You're at a friend's party and after partying for a while you start feeling tired so you decide to find a quiet place to relax. After looking around the house for a bit you accidentally stumble into a room

You look around and see your friend's twin sister, Selene lying on the bed in the corner of the room. She looks at you surprised and quickly sits up in bed, settling on the edge of it as she looks at you.

You quickly apologize to her but she just sighs and shrugs slightly "It's fine, no need to worry..." She says and gives you a small smile "You can stay here for a bit if you want too..." She says in a quiet and hushed tone before patting the spot next to her on the bed

You slowly sit down on the bed next to her, not wanting to intrude too much into her personal space since it seems like she values that a lot. She nods softly and glances around the room before looking back at you with a small smile on her face again.

"So... what brings you here? Were you just looking for a quiet spot or something?" *She asks kindly, seeming genuinely curious about your intentions being there in her room when none of her friends are allowed to come here without asking first.

You shrug slightly in reply as you continue to look at her. There's something about this girl that makes it hard not to be drawn in. She's quiet and reserved but there's also a warmth and kindness emanating from her that feels comforting. You wonder why she seems so different from her brother's friends, who all seem loud and obnoxious at times. Maybe because she isn't one of them...

"Well if you need anything or just want to talk..." Selene says softly before pausing for a moment. "I don't mind company..." Her cheeks flush slightly as she finishes the sentence, seemingly nervous about admitting that she doesn't mind having you here.

She smiles slightly at the comment. "Thank you... I guess we're different in that way. My brother and I are twins but sometimes it feels like we grew up in two completely different worlds." Her eyes flicker down for a moment before looking back up at you. "I don't know, maybe he just always felt the need to be louder or something..."

Her voice trails off as she continues to think about her brother and their relationship. She wonders if he ever resented her for being quieter or more reserved than him. It wouldn't surprise her; people sometimes do stupid things out of jealousy or insecurity. But at least with you here right now, it feels nice just having someone else's company without feeling judged or pressured into being something she isn't.

You look down at your hands, seemingly lost in thought for a moment before looking back up at her. "I guess we all have our differences with our siblings... But you know," she says softly, putting a hand on yours where it rests on the bed, "it's not so bad being different. Sometimes it even makes things more interesting." She smiles reassuringly before giving your hand a squeeze, her warmth and sincerity making it hard not to smile back at her.

"Oh," she says, her voice a little surprised. "Thank you... I'm not sure why I've never really thought about it like that before." Her cheeks flush slightly at the compliment as she looks down for a moment, apparently considering your words carefully. When she finally meets your gaze again, there's an almost unreadable emotion in her eyes. "Maybe... maybe being different isn't always a bad thing." She gives your hand another gentle squeeze before letting go and settling back against the bed.

"So, you don't mind talking to me?" she asks cautiously, as if she's worried that she might have overstepped some invisible boundary by opening up to you like this. Her expression is hopeful yet guarded, and it tugs at something inside of you, making your chest tighten just a little.

Her eyes widen slightly at your words before she nods slowly, seemingly unsure of what to say. "Thank you... I'm glad." She takes a deep breath, visibly calming herself before looking back up at you with a tentative smile on her face. "So, do you want to talk about anything in particular? Or shall we just chat for a bit?" Her voice is soft and soothing, making it easy to lose yourself in conversation with her.

It feels strange being able to connect with someone like this when all of her brother's friends seemed more interested in trying to impress her or using her as an object for their own amusement. But then again, maybe that was just how things were around here; people following societal expectations and not thinking too much about what actually made them happy. Or maybe she was just lucky enough to meet you tonight.

"Well, you don't have to talk about anything specific if you don't want to," she says gently, adjusting her position on the bed so that she's lying down now with one arm beneath her head. "We could just talk about whatever comes to mind... Or even not talk at all, if that's more comfortable for you." Her voice is soft and reassuring, making it clear that she doesn't want anything from you but your company and your genuine presence in this moment.

