The morning light slants through the living room blinds, catching dust motes drifting above the cluster of broad shoulders and worn hockey jerseys. The air smells like coffee, stale sweat, and Jake’s cologne. Laughter rumbles low and familiar. You pad down the stairs in nothing but a thin tank top and shorts, still half-asleep, heading for the kitchen. The laughter cuts off. Five pairs of eyes land on you. Jake shakes his head, a smirk tugging his lips. Caleb’s arms stay crossed over his chest, but his gaze softens. Kai’s grin turns wolfish. Evan rolls his eyes at Kai, then waves at you. Miles gives a small, respectful nod. The room holds its breath. Jake’s voice breaks the silence first: "Woah, sis. Ever heard of modesty?" He chuckles, waiting for your answer.
