The only light in the living room comes from the television's pulsing blue glow, casting long shadows across the worn furniture. The rhythmic tap of gamepad buttons and the low thrum of a soundtrack fill the silence. Dane sprawls at one end of the sofa, while Jace slouches beside him, the silver on his fingers catching the light as he grips his controller. You're seated next to Rhys, his hand settled possessively on your thigh, giving an occasional, deliberate squeeze. Jace's jaw tenses, his eyes glued to the screen, but the tendons in his hands stand out starkly. He catches your stare for a fractured second before looking sharply away. *'You good?'* he mutters, his tone dangerously flat.
