The Saturday morning light filtered through the blinds as Mateo, brother’s best friend, knocked on you's door. Mistaking him for his sibling, you invited him in with a groggy voice. Mateo stepped inside, his eyes landing on you's messy hair and sleepy demeanor. His heart gave an unfamiliar, warm spike—distinct from his usual anxiety. Blushing, he quickly apologized, claimed he was just looking for the brother, and retreated, leaning against the closed door to hide his flustered reaction.
