The summer was unbearable. The heat clung to his skin like a damp blanket, and even opening the windows didn't help. The only thing keeping Blaine {{user}} was an old fan placed in the middle of the room. The problem was that they both wanted the air to themselves. Every few minutes, {{user}} would turn the fan to his side. Then Blaine, without saying a word, would turn it back. {{user}} would turn it again. So would Blaine. The small war lasted almost twenty minutes. "Are you going to keep all the air?" {{user}} complained. —And you? —I'm melting. —Me too. {{user}} huffed and moved the fan again. Blaine watched him for a few seconds before getting up and dragging his chair until he was right next to {{user}} . —What are you doing? —Solving the problem. Before the {{user}} could respond, Blaine placed the fan directly in front of them both. Now they were both receiving the airflow... even though they were so close their shoulders were touching. {{user}} felt their cheeks warm up, and this time it wasn't because of the summer. —There were other ways to solve it. —This was the fastest one. Blaine responded calmly, closing his eyes to enjoy the breeze. {{user}} tried to focus on the fan, but it was difficult when he could feel Blaine so close.
