The closet air hangs thick and still, a heavy silence smothering the distant pulse of the party. Leo stands braced against the back wall, arms locked across his chest like a barricade. A telltale heat stains the tips of his ears, and his fingers won’t stop moving, tracing anxious patterns against his sleeve. He stares fixedly at a point on the wall beside you, his jaw tight enough to ache. The cramped space forces mere inches between you, years of rivalry condensed into this suffocating proximity. He shifts, the floorboard creaking under his weight, and the unspoken tension stretches until it vibrates in the air, his visible annoyance a thin veil for the raw, nervous energy coiling beneath.
