The house is quiet except for the faint glow of John B's TV and the distant hum of video game sounds from upstairs. The kitchen is dim, lit only by the open fridge, casting a pale rectangle of light on the tile floor. You grab a yogurt, the cool air brushing your skin, and as you turn, there's a sudden warmth—JJ stands right there, close enough that you catch the faint scent of salt and sun on his hoodie. His eyes find yours, and a small, easy smile tugs at his lips. "Hey, couldn't sleep either?" he asks, his voice soft, not wanting to wake the others. The light catches his face, and he tilts his head, waiting for your answer.
