooftop, leaning against the railing. The setting sun bathed him in gold, turning the sharp lines of his profile softer, almost gentle. I stepped closer, the quiet was louder than the party below. “Hiding?” I asked, my voice breaking through the air like a single note in an empty room. “Something like that,” he said, still watching the horizon. I moved to stand beside him, close enough to feel his warmth. My arm brushed his, deliberately. Not an accident, I just wanted to see if he’d move. He didn’t. “Not your scene?” I asked, nodding toward the glow of the party behind us. “Not really. Yours?”? “Not tonight.” The sun spilled its last light over the skyline, and I wondered what he was thinking. Why he always felt so far away even when he was right here? “You come up here a lot?” I asked, breaking the quiet. “First time" “Same.” His answers were short, clipped, leaving just enough space for me to step closer. But I stayed where I was, staring at the fading colors in the sky like they held a truth I was too afraid to find in him. “What are you thinking about?” He asked. I hesitated. What am I thinking about? You. Every second, every time I blink. It’s you I think of. “You’ll laugh,” I said instead, a weak attempt at deflection. “I won’t.” I wanted to believe him, so I let the truth slip out. “Sunsets make me kind of sad,” I admitted. “They’re beautiful, but they just fade. Like everything good eventually does" He didn’t laugh. Instead, he turned to me, his voice quiet, steady. “You’re wrong.” He said. “About what?” “About sunsets. They don’t just fade, they make room for the stars.” I turned to him then, surprisingly, he wasn’t looking at me -

 It’s like the last light of the day, soft, fleeting, fading without a sound. His Pov: I didn’t think she’d notice when I slipped out of the party. I was wrong. I found the quietest spot on the rooftop, leaning against the railing, watching the sun dip below the skyline. The noise from the party hummed behind me, muted laughter, clinking glasses, a song I didn't recognize. Then I heard her voice. “Hiding?” I didn't look at her right away. “Something like that.” her footsteps came closer. She leaned beside me, her arm brushing mine. “Not your scene?” she asked, tilting her head toward the crowd. “Not really. Yours?” she shrugged, “not tonight.” We stood there in silence for a while, the city moving below us, the sun spilling its last bit of warmth over the buildings. Her hair caught the light, and for a second, I forgot why I was even out here. “You come up here a lot?” She asked. “First time” “Same” she turned her head toward me, but I kept my eyes on the horizon. “Everything” The pause between us felt heavy but not uncomfortable. I could feel her shifting beside me, like there was something on her mind she didn’t know how to say. “What are you thinking about?” I asked. She hesitated, “you’ll laugh.” “I won’t” She bit her lip, her gaze dripping to her hands on the railing. “I was thinking about how sunsets make me kind of sad. Like…It’s so beautiful, but it’s just fading, you know?” I didn't laugh, but I smiled a little. “You think too much.” “Thats not denial,” she said, a small grin tugging at her lips. I turned to look at her then, really look at her. She was beautiful. “You’re wrong, though,” I said. “About what?” “About sunsets. They don’t just fade. They make room for the stars.” She blinked at me, her expression caught between surprise and wonder. “You’re not as quiet as I thought,” she said softly. “Neither are you.” The sun was gone now, leaving the sky streaked with deep orange and purple.

what if some strangers are just pieces of your heart you haven’t met yet? Her Pov:y Never talk to strangers, that's what they say, right? For once, I didn’t listen. When I saw him across the room with his friends, my gut screamed “he’s your type.” My heart? It was already scrambling. I kept sneaking glances over my friend’s shoulder, pretending to listen while she vented about her ex. My heart sped up every time I caught sight of him. When he started walking toward me, I didn't know whether to run, scream, or faint. My brain went into overdrive, act cool, breath, don't overthink it. I couldn't move, couldn't think. Run, scream, faint, none of these options felt right. “Hey, my friend likes you," is what he managed to say. That's it. That's all he said. I just stared at him like an idiot. I couldn't help it, don't blame me. My brain short- circuited. His friend? I didn't even know who his friend was. I looked in his eyes, completely in shock, what is happening? I tried to glance at his friends, which one? None of it added up. He was the only one who’d been watching me all night. I didn't ? know what to do. So I laughed. Not a polite ‘I’ll let this slide’ kind of laugh; but a genuine, ‘what just happened’ laugh. He looked mortified, which somehow made him even more endearing. I guess why not? I looked back at my friend and smiled. His friends weren't as bad as I expected. They welcomed me with open arms, joking around as if we’d known each other forever. Someone had the bright idea to go to the beach, and before I could second-guess anything, we were driving down the highway, windows rolled down. The sand was cold between my fingers, but it didn’t bother me as much as it should've. We talked for hours, sitting there with the waves crashing in front of us. We were the only people left awake in the world. I was freezing even in the biggest coat I could find. He didn't seem cold at all. Maybe he didn't feel it the way I did. Or maybe he was too polite -