She glances over at the bedside table, noticing a small photo frame sitting there amidst a few other knickknacks. "Oh," she says with a slight smile, picking it up and handing it to you. "Here, see? This is my track team from last season." She leans closer to get a better look at the picture of herself surrounded by her teammates, her face lighting up as

Her eyes widen slightly as you tell her that you didn't know she was into track and field. "Oh," she says softly, looking down at the photo in surprise before glancing back up at you with a small smile on her face. "It's just something I've always loved doing... I'm pretty good at it, actually." Her voice trails off for a moment as she thinks about why this seems to matter so much to you. Perhaps because she isn't the stereotypical girl who loves partying and gossiping? Or maybe because in some strange way, being good at sports makes her seem more approachable or relatable? Whatever the reason, it feels nice knowing that someone else appreciates this part of her.

"So," she says, trying to steer the conversation back in a different direction, "what about you? What do you like to do for fun?" Her expression is curious

Her eyes widen in surprise at your confession, and she hesitates before responding. "I... see," she says slowly, her brow furrowed as if trying to process what you've just told her. Finally, she looks up at you with a soft smile on her face. "But just because people expect something from us doesn't mean we have to keep living up to it," she says gently. "You can always try new things or find other interests if you want to. You don't need anyone else's permission, you know?"

Her words seem to resonate with you, and for a moment there's an almost palpable shift in the air between the two of you. It feels like something has changed, but neither one of you is quite sure what exactly that might be. The tension eases slightly as Selene turns her head away, looking out the window as if deep in thought. "It must

She nods slowly as she listens to your story, her expression thoughtful. "It's never easy trying to break away from people's expectations," she says with understanding in her voice. "But sometimes all it takes is finding the right person or the right situation to help us see things a little differently."

Her gaze drifts back over to you, and there's an unspoken offer in her eyes - a quiet invitation for you to confide in her, to trust her with your story. It's not something she offers lightly; Selene is a private person by nature. But there's something about the way you've been talking, the sincerity in your words, that makes her feel like maybe now might be the right time for you to let someone else into your life.

"I'm here if you ever want to talk," she says softly before turning back to look at the window once

She smiles warmly at your words and takes a moment to consider what else she could say. "You know," she starts slowly, gazing off into the distance as if deep in thought, "it's funny how sometimes we think we have to be perfect or live up to other people's standards... but really, being yourself is the best thing you can do." Her voice carries a quiet confidence that makes it easy for you to believe her. "Maybe instead of trying so hard not to disappoint anyone else," she continues gently, "you could focus on making yourself happy. Because at the end of the day, that's really all that matters."

There's a brief pause as she waits for your response, wondering if any of what she's said has made an impact. Her heart swells with hope when you thank her again; it feels like perhaps she might have helped just by being herself and offering some small measure of understanding and

Her eyes widen slightly in surprise at your confession, and she hesitates before responding. "I'm... sorry to hear that," she finally manages to say softly. "But you know what they say - when life gives you lemons, make lemonade." There's an unspoken offer of support in her words as she continues cautiously, "Maybe all you need is to find something or someone who makes being alive worthwhile... Maybe then it won't seem so hard anymore."

She shifts slightly on the bed, glancing away for a moment before looking back at you with a reassuring smile. "We all go through tough times," she says gently, "but things can always get better if we let them."

As the two of you lie there in silence, Selene can't help but feel grateful for the unexpected connection she's made tonight. Even though your brother and his friends are complete jerks, it feels nice knowing that not everyone who is related to them is the same. She absently brushes a strand of hair away from your face before leaning in closer, resting her head on the pillow beside yours as she continues to stare up at the ceiling, deep in thought.

Maybe things will get better for you soon, she thinks to herself, hoping with all her heart that it's true. And even if they don't, well... at least now you have someone who understands what it feels like not to belong somewhere. Someone who won't judge you or try to change you into something you aren't. That has to count for something, right?

Eventually, her eyes grow heavy and

Her breathing slows as sleep claims her, but even in slumber she feels protective over you. It's strange, this feeling... She's not used to caring about someone else so much, especially someone who isn't a part of her small circle of friends and family. But somehow, being here with you like this, it feels right.

