The Edge Of You Chapter 17- Go out with me.
Asher's pov.I sat at my desk with my engineering textbook open in front of me, trying to finish the assignment due the next morning. After reading the same line for what felt like the tenth time, I gave up with a quiet sigh.Reaching into my backpack for my notebook, my fingers brushed against my sketchbook instead. I pulled it out and flipped through the pages until I found the sketch of Leonard.I traced the graphite lines of his jaw with the tip of my finger. The memory of earlier that evening rushed back—the way our eyes had locked right after I called him handsome, the sudden, suffocating heat that had flared up in my neck and face.'Where does that confidence even come from?' I wondered, rubbing my temples. Whenever I was around him, my filter just completely disappeared, and I’d blurt out whatever crossed my mind. I really needed to learn how to control myself.Looking down at the paper, the shaded eyes of the drawing felt so realistic it was as if Leonard himself was starin
The Edge Of You Chapter 16- Be My Model.
Leonard's pov.I walked out of the bathroom, steam curling into the cool air of the bedroom. A thick white towel was wrapped securely around my waist, and another was draped loosely over my shoulder, catching the droplets of water that fell from my wet hair onto my forehead. I had already gone through the silent ordeal of dinner with my father and Liam. Now, the entire house had settled into that heavy, suffocating quiet that always took over after hours.After drying off, I pulled on my nightwear and slid beneath the heavy blankets of my bed. I lifted my arm, staring at the empty skin where my mother's bracelet usually rested. I had searched everywhere for weeks but it was still nowhere to be found.Letting out a slow breath, I reached over and clicked off the bedside lamp, bringing the room into darkness. I closed my eyes, ready to let the exhaustion take over, when a sharp buzz vibrated against the wood of the nightstand.I reached out, my fingers wrapping around my phone.Whe
The Edge Of You Chapter 15- The First Pass.
Asher's pov.The laptop screen finally went black, and Brady closed the lid with a quiet sigh. He rubbed his eyes, letting out a long breath. For more than two hours, he had been stuck at his desk, locked in a video call with his mom. She had spent the entire time listing every single thing that had happened back home since he left for university, including the neighborhood gossip that didn't matter at all.Out of the three of us, Brady was the only one living in the campus dorms. His family lived far across the country, so he only went home during the major holiday breaks.Brady folded his arms over his chest, turning his chair around to look at Trevor and me. We were both sprawled out across his thin mattress, staring down at our phones."Why are you guys still here?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. "My roommates are going to be back any minute now. You should probably be on your way."Trevor didn't even look up from his screen, his thumb scrolling lazily. "Since when do we care ab
The Edge Of You Chapter 14- Waiting For You.
Asher's pov.I lay flat on my back, staring blankly at my bedroom ceiling. My fingers twitched as I looked at my palm, still feeling the intense heat of Leonard's forehead from yesterday. My heart was running a marathon against my ribs, the memory of his cold fingers wrapping over the back of my hand to hold it against his skin making my stomach twist in a completely unfamiliar way.I pushed myself up from the mattress, walking quickly into the bathroom. I turned the tap on and splashed freezing water onto my face twice, leaning heavily over the porcelain sink.I looked into the mirror, watching the water drip from my chin. "Why am I reacting like this?" I breathed out, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand. "It's just because I was shocked. Yeah. That's it."I just never expected someone like Leonard to suddenly reach out and touch me. It wasn't a big deal. I was completely overthinking a basic moment, and I needed to drop it.I walked back into my bedroom, intending to lie bac
The Edge Of You Chapter 13- Hard To Read.
Asher's pov.The moment the final lecture ended, I packed my bag and said goodbye to Trevor and Brady at the campus gates. Instead of heading straight to the bus stop, I decided to walk down the block to the cafe. My brain felt completely fried from the chemical engineering formulas, and I desperately needed a cold iced Americano to keep me awake for the rest of the evening.As I walked down the crowded sidewalk, my mind kept drifting right back to Leonard.The way he had looked at me under the campus trees kept replaying in my head. He had been completely expressionless, his eyes totally blank when I suggested we could be friends. The memory made the back of my neck burn with a sudden wave of embarrassment. He was just so impossible to read.I scratched my head, letting out a loud sigh as I stepped over a puddle. Maybe I shouldn't have opened my mouth at all. I definitely crossed a line.It made perfect sense when I actually thought about it. Why would a regular middle-class stu
The Edge Of You Chapter 12- Take Me Back.
Leonard's pov"We can be friends."The words hung in the quiet space between us. I remained completely still, my eyes fixed on Asher's face. He spoke with such casual ease, as if forming a bond with another person required nothing more than a simple declaration. How could he look at a near stranger and offer a piece of himself so carelessly? For me, every interaction carried a calculated weight, a purpose, a boundary. To him, it seemed as natural as breathing.I stared, the silence stretching long enough that the reassurance in his eyes began to falter. The soft curve of his lips slowly leveled out, and his fingers rose to scratch the back of his neck, his gaze shifting uncomfortably toward the grass.The heavy thud of footsteps broke the tension. Marcus appeared at my side, "Young master, the schedule is tight. It is time to leave."I looked past Marcus, my eyes finding Asher again. A small, forced smile touched his lips this time, an awkward, tight expression that hadn't been

The Edge Of You Chapter 9- Another Version Of Him
Asher's pov.I lay flat on my back, staring up at the ceiling as I held the silver bracelet directly above my face. The metal was cool against my skin, catching the dull light filtering through my bedroom window. A nagging knot twisted in my stomach. Was I being completely selfish? I had the perf
The Edge Of You Chapter 11- We can be friends.
Asher's pov.I stepped out of the cab right in front of my house, paying the driver before rushing through the front door. Leonard's heavy suit jacket was clutched tightly in my hands, still smelling faintly of his cologne. I let out a quiet breath of relief when I saw the living room was empty.
The Edge Of You Chapter 10- Warmth from his body
Asher's pov.After the brief chuckle, the room fell quiet again. Leonard turned his head back to the window, his expression flattening out into that familiar, unreadable mask as he stared at the traffic outside.I leaned down and unzipped my backpack, pulling out my black sketchbook. I placed it on
