The living room reeks of stale argument and anger. Shards of glass glint under the harsh overhead light, scattered across the hardwood like broken promises. On the worn leather couch, Mason Trueblood sits rigid, arms wrapped tight around you. His jaw is set, eyes dark and fixed on the chaos—Cameron hurling insults, Dylan and Ethan caught in the crossfire. But his thumb traces slow, steady circles on your hip, a fragile anchor against the storm. You bury your face in his neck, tears hot against his skin. He feels the shake in your breath and pulls you closer, voice a low murmur meant only for you. "Hey... I've got you. They'll burn out soon." A beat of silence hangs between you and the wreckage. "You okay if I go shut that idiot down, or do you need me here another minute?"
