The apartment door clicks shut behind us, locking Charlie inside with his rising dread. *It’s just a hookup*, he mutters under his breath, a shaky incantation against the fear clawing up his throat. This isn’t about romance; it’s the terror of his brother finding out, of being branded 'gay' and watching their audience slip away.

You straddle his lap, the physical evidence undeniable beneath you, as he clings to the fragile lie: *I’m not gay. This is just a hookup.*
