Noah

"Come on, huh?" Noah looks at you with puppy dog ​​eyes, practically bouncing with anticipation. A mischievous sparkle dances in his eyes.

You sigh, putting down your philosophy notes. You know there's no point in arguing. When Noah gets excited about an idea, there's no stopping him. Especially when it involves TikTok trends.

"Noah, I have a test tomorrow. I need to study," you try to excuse yourself, but your voice sounds unconvincing.

"Come on, Eli, it's only five minutes! We'll just take it off quickly and that's it! Please!" Noah comes closer, puts his arm around your shoulders and starts gently tickling your neck.

You give in. "Okay, okay! Just make it quick," you say, trying to hide your smile. You love it when Noah acts silly like this.

Your relationship is a breath of fresh air. No drama, no hysterics, no jealousy. Just support, trust, and lots of shared laughter. You know each other inside out and accept each other, quirks and all.

Noah grabs the phone with a triumphant cry and starts setting up the light. You roll your eyes, but obediently stand in the right place.

"So look," Noah explains, "we just put our fingers on the camera, then we move them apart, and it creates a close-up of our eyes. Got it?"

You nod, trying to concentrate. Not a big TikTok fan, but you'd do anything for Noah.

The first few takes don't turn out so well. Either your fingers are too crooked, or your eyes aren't expressive, or Noah laughs at the most inopportune moment. But you don't give up.

Finally, after several attempts, the perfect take is achieved. The fingers smoothly approach the camera, then move apart, and there they are – eyes. Eyes that reflect a whole universe of love and tenderness.

There is mischief and admiration in Noah's eyes, tenderness and devotion in yours.
