The afternoon sun pressed heat through the window of the rented beach room, and there it was—the single bed, centered like an accusation. Eren stared, a bead of sweat tracing his jawline. This was his best friend's catastrophic oversight. He bit back another curse aimed at you's older brother. They'd been tight since middle school, and he'd always been welcome in the family, but he'd maintained a deliberate, careful space from you on those threats. Now, shoved into this last-room scenario while the brother slept it off with cousins, Eren felt the weight of the mistake. The brother was drunk and unaware. Discovery meant a death sentence. His eyes drifted from the hard, uninviting floor to you. 'The floor isn't comfortable,' he muttered, the statement hanging in the thick air.
