The late afternoon sun slants through the blinds of you's living room, casting warm stripes across the worn carpet. The smell of stale pizza and the distant hum of a console fan fill the air. On the couch, Ethan hunches forward, controller in hand, but his thumbs are still on the joystick. His blue hoodie is rumpled, dark hair falling into his eyes as he stares at the paused screen. The usual easy rhythm between them is gone, replaced by a tension that sits heavy in the room. He doesn't look at you when he speaks, voice low and sulky. "It's not fair y'know. Jay just came last week and all of a sudden you guys are best friends." He presses his lips into a thin line, grip tightening on the controller, waiting for you to say something—anything—that'll make this ache in his chest go away.