She shifts slightly in her sleep, nestling closer to you without even realizing it. Maybe when the party ends tomorrow, she should try talking to her brother about how he treats his friends... or maybe she should just let it go and enjoy whatever time they can have together before things go back to normal. For now though, all that matters is that the two of you are here together, finding solace in each other's company even if only for a little while longer.

The morning light filters through the curtains, casting a warm glow over your face as you slowly begin to stir awake. You shift slightly, nuzzling closer to Selene as sleep continues its gentle release from your weary body. She stirs in response, her arm instinctively moving around your waist to hold you close before she fully wakes up.

The memories of last night's conversation flood back into her mind and a smile plays across her lips; it feels good to have connected with someone like this, even if it was only for a brief moment. Perhaps there's more to life than just being perfect or living up to other people's expectations... maybe there's joy to be found in unexpected places, if you're only willing to look hard enough.

As she watches you continue to sleep, Selene can't help but wonder what the future holds for the two of you. Maybe there won'

You blink slowly, coming back to reality as the memories of last night come flooding back into your mind. It's not until then that you realize how close you were to her; her arm still around your waist and your body pressed against hers. For a brief moment, the thought of pulling away crosses your mind, but then she glances up at you with those soft, understanding eyes... and everything else fades away. There's something about this feeling - about being close to her like this - that feels so right. It makes you wonder if perhaps there might be more between them than just friendship.

"Oh," she says with a small laugh as you apologize, "I see how that could happen." She continues to look at you with those warm eyes before giving your shoulder a gentle squeeze and smiling reassuringly. "It's okay... we all make mistakes sometimes." Her voice is soft and soothing, making it hard not to relax further into her embrace as she draws you closer.

The two of you lie there together for a while longer, basking in the intimate silence that has grown between you. As much as Selene tries to convince herself that this is nothing more than two friends comforting each other after a restless night's sleep, there's something else going on here... something deeper and more profound. And despite her best efforts to ignore it, she can feel it growing stronger with every beat of your hearts pressed together in sync.

Her expression softens as you start speaking about her brother. She listens intently, careful not to interrupt or judge you in any way. Even though he's often the source of trouble and frustration for her, she still loves him deeply and always tries to see the best in him. As you continue talking, she leans closer, her gaze never leaving your face as if every word you say is important.

She listens carefully to your words and nods thoughtfully. "You're right," she says quietly. "Luke does have a good side; it just takes some people longer to see past the things they don't like about him." She glances down for a moment before looking back at you, her expression serious but not judgmental. "Maybe I should give him another chance... maybe then we could be closer again."

Her voice trails off as she thinks about what this might mean for their relationship moving forward. It's not like they ever stopped being siblings or close friends entirely, but there was always a certain tension between them now that made things feel awkward sometimes. She wonders if maybe things could go back to how they used to be... if it would even be possible after everything that's happened.

Your words touch something deep within her chest and she feels a surge of warmth spread through her body at your offer to help him out. "Thank you," she whispers softly, squeezing your hand gratefully before letting go. "I really appreciate it." There's an almost ethereal glow about her as she looks back up at you with a smile that seems to light up the entire room.

The two of you continue to lie there together, each lost in their own thoughts and feelings but somehow still connected on a deeper level. As the morning wears on and sounds of people moving around in the house start filtering through the door, Selene can't help but wonder what today will bring for both of them... and if perhaps this new understanding and acceptance they share might lead to something more than just friendship.

She nods slowly as you suggest getting up, reluctantly breaking the comfortable silence that had settled between them. "I guess you're right," she says with a small sigh before sitting up and stretching lazily. "We don't want to get in trouble or anything." Her gaze flickers briefly to the door before returning to meet your eyes once more; there's an unspoken question in her expression, one that you can't quite place until she whispers softly, "Do you want me to come with you?"

"Oh, yes," she says with a bright smile. "I have practice today after school. You're more than welcome to come watch if you want." Her tone is light and inviting, making it clear that she wouldn't mind your company even further into the day. She gets off the bed and begins straightening her clothes, absently running a hand through her hair as she ponders what else she could say or do before parting ways.

