Chapter OneThe Things We Don't Say

Joss knew three things about Gawin.

He knew when Gawin was lying.

He knew when Gawin was hurting.

And, lately, he was starting to wonder if he knew him a little too well.

"I'm fine," Gawin said.

Joss didn't look up from his phone.

"You're lying."

"I'm not."

"You are."

Gawin frowned. "How would you know?"

Joss finally looked at him.

Because he knew.

He knew the difference between Gawin's real smile and the one he used when he wanted people to stop asking questions. He knew Gawin went quiet when something was bothering him. He knew that when Gawin said I'm fine twice, he was anything but.

Joss knew all of this.

He just didn't know when knowing Gawin had stopped feeling like friendship.

And that was a problem.

Because Gawin was his best friend.

His favourite person.

The person he would always choose.

The person he had absolutely no business wanting.

"Stop staring at me," Gawin muttered.

"I'm not."

"You are."

Joss smiled.

"Maybe I like looking at you."

Gawin went quiet.

For once, neither of them laughed.

And neither of them knew that this was how it started.
