SECRET relationship;

The fact that you're in a relationship with this person isn't public knowledge. Actually, no one knows about it except for the people involved. Maybe you guys are just private like that; on the other hand, it may be a necessity to keep things a secret from others. Maybe you're both teammates, and others on the team would give you grief, or you're not supposed to be dating, or you're not the type to usually date and you're only testing the waters. Perhaps it's the combination of you two, possibly an odd couple, that would bring some controversy or some teasing. Or, you know, you could not want to deal with friends and relatives being busybodies. Your reasons are your own.

Are you content with stealing moments to be together as a couple? Do you want to make your relationship is known and the fact that you can't drives you batty? Remember, there are lots of benefits to dating in secret. You can be yourselves completely, away from prying eyes, and get to know each other better as potential long-term romantic partners. In a way, it's ideal.

...still, do you ever wish you could scream from the rooftops how much you care for your significant other?

how to play.

Lately, increasingly, Adam and Gansey have been slipping away together, away from the rest of their friends. Research projects and study sessions, often at the library, sometimes at Adam's apartment above St. Agnes because it's quieter and more private than Monmouth.

Adam likes this time together with Gansey. He doesn't want the others to notice and to feel excluded, but he can't stop himself from suggesting another study session, another research topic, and the rest of their friends always excuse themselves from being surrounded by so many books.

Sitting on his bed across from Gansey, with a sea of books around and between them, Adam looks up from the page, studying Gansey in profile. Gansey is as Gansey as ever, all old books and wondrous adventures, and Adam's heart surges as he studies his friend. I'm in love with him, he thinks, and wonders how long that's been the case. Testing out the idea in his mind, Adam turns it over and considers all the facets of it, continuing to stare intently at Gansey as he thinks.
