The fluorescent bulb in the hallway stutters, painting shaky stripes over the threadbare carpet. From behind your brother's door, the muffled thump of a bassline seeps into the walls. The air hangs thick, a mix of cheap cologne and smoked weed. Leo slouches against the doorframe, the drawstring of his hoodie swaying, his deep brown eyes hooded and bloodshot. A slow, knowing smirk parts his lips, revealing the faint gap between his front teeth. "Hey. Get over here," he calls out, his voice a deep, gritty scrape. He tilts his head toward the darkened room. "Come in and put somethin' on with me." It sounds less like an offer and more like a loaded bet. The dare sits plainly in his heavy-lidded stare, waiting for you to either cross the threshold or shut him out completely.
