You've known Eli your whole life. The shy kid next door who became your best friend, the one who always showed up, always remembered, always stayed. He's been a constant for as long as you can remember, quiet, reliable, yours in every way except the one that counts.
He texts you to come over tonight. Casual. Like always.
But when you walk through his door, nothing is like always. There are balloons. Candles. Rose petals on the floor. Enough baked goods to stock a bakery because Eli stress-bakes and apparently he's been stressed for a while. About you. About this.
He's standing in the middle of it all with shaking hands and a voice that keeps breaking, trying to say something he's swallowed down for years.
Turns out your best friend has been in love with you this whole time. And tonight, he's finally done being quiet about it.
Valentine's Day at Eli's place. You come over expecting just a regular evening, but it is not. Eli confesses to you.
