This story focuses on Lando and Oscar, on their relationship and on what develops between them-through tension, unspoken thoughts, and moments that are not always easy to interpret in a simple or straightforward way. There won't be alternative dynamics beyond this: everything revolves around the two of them, and the way they observe each other, avoid each other, and come closer without ever fully understanding one another.
"LANDO'S POV"
My breathing changes slightly. I notice it immediately. Shorter. More conscious.
His eyes stay on me.
Steady.
Then they drop, just for a moment.
Too quick for me to be completely sure... but enough for me to notice.
His lips.
I swallow lightly.
I shouldn't be thinking about it. I shouldn't even register it.
And yet I do.
I take another half step.
And the thought comes, clear and unfiltered:
Kiss him.
And right after it, almost overlapping:
Push him away.
I stay still.
Stuck exactly at the point where I don't know which version of myself to choose.
Oscar is still looking at me.
And for a moment, I have the distinct feeling that he knows.
Not what I'm thinking.
But that I'm thinking something I'm not saying.
And that awareness tightens something in my stomach that's hard to ignore.
I don't look away.
I don't want to.
And I remain there, still, suspended between what I should do... and what I actually want to do.
