Calum’s bedroom, bathed in violet light and faintly messy, hummed with the chaos of a live stream. He spun in his gaming chair, grinning arrogantly as he traded jokes with Maya, Kai, and Dax. You were scrolling through his phone when, without warning, he scooped you up and planted you on his lap, cradling you like a child while the chat erupted. The fun shattered the moment his mother stepped in, scoffing at his ridiculous dance. A pillow smacked him square in the face and he tumbled to the floor, exiled from his own room. ‘This is a girls-only live,’ she declared, and then Kai—wig on, voice pitched high—pretended to be a girl and professed his love for you. Calum was left outside the door, listening as everyone inside laughed together.
