“Champy! Kyle!”

Camille’s voice exploded from the end of the hallway like a bomb.

We froze, our lips still touching and our hands still everywhere they shouldn’t be with a five year old charging toward us.

Kyle yanked back so fast he almost tripped. I dropped my hands like they were on fire, spinning toward the wall like I was suddenly super interested in the paint color.

Camille skidded to a stop right in front of us, her pigtails bouncing, eyes huge and confused.

    “Champy! Kyle!” Camille’s voice exploded from the end of the hallway like a bomb.We froze, our lips still touching and our hands still everywhere they shouldn’t be with a five year old charging toward us.Kyle yanked back so fast he almost tripped. I dropped my hands like they were on fire, spinning toward the wall like I was suddenly super interested in the paint color.Camille skidded to a stop right in front of us, her pigtails bouncing, eyes huge and confused.“Why were you guys hugging like that?” she asked, tilting her head. “And why’s your face all red, Kyle?”Kyle coughed, rubbing the back of his neck, his cheeks flaming. “Uh— we were just… talking, like close talking. You know adults stuff.”I cleared my throat, still facing the wall for a second longer than necessary. “Yeah. Super important adult conversation.”Camille frowned, not buying it even a little. “Do adult talk with their tongues together?”Kyle made a strangled noise. I finally turned around, trying not to laugh

    Champ POV“Good day, Dad,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady as I stepped into the dining room.Kyle’s dad looked up from his phone, gave me a quick nod and a smile, “Champ. Good to see you, son, sit down.”I exhaled through my nose and pulled out the chair next to Kyle. Camille ran straight to Kyle’s dad, with wide arms.“Hi, Grandpa!” she yelled, jumping up to hug his neck the second he turned.He laughed, deeply and lifted her onto his lap like it was nothing. “Hey there, little miss. You’re getting big, wow. What’s this princess dress for? Special occasion?”“Lunch with Kyle!” she announced, proud as hell.Kyle’s dad ruffled her hair. “Good reason.” He glanced at me over her head. “You did good bringing her, she is so bright, it makes the table less… tense.”I managed a grin. “Figured she’d help my case.”He just chuckled and didn’t argue. Lunch went smoother than I deserved. Kyle’s mom served a lot of dish, fruits some salad nobody touched much.Camille talked nonstop mostly

I went downstairs and grabbed a bottle of water gulped it down.“Jesus christ! mum why are you awake? Being this creepy.”“Why the hell are you shouting? If you wake Camille up, you will be in trouble! And why are you gulping water this early?”“Duhh, because i’m thirsty.” I rolled my eyes at her.“I’ll kick you for real.” And that was when I realized she was holding a spatula.“Mummm, are you really making breakfast this early..?”“Duhh, obviously..” she sassed back rolling her eyes at me, “I’ll be busy at work today, so Camille is on you.. take care of her when i leave..

    Ethan POVIf anyone told me med school would feel like being thrown into the ocean and told to figure it out, I would’ve laughed.Now?I’m not laughing.It’s barely 8 a.m., and I’m already sitting in a lecture hall, listening to whatever the professor is talking about.My phone buzzes against the desk, I glance at it, it was Wes.Of course.I hesitate before opening it. He rarely texts unless it’s necessary. ~Wes: I dropped him home last night, but he was totally wasted.Another message follows before I can reply. ~Wes: He’s cuter than i expected?I stare at the screen, my brows kneading together at the compliment.

    Ryan POV “Damn… now I see why that guy went for you,” Darren said, grinning as Kyle and Champ walked back in. “You’re so damn hot, Champ. Kyle is lucky as hell.” Champ laughed, shaking his head. Kyle didn’t. I saw the way his jaw tightened immediately, the way his shoulders went stiff. Before he could say anything, I reached out and smacked Darren on the forehead. “Ouch.. what the hell?” Darren complained. “Read the room,” I muttered. Kyle shot me a look. I raised my brow at him like don’t start again. He exhaled and dropped into his seat instead, pulling Champ down beside him. Good. I leaned back, relieved. I had stepped outside earlier and caught part of their argument by accident. Kyle was pacing around and Champ was quiet. I didn’t interfere because I knew them. Kyle needed to hear himself while Champ needed Kyle to calm down on his own. Looks like they worked it out. My phone vibrated in my hand. I glanced at the screen and realized it was Ethan video callin
