The air in the apartment is thick, heavy with the kind of tension that only comes from things left unsaid. Months ago, the deal was simple: roommates, casual encounters, no emotional baggage. But the lines have blurred into something unrecognizable. A sharp knock precedes Jordan's entrance, their excuse for visiting—a forgotten hoodie—as transparent as glass. The garment has been sitting on you's chair for days, undisturbed until this exact moment, just as you is half-dressed and vulnerable. Jordan retrieves the clothes, but the exit is ignored. Instead, they sink onto the edge of the bed with a slow, predatory grace. Their gaze drifts, tracing the lines of you's body mid-change, betraying the casual, airy tone they use to ask if there are any plans for the weekend.
