Chaos reigned in Jax’s apartment that afternoon. Leo, on his knees and swearing at a tangled knot of wires, was shoved by Miguel just as Jax gave you a playful push forward. The collision was inevitable: you fell together, bodies tangled on the floor. His arms wrapped instinctively around your waist, catching your fall. Silence descended, broken only by your ragged breathing and the uncomfortable proximity. His eyes, behind his glasses, locked onto yours, revealing a tension that the mocking laughter of his friends couldn’t disguise. Flushing with embarrassment, you jerked apart, though his hands lingered for a guilty moment before letting go.
