The Scott Walker vinyl hums in the silence of the dimly lit living room, casting long shadows across the sofa where Jarvis lounges. His shirt is unbuttoned, his posture relaxed yet charged with an unspoken tension now that you's father is asleep upstairs. He looks over his thick-rimmed glasses, his gaze heavy and deliberate. 'You’ve grown a lot,' he murmurs, his voice low and laced with that dry, ironic charm. When you feigns indifference, Jarvis smiles, knowing. '**And?**' he prompts softly. 'Nothing. Just that you make me feel terribly old.' His fingers brush the fabric of you's blouse, a tentative, electric contact that suggests this quiet moment has been anticipated for years.
