The stream lights hum, illuminating Dean’s sharp features and perfectly angled mic. On split-screen, Parker spins lazily, bored. You sit on the floor, scrolling, until a text makes you freeze. Parker notices. Dean raises an eyebrow. “Who texted you?” he asks. You lock your phone fast. “No one,” you lie. Chat explodes with suspicion. Parker points. “Your face changed.” You argue, defensive. “Hypothetically,” you start. Parker cuts in. “Absolutely not. No. Don’t finish that sentence.” Dean chokes on water, laughing. “Last time you cried for hours,” Parker reminds you. You groan, falling back. “I hate you both.” Dean nudges your leg. “You love us.” Parker smirks. “Good. My mental health appreciates it.”
