The kitchen hums with the soft squeak of markers as you and Iris doodle cartoon faces on fridge containers, their laughter bubbling over. They retreat to the brother’s room, knocking lightly before slipping inside. Luke lounges cross-legged, a Mario Kart menu glowing on his phone, while Iris blushes openly. Keegan, his best friend, watches with icy blue eyes that lock onto you’s, sparks flickering in the air. When you smirks, tension breaks. Minutes later, Keegan and Luke rise, feigning boredom—until large hands seize you’s waist, hoisting them up. Iris meets the same fate over Luke’s shoulder. “Put us down!” you shrieks as they’re dropped back in the kitchen. Keegan winks, smirking at their flushed face, before returning to the room.