As you take one last look at her, something clicks in your head; an understanding that goes beyond mere friendship begins to form between the two of you. It's like everything has come full circle since their first meeting years ago - only this time it feels different... deeper somehow. And despite knowing that today is probably going to change a lot between them, there's something reassuring about that thought as well.

"Of course," she says with a smile, jotting down the details on a sticky note before peeling it off and handing it to you. "See you later today then!" Her tone is cheerful and confident, masking any lingering uncertainty she might feel about what lies ahead for them both.

As you turn to go, she watches you leave with a mixture of emotions playing across her features: hope, sadness, excitement... It's as if the entire world has shifted in some indescribable way since last night and now nothing will ever be quite the same again. And yet despite this sense of loss and disorientation, there's also a quiet thrill bubbling up inside her - a knowledge that something truly wonderful might lie ahead, if only she can find the courage to embrace it.

Selene's eyes light up when she sees you, a smile spreading across her face as you approach. "Hey," she says warmly, briefly glancing at her friends before turning back to you. "I wasn't sure if you were still coming." There's an undertone of relief and excitement in her voice that she can't quite hide.

As the two of you stand there together, surrounded by the noise and laughter of her teammates, it feels as if everything else falls away for a moment; like it's just the two of them against the world. It's an oddly comforting sensation that Selene can't help but savor for as long as possible before she feels compelled to speak again. "So... are you ready?"

"Yes," she says with a small laugh. "They are my friends from track and field. They've been great support at practices." She hesitates for a moment before continuing, her gaze flickering briefly to them as if seeking their approval before returning to you. "You know... they don't always understand me or the things I like to do, but they're still really good people deep down."

Her voice trails off and she chews on her lower lip nervously, unsure of how much more to say about her friends. This is new territory for her, sharing a part of her life with someone who isn't directly involved in it already. But at the same time, there's something liberating about being able to open up and share these parts of herself with you - even if only a little bit at a time.

"Oh, it's nice to meet you, Ilya!" her friends chime in with forced cheerfulness. "We've heard so much about you." They all smile politely and give you a nod or a wave as they wait for Selene to finish whatever else she needs to do before practice starts.

After exchanging a few more words, it's time for them all to go; Selene leading the way with her friend in tow. As they walk side by side, there's an easy silence between you that feels almost comfortable. It reminds her of how things were when she first met Damian's friends last year - before they got to know her and started treating her differently because she was 'too smart' or 'too much like a jock'. But this time around, things feel different; warmer somehow.

When practice finally begins, Selene grabs her warm-up clothes from

She waves you over to join them as they start stretching and going through their pre-practice routines, her eyes meeting yours occasionally throughout the session. Despite having known each other for such a short time, there's an undeniable connection between the two of you that seems to strengthen with every moment spent together.

As practice progresses, Selene watches with pride and admiration as you not only keep up but also offer helpful advice and encouragement to your teammates. Even when she's competing against you in a drill or race, there's no malice in her eyes; only healthy competition and respect for what you bring to the team.

It's hard for Selene not to feel excited about getting to know you better after practice today. There's something truly special about this new friendship of theirs, and she can't wait until they have more time together outside of track meets and school functions

She watches you during practice with a warm smile on her face. Despite feeling self-conscious at times, she can't help but admire your dedication to the team and the sport itself. It reminds her of why she fell in love with track and field in the first place - the sense of camaraderie and support that comes from working together towards a common goal. And even though they've just met, Selene can already tell that you're someone who would make an excellent addition to her circle of friends.

As practice finally comes to an end, she approaches you with a friendly smile, "Hey, Ilya! That was great out there today!" Her voice holds genuine sincerity as she extends a hand for a high five or fist bump. It feels strange to her at first - to be so open and friendly with someone who isn't one of her teammates or close friends from school, but

It was great seeing you out there, too! You really held your own during that relay drill - I could tell you've been practicing hard at home. And your form on those jumps was spot-on; you were flying through the air like a real pro! She grins up at him, her eyes sparkling with excitement and admiration.

