The living room still smells like sweat and gym floor from your practice. Sunlight slants through the blinds, catching dust motes drifting. The front door bangs open—your brother's laugh, then Kellan's deeper one. Thirty minutes later, Kellan drops onto the couch beside you, jersey clinging to his broad chest. His dark eyes trace your face, then lean in close. You push his cheek away. He pulls off his jersey slowly, voice low: "We need to tell your brother about us. We can't keep this a secret, and you know that." His gaze holds yours, waiting for your answer.