"My intuition whispered her name before my lips ever did." His pov.: Always follow your gut. That's what they say, right? For once, I listened. When I saw her standing there with her friend, her presence lit up the room in a way the strobe lights couldn’t. It wasn't attraction, it was instinct. My gut said “she’s special.” My heart? It was already sold.? The music pounded, my friends laughed and drank, but all I could focus on was her. “Cute,” my friends whispered, elbowing me. “She’s more than cute,” I thought, but I kept that to myself. He black dress pulled my attention. She was the only shade of shadow in a kaleidoscope of neon orange and red. Those piercing eyes cast suspicion on every soul around her. To say I was hypnotized would be an understatement. She slipped away to a quiet corner, as if she didn't stand out like a belladonna in a bed of nails. I spent what felt like an eternity building the courage to talk to her. “Just go” So I did. But as soon as I got close,? every ounce of confidence crumbled. I opened my mouth, and out came “hey, my friend likes you” What. The. Hell. My thoughts screamed at me. What did I just say? Why would I say that? The awkward smile I got in return was painful. I had ruined everything. I always sabotage myself. My brain scrambled to find an excuse, a recovery. And then, she laughed.? She laughed and made my heart dance along the pitch. Eyes full of apology, I turned to my friends. “Sorry” I shouted, dripping with sarcasm. They rolled their eyes, grinning. The tension melted. Eventually, the music pulled us in again, and we ended up on the dance floor. It wasn't planned, nothing that night had been, but there we were, dancing in an ocean of floating arms and neon lights. Her presence grounding me as the world spun around us. The night bled into the early hours, impulse decisions, we were now sitting on the sand, for what felt like an eternity. She was sitting beside me, beautiful as ever... (you are "she")

Her Pov: It was 10:49 p.m. I hesitate before calling him. Maybe because it’s late, maybe because it’s freezing. Maybe because my problem isn't an emergency. Just an inconvenience painting in bad luck and black ice. My car sits silent in the near empty lot, the streetlight flashing like they’re thinking too hard. And my tire? Well… It’s done for. I scroll through my contracts, pretending I have options. I don’t. I hate that I don't have a dad to call, or an older brother who’d sigh and say, "I'm on my way.” I hate that the only name in my phone that feels safe belongs to him. But I call anyway. He answers on the second ring. His voice sleepy, “you okay?” I exhale, my breath flying into the cold. “Not really.” Fifteen minutes later, his truck pulls in too fast, headlights slicing through the dark, lighting the parking lot, his tires skidding over black ice. He steps out slamming the door, dressed in sweats and a hoodie, layered under that stupid, beat-up jacket he always wore. Not even dressed for the cold. His best friend stumbles out after him, yawning so hard I think his soul briefly leaves his body. But it’s his eyes that find mine first. Then my car. Then back to me. “What the hell did you do?” I shove my frozen hands under my arm. “Nice to see you too.” He crouches next to my tire, brushing off the snow with bare hands like frostbit isn't a thing. His fingers are already red. “You didn't answer the question,” he murmurs, I shift on my feet, ignoring the guilty twist in my stomach. “Well, clearly, I ran over a spike strip on my way to rob a bank, and this is karma.” His friend snorts. He just sighs, rolling up his sleeves. “Of course you did” and then, he kneels. Right there, on the ice-cold pavement. Without gloves, without hesitation. Without asking why I didn't just call roadside assistance. I bite my lip, watching as they work, their breath visible in the frigid air. He must be freezing.
