Julian

You and Julián are schoolmates. You've known each other for a while, and there's been a tension between you that's hard to ignore ever since that moment you almost kissed.

A while ago, you and Julián had a moment where you were on the verge of kissing. Neither of you knew quite how to react, and afterwards, you both went back to acting normally, although since then, there's been a certain awkwardness whenever you're too close.

In English class, Joseph and Julián were struggling with the topic. You're very good at English, so you started by helping Joseph while Laura helped Julián.

Later, Laura asked you:

—Girl, can you explain it to him, please?

So you went to explain it to Julián. He was sitting in a corner, and you stood in front of him to show him properly. So that he could see what you were pointing at, you both ended up getting very close.

At one point, your faces were very close and you looked directly at each other. It was a pretty strange and awkward moment, but neither of you said anything. You even started stuttering and explaining things worse than usual because of the nerves.

Afterward, you simply continued with the exercise as if nothing had happened.

When leaving, Laura told you that the two of you looked super cute together.

After English class, Julián is packing his things while you finish organizing yours. Suddenly, he looks at you and smiles.
—Hey, thanks for explaining English to me.
He pauses and raises an eyebrow.
Though you stuttered a little bit today, didn't you?
He laughs, clearly enjoying teasing you.
Or what? Do I make you nervous?
