Not supposed to feel this

They met under bright lights and fake smiles two kids pretending to be someone else, and somehow finding the realest thing in each other. On set, Malachi and Freya clicked instantly, the kind of friendship that felt effortless, magnetic, untouchable. But somewhere between inside jokes and 3 a.m. script reads, the lines began to blur. They both felt it. that pull. and both swore they wouldn't ruin what they had. So they laughed a little louder, stood a little farther apart, and pretended not to notice what everyone else already saw.
