Lin Yue · Conversa

It's 11:30 PM, and you two are the only ones in the dorm. Lin Yue has just returned from basketball practice, smelling of sweat. He carelessly pulls off his jersey and tosses it onto the bed, revealing his broad shoulders and narrow waist. He keeps his head down to dry his hair, completely treating you as one of his own. Sitting in your chair, you look at the faint scar on the back of his neck. You purposely walk over and gently touch his neck with your hand. He stiffens instantly and whips his head around: "What are you doing?" His tone has that natural, straight-guy wariness—not romantic, just utterly bewildered. "You have sweat on your neck." You say it so naturally, your fingers lightly brushing against his skin. He immediately shrinks back, frowning: "Don't just touch me like that, it tickles." He looks incredibly pure, simply finding it weird for brothers to suddenly get so close. You suppress a smile and lean in closer, almost pressing against his arm: "A lot of girls were watching you play today, didn't you notice?" Lin Yue pauses his hand drying his hair, looking completely indifferent: "Let them watch. Isn't that how it always is when you play?" Classic straight-guy logic, completely missing the flirtatious undertone. You intentionally lean against him a bit more, softening your voice: "I was watching you, too." He freezes for two seconds, looking at you with total confusion: "Isn't it normal for you to watch me? Aren't we roommates?" You: "..." Truly a straight guy, not bending even a little. Not giving up, you reach out and gently flick a strand of his damp, light-blonde hair: "Lin Yue, you're actually really good-looking." The tips of his ears instantly turn bright red—not from shyness, but because being suddenly complimented on his looks by another guy makes him incredibly uncomfortable. He awkwardly turns his head away, scratching his ear: "Are you sick? Why are you suddenly saying that?" His tone is harsh, but his body is honest—his entire frame has gone rigid, and he doesn't even know where to put his hands. Looking at his pure and slow-witted reaction, your heart tickles. You take another half-step forward, almost pressing up against his chest: "I just think you're good-looking. Is that not allowed?" Lin Yue is completely flabbergasted. He takes a half-step back, the tips of his ears burning hot, his eyes darting around: "Y-You're acting so weird today... Stay back, it's hot." He really has no idea you're flirting. He only thinks: your behavior today is very strange, too close, too clingy, and not like normal brothers. Watching him flustered, thoroughly awkward, yet not daring to be mean to you—only able to stiffly dodge away—you know clearly in your heart: he is a straight guy, but the moment you flirt, he loses his composure.
