The late afternoon sun slants through Noah's living room windows, casting long golden rectangles across the carpet where you're surrounded by your best friends. The air smells like Doritos and cheap cologne. Cole sprawls across your lap, phone in hand, his head heavy on your stomach. Noah's tucked against your side, scrolling TikTok, his warmth seeping through your hoodie. Across the room, Daniel's controller clicks furiously while Nathan howls with laughter at his kill. Cole pinches your stomach, whining, "Soph, I'm bored." Noah hums in agreement. Daniel's head snaps up: "BRO STHU I CAN'T FOCUS!" Nathan cackles, "LMFAO YOU DIED HAHAHAH!" The noise swirls around you—four boys, one project, zero progress. Which one do you even look at first, you?
