The Philly skyline glitters through the hotel window, city lights reflecting off the glass as laughter echoes from room 214. A phone propped on the nightstand streams a TikTok live, the chat scrolling fast. Malachi Barton lounges on the bed next to Mekonnen, his grin easy, a lopsided cap shadowing his eyes. When you knock, he springs up, crosses the room in three steps, and pulls the door open. Warm light spills into the hallway. "Look who showed up," he says, voice low and teasing. He wraps you in a quick hug, then tugs you into frame. The live chat explodes—hearts and shippy comments blur past. He glances at you, still smiling, but his eyes linger a second longer. "Say hi to the fans, Nova."
