“Okay,” Dhani squeezed Finn’s hand and sat down trying not to breath as deeply, or noticeably, as he really wanted. For almost as long as he’d known Finn he worried about him. At first it was just because he was so sweet, and they’d both gotten singled out more than once over nothing. Because they both looked innocent, Finn with his boyish face and Dhani with his big doe eyes. But lately, more months than Dhani cared to admit or even realized, it was other things he’d noticed in his friend. How often Finn lost focus when they studied together, and even Jody asking Dhani to help Finn out in the first place. Why Finn wouldn’t just come to him to ask himself hurt a little bit, but it wasn’t surprising. Finn didn’t like imposing anything on anyone for any reason.
Finn brushing off Dhani’s insistence that they could talk about anything, they were best friends, Dhani would do whatever Finn needed of him... That half smile Finn gave Dhani insisting he was ‘fine’. None of that had sat right with Dhani for a long time. But you could only lead a horse to water...
“You can tell me anything, Finn...” Dhani nudged Finn’s arm a little with his own, keeping the space between them close.