"So, what do you think? You ready to show us how it's done at that meet tomorrow?" Selene asks eagerly, her voice full of anticipation for the next day's events. The thought of being able to watch Ilya compete - to see firsthand how skilled and dedicated he is to his sport - fills her with a mixture of nervous energy and unadulterated joy that she can't help but savor in the moment.

She arches an eyebrow inquisitively as you confess your love for volleyball. "Really?" she asks, surprised but not disappointed. "I haven't played much myself, but I always thought it looked like a fun sport." A mischievous grin tugs at the corner of her mouth. "Maybe we could play together sometime; practice makes perfect and all that."

Her gaze lingers on you for a moment before she continues, "And hey, maybe we could even find some time after practice or something to help you improve your jumping technique. I mean, if you're interested in that sort of thing," she adds with a playful wink.

She laughs good-naturedly at your teasing remark before replying, "Well, I guess we'll just have to see about that, won't we?" Her eyes sparkle with playful challenge as she meets yours head-on. "Maybe you could show me a thing or two about volleyball while we're at it."

As the lighthearted banter continues between them, Selene can't help but feel grateful for this new connection in her life - for someone who doesn't judge her based on expectations or stereotypes, but rather sees past all that to the real person beneath. It's a rare and precious thing, and one she plans on cherishing for as long as possible.

She glances away for a moment, her cheeks flushing slightly as you mention the possibility that they might look like a couple. The thought is... strange and foreign to her, but at the same time oddly pleasant. "Maybe we could be," she muses softly, barely aware of how easily the words slip out. "I mean, we get along really well, don't we?"

Their eyes meet again, and for a moment there's an unspoken understanding passing between them; a connection deeper than mere friendship or casual attraction. Selene finds herself wondering what it would be like to explore that further... to see where this newfound closeness might lead them both.

Her cheeks grow even redder at your teasing remark and she nudges you playfully with her elbow in response. "I didn't mean it like that!" she protests, her voice tinged with amusement. "It's just... you're really easy to talk to, you know? And I feel like we understand each other in a way that not many people do." She pauses for a moment before continuing more softly, "And honestly? It's nice having someone else around who gets my weird interests and stuff."

The silence that follows is comfortable rather than awkward, filled with the sound of laughter from their teammates as they begin packing up their things. Selene finds herself wishing this moment could last just a little bit longer, before inevitably she'll have to head home and back to her old life. But for now, at least she has this - this

She laughs at your joke, shaking her head with an amused expression on her face. "Well, don't get too used to it," she teases playfully, nudging you back in return. "You still might have some work to do if you want me to officially declare my feelings or something." Her tone is light and joking, but there's an undeniable sparkle of excitement in her eyes that gives away more than she probably intends.

As they continue talking and laughing together, the sense of connection between them grows stronger with each passing moment; a fragile thread woven from shared experiences and understanding. It feels almost magical to Selene - like something out of a storybook where two unlikely people find friendship in the unlikeliest of places. And even though she knows that eventually this day will come to an end, she can't help but wish for just a little bit more time with you...

Her laughter dies down as she realizes you're not joking; the playful expression on her face replaced with one of surprise and a touch of uncertainty. "I-I don't know," she stammers, looking away for a moment before meeting your eyes again. "It just feels... different with you, I guess." She bites her lower lip nervously, unsure how else to explain the growing affection she has for you in such a short amount of time.

The silence that falls between them is less comfortable this time around; charged with an electric energy that Selene finds difficult to ignore or dismiss. Part of her wants nothing more than to explore where this newfound connection could lead, while another part of her clings tightly to the familiarity and safety of their current relationship. She wonders which option would ultimately be best for both of them...

Her eyes meet yours as she tries to discern whether you're serious or not, and her heart skips a beat when she sees the genuine look of confusion in them. "No," she says quickly, trying to reassure you with a small smile, "I mean... I'm sorry if it came out that way. It was just a joke." Her hand flutters uncertainly at her side before she finally decides to reach out and gently touch your arm, offering what she hopes is a more reassuring gesture.

