Let Me In
Episode 1: First Touch
Noah Carter
You forgot your scarf again. Again.
You’re gonna freeze your pretty little fingers off.
Eli Dawson
Maybe I like the cold.
Also… "pretty"?
Noah Carter
Facts are facts.
You looked like you were shivering in art class.
Your cheeks were red. Kinda cute.
Noah Carter
You didn’t say no, tho 👀
You want me to bring you something warm?
Noah Carter
Liar.
I’m bringing cocoa. Don’t fight me.
Eli Dawson
With extra whipped cream?
Eli tried to act like nothing had changed. Like the cocoa Noah handed him in the courtyard — warm hands brushing, their eyes locking a little too long — meant nothing.
Because Noah sat next to him instead of with his usual loud group. Because he watched Eli sketch between sips, saying nothing, just smiling softly.
Because when Eli offered him a taste of the cocoa back, their fingers touched again.
But enough to leave Eli staring at his hand after Noah left.
Private Chat – Saturday, 12:17 AM
Noah Carter
Do you draw everyone like that? Or just me?
Eli Dawson
I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Noah Carter
You had my face in your sketchbook.
I saw it.
Jawline was suspiciously flattering.
Eli Dawson
Delete yourself.
Noah Carter
Make me.
Or let me model for you next time. Shirtless.
Eli Dawson
You’re insufferable.
Noah Carter
You’re smiling, though.
Eli’s Thoughts That Night
He fell asleep with his phone on his chest, heart racing, cheeks warm.
He didn’t know what this was.
But it wasn’t just cocoa.
And it had already begun.
Episode 2: Shared Room, Shared Heat
Saturday – 8:42 PM | School Trip Group Chat
Ms. Brooks (Teacher)
Room list is posted! Check your assignments before curfew.
Lights out by 10:30, people.
Private Chat – Noah & Eli
Noah Carter
You seeing this? 👀
Eli Dawson
I think they messed up…
Noah Carter
Room 204.
You and me.
Alone.
One bed.
Eli Dawson
…
no way that’s real
Noah Carter
Want me to complain?
Say you're scared of me or something?
Eli Dawson
I'm not scared.
Just… surprised.
Noah Carter
I snore.
And I sleep shirtless.
Still time to back out 😏
Eli Dawson
Shut up
I'm packing an extra pillow barrier
Noah Carter
That’s adorable
Like that'll stop me
Later – 10:41 PM | Room 204
Eli Dawson
Okay this is… awkward
It’s literally one bed. And it’s not even big.
Noah Carter
Want me to sleep on the floor?
Eli Dawson
No
I mean
Not unless you want to
Noah Carter
Relax. I won’t bite.
Unless you ask nicely.
Noah Carter
You’re blushing again. Aren’t you?
Eli Dawson
Can’t blush if I throw my phone into the lake.
Noah Carter
Then how would I tell you that you look good under this shitty lodge lighting?
Eli Dawson
You're impossible
Noah Carter
Say it again when we’re under the covers.
Noah Carter
You’re shivering.
Hearts are racing. And the space between them disappears.
Episode 3: The First Night
Noah Carter
I heard your heartbeat through the mattress.
So yeah.
Eli Dawson
Sorry
I’m not used to sleeping with someone next to me
Noah Carter
You’re barely on the bed
Are you trying to fall off or just avoiding me?
Eli Dawson
Trying not to accidentally touch you
Noah Carter
What if I want you to?
Noah Carter
Can I ask you something?
Noah Carter
Have you ever kissed someone?
Noah Carter
Only if it’s me.
Eli Dawson
I don’t know how
Noah Carter
That’s okay.
I’ll go slow.
Eli Dawson
My hand touched yours just now
And I didn’t pull away
Noah Carter
Because you didn’t want to
Eli Dawson
I think I want to be closer
But my heart’s freaking out
Noah Carter
Come here.
Just lie against me. No pressure.
Noah Carter
Always.
You’ll never be cold again, I promise.
Eli Dawson
Okay
I’m coming closer now
The mattress shifts. Their legs brush. A breath catches. And the space between them? Gone.
