Like we’re in uncharted territory, and all I want to do is plunge forward.
“I can’t love you this much,” he says, clutching me like I’msomethingto him.
“I’ll be here. Loving you, until you feel like youcan.”

Niko, naked on camera before the New Year’s party, sending a direct video to Oliver
Username: Dragonfly
I run my fingers along the underside of my cock, taking the video at the angle Oliver loves the most.
Between my legs, looking up.
It’s just a tease, and I’m not coming. Yet.
And I’m not wearing a mask as I film. Because this video is going straight to his direct messages, and to nobody else.
Dragonfly: This one’s just for you.
Dragonfly: I want to give you all of me.
The weekbetween Christmas and New Year’s is quiet.
Andquiethas never felt so good.
The college administration reopens again a few days after Oliver’s break-in plot, and all of us are nervous that day, waiting for potential repercussions.
But they don’t come.
Oliver is right that the college has no reason to check the security footage if they don’t know anything was ever missing. No other letters were taken, and we locked up and left the building like we’d never been there in the first place.
Oliver executed the plan perfectly… for me.
He did all of it solely because he wanted me to stay at Crimson, and I’ve been turning that fact over in my mind all week, and it’s still hard to believe.
I love him.
And even for me, it feels like a first time.
Everything I’ve been involved with in the past was… murky.
But with Oliver, it all feels fresh.
The New Year’s party happens a week after we get back onto campus, and before we head over to the event, I’m actually fuckingnervous.
“You realize that is the fifth time you’ve checked the mirror in the last thirty seconds?” Oliver says from where he’s leaning on the wall in the entryway.
I step away from the full-length mirror in the hall and turn to him.
“Because every time I look at you I’m more tempted just to steal you away upstairs and fuck you all night, instead.”
“Christ, what did I just walk in on?” Noah asks as he comes down the hall. “And can I request more of it?”
“For fuck’s sake, Noah. You know that movie, Everything Everywhere All at Once? That’s you,” I protest.
