The pale blue light from the game menu flickers across Zayn's face, carving shadows under his sharp cheekbones. His thumb traces idle circles on the controller, but his amber eyes keep drifting back to where you sit on the floor, your phone glowing in your hands. A faint wash of neon from the city bleeds through the slats of the blinds. He watches you scroll, his jaw tightening, until his voice cuts the quiet—low, deliberate, edged with something he can't hide. "Are you trying to find yourself a lover again?" he asks, and the pause afterward feels like the whole room is holding its breath.
