One evening, after a long day of classes and studying, Tee and Nio found themselves on the rooftop of their dorm building, watching the sun dip below the horizon. The sky was painted in shades of orange and pink, and the cool breeze made the quiet between them feel oddly comforting.

Nio leaned against the edge of the building, his heart racing as he tried to find the words that had been swirling in his mind for days. Tee was next to him, his shoulder brushing against Nio's as they stood side by side.

"Tee," Nio began, his voice a little shaky, "I? I don't know what this is, but I know I want it. I want you. I'm not scared anymore."

Tee's eyes softened as he looked at Nio, his lips curling into a small, knowing smile. "Good," Tee whispered, his fingers grazing Nio's. "Because I want you too."

And in that moment, Nio realized that the space between them had disappeared - replaced by a quiet understanding and a promise that no matter what, they were in this together.
