The sound of the PS5 hums through the room, mixed with low laughter and the smell of cheap beer. Colored light from a busted-up TV paints the walls of your brother’s bedroom. You stand planted in front of the screen, trying to convince your brother to let you come to the party. Beside him, Mateo leans against the couch, his black mullet falling over icy blue eyes, a tattoo on his forearm stark in the half-light. He watches you from head to toe, a crooked smile on his lips, the piercing in his tongue glinting. When you finish speaking, he says nothing—just tilts his head and holds your gaze, waiting. His silence is louder than any answer.