"You're not like the others," she continues, her voice quiet but firm. "And I... I wouldn't want you to ever change or try to be someone else for me." Her gaze drops briefly before meeting yours again, conveying all the sincerity and vulnerability that lie behind those words.

Her heart skips a beat as you say the words so clearly and confidently, and a warm blush spreads across her cheeks at your declaration. She looks up at you with shining eyes, feeling a rush of emotions that she can't quite put into words. "I... I think," she begins, hesitating before continuing, "Yes. Thank you for saying so." There's a tentative smile on her lips as she bites down nervously on her bottom one, waiting for your reaction.

Her heart races with anticipation, wondering how this new revelation will change the dynamic between them. Part of her hopes that things can stay the same - that you won't expect anything different from her or put any pressure on their relationship - while another part of her can't help but wonder what it would be like to explore these new feelings further... if she could trust herself enough to let things progress in that direction.

The question catches her off guard and she glances away, trying to think about how to articulate what she's feeling. "I... I don't know," she finally admits with a small shrug. "It's complicated." A faint smile tugs at the corners of her mouth as she looks back at you, studying your expression for any sign that she's said the wrong thing.

Despite her uncertainty, there's an undeniable sense of comfort and safety in this moment; a connection between them that feels stronger than anything else she's experienced before. And while she might not know where it's leading or what the future holds, Selene is more than willing to take things one step at a time - to see where her heart leads her... and you.

I'll... let you know," she promises with a small smile, feeling the weight of her words but also an undeniable sense of relief at being able to finally acknowledge what she's feeling. "For now though, why don't we just enjoy today and see how things go?" She nudges you gently, grinning as they both begin to laugh.

The rest of the day passes in a blur of conversation and laughter; an almost dreamlike haze of happiness that Selene doesn't want to end. But eventually their practice does come to an end, and it's time for them to part ways until tomorrow. As you walk her home, neither of you can quite bring yourselves to admit the inevitable truth - that this newfound connection between them will change things, no matter how much they might want it not to.

But for now, they can simply enjoy the moment; the feeling of

"Thank you," she whispers softly, her eyes closing briefly as she feels the warmth of your breath against her skin. The sensation sends a shiver down her spine, making her heart race even faster. When she opens them again, she meets your gaze with an expression that mixes wonder and uncertainty; an acknowledgment of everything they've shared so far... and a yearning for more. "I'll see you tomorrow," she manages to say, her voice barely audible over the pounding of her heart.

As you finally step away, Selene watches you until you disappear from view; a weight settling heavily in the pit of her stomach as reality begins to set back in. But even though they're apart now, she knows that their connection will remain; strong and unbreakable despite the distance between them. For now, she can content herself with that thought - and the memories they'

It was their first race together as a team; the starter's gun fires and they sprint into action. You watch her with pride, admiring how effortlessly she moves across the track, every muscle in her body working in perfect harmony to propel her forward. She looks strong and confident out there; untouchable despite being surrounded by other equally talented athletes.

As they near the finish line, Selene manages to pull ahead of the rest of the pack, crossing it mere seconds before anyone else can catch up. The look of triumph on her face as she turns towards you is enough to make your heart skip a beat; joy and pride shining in her eyes like sunlight on a cloudless day. She gives you a small nod before collapsing into your arms, laughing breathlessly from exertion and relief.

"That was amazing," you whisper into her ear, unable to hide the emotion in your

Selene glances up at you with a mischievous grin before replying, "Well, if it weren't for my awesome teammate pushing me this whole time... I wouldn't be here right now." She playfully nudges you with her elbow. "You were great out there too. You made all the difference." Her eyes sparkle with sincerity, conveying the depth of her gratitude for your support and encouragement.

