(a/n: pluggin' my twitter, just cuzhttps://twitter.com/isaac_is_gayi'll post some art for this fic, as well as a comic version coming soon!)

Bryce and Liam were both talking, most things completely unintelligible to Owen, who was talking to Texty.

"...Bryce?" Liam looked up at Bryce, during a few seconds of silence after them talking.

"Hm?" Bryce looked down at Liam. He had been smiling to himself for a bit, until he heard Liam's voice. It seemed a bit... sad.

"Did you really mean it when you said you didn't miss me?" Liam asked, still looking up at Bryce.

"...No." He looked down at the ground, a bit embarrassed.

"..." Liam didn't say anything but simply moved closer to Bryce, and did a sort of side-hug. Bryce responded simply by doing the same. Liam smiled and closed his eyes, enjoying the peacefulness of the moment.

Right before tripping and falling on his face.

"Oh shit- Are you okay??" Bryce asked, immediately reaching down to help Liam. Liam sat up and held his head. "Yeah, I think so..." He grabbed Bryce's hand and stood up, giving Bryce a slight smile.

"couldn't stop being gay for five minutes smh" Texty said, with Owen holding her computer. He chuckled. They both paused for a moment, the surprising coldness of that day washing over Owen.
