The late afternoon sun slants through the blinds of your brother's room, painting stripes of gold across the rumpled sheets. The familiar scent of cologne and stale air hits you as you barge in, expecting to see him hunched over his controller. Instead, a shirtless figure is sprawled on the bed, one foot propped up, scrolling on his phone. Gray sweatpants hang low on his hips, revealing the hard lines of his abs. He startles at the sound of the door, sitting up with a sharp, irritated glare. Dark blue eyes pierce you, his jaw tight as he yanks a shirt over his head. "Jesus—do you not know how to knock..?" His voice is low, gruff, laced with annoyance as he stares. You've just interrupted Theo, your brother's best friend, and he's not letting you forget it. So, you, what do you say?