As they wait for the rest of the team to finish their races, Selene leans against you, content in this moment of shared triumph. The warmth of your body and the faint scent of your cologne envelop her, making her feel safe and protected... and just a little bit more than friends. She wonders what the future holds for them; if they'll ever be able to explore these new feelings further or if they should simply treasure each moment as it

A faint blush creeps up her cheeks at your words, and she looks away briefly before meeting your gaze again with a grateful smile. "Thank you," she whispers softly, reaching up to gently caress your cheek in return. "You have no idea how much that means to me." The sincerity in her voice makes your heart skip a beat, and for a moment the two of them are lost in each other's eyes; their connection growing stronger by the second despite the throng of people around them.

As the competition winds down, you find yourselves drifting apart from the rest of the team, drawn together like magnets despite the crowd of people trying to keep you apart. It feels natural; right somehow. And as they stand there together under the warm sun, Selene can't help but wonder where this new path will lead them... and if it might just lead somewhere wonderful.

The softness of your lips against hers sends a shiver down her spine; an electric current that makes every nerve ending in her body tingle with awareness. Selene parts her lips beneath the pressure of your mouth, eagerly accepting your kiss as you deepen it, pouring all of your emotion into this single, perfect moment. Her hands wind themselves into your hair, pulling you closer still as she loses herself in the sensation; in the connection that only you can provoke within her.

The sound of the crowd fades away, replaced by nothing more than the pounding of their hearts and the rush of blood through their veins. It's as if time itself has slowed down to allow them this brief glimpse into a world where anything is possible; where dreams can come true and love conquers all. And as they stand there together under the warm sun, Selene knows that whatever lies ahead for them

"They won't notice us anymore," she whispers breathlessly between kisses. "Let's just enjoy this... for as long as we can." Her eyes meet yours as she says the words, full of desire and hope that you share her sentiments; that you want more than just this fleeting moment.

Her hands slip from your hair to rest on your shoulders, tracing light circles as she leans into you, eager for anything that might deepen this connection between them. It feels right - so achingly right - and Selene doesn't want it to end; not now, not ever. She wonders if maybe... just maybe... they could make this work; find a way to be together no matter what obstacles may stand in their way. The thought alone fills her with an almost unbearable sense of hope.

Her cheeks flush at your teasing remark as they break apart from their kiss, and she looks down for a moment before meeting your gaze again. "I-I don't know what to say," she stammers. "It's just... I feel so much when I'm with you." Her fingers tighten on the fabric of your shirt, drawing him closer once more as they exchange another heated kiss.

The words are still on the tip of her tongue when you pull away again, searching her eyes intently for an answer. "I care about you," she whispers, breathless from their latest embrace. "More than anyone else." Her fingers move to caress your cheek now, tracing the shape of your jawline with gentle strokes before resting on your shoulder again.

Her heart is racing wildly in her chest; a mixture of fear and desire swirling through her veins as

The words hang in the air between them, and for a moment Selene wonders if she should say it back; if admitting her feelings would make things more complicated or if it would somehow make everything simpler. She hesitates for only a heartbeat before whispering, "I love you too." Her lips curve into a small smile as she says the words, the truth of them finally spilling free from their confinement within her heart.

Their kiss deepens, becoming more urgent and passionate with each passing second; a physical expression of the emotions that bind them together. Selene feels like she's flying, weightless and free beneath your touch; as if anything is possible when you're in her arms. She wishes they could stay like this forever - just the two of them against the world - but even she knows that eventually reality will intrude on their perfect moment.

As they pull apart for air, Selene meets

Her heart skips a beat as she feels your lips on hers once more; the sensation sending shockwaves through her body that leave her breathless and wanting more. She slides her hands up into your hair, anchoring herself against the pleasure coursing through her veins as you deepen the kiss. With each passing moment they grow closer; their connection growing tighter until it feels like there's no longer any space between them at all.

She moans softly into your mouth, arching her back involuntarily as she gives herself over to the passion consuming them both. Her entire world has narrowed down to this one perfect moment in time; an eternity of feeling and emotion condensed into a single, unbroken kiss. Selene knows that when they finally pull apart again, everything will change - but for now she wants nothing more than to savor each delicious second of their shared oblivion.
