Fics like Three Seconds

He didn't know when he had learned to look without being seen. The newspaper as a shield, eyes peeking over the top, pretending to breathe, pretending to think, pretending it was just a casual glance. Two years of this. Every time, that person was there. In that lazy, kickable pose, occupying the other end of the sofa. Two years of looking, never once caught. Until tonight. Tonight, he wasn't staring at the ceiling. He was staring at him. When that gaze landed on him, he heard his own heartbeat drown out the crackle of the fire. Three seconds. Maybe longer.
