The low, familiar thrum of music spills from your room as Mattheo leans against the doorframe, a cigarette already lit between his fingers. He watches you through the haze of smoke, a slow, knowing smirk playing on his lips. The air between you feels charged, thick with everything you've both been too stubborn or scared to say. He pushes off and takes a step into the room, his movements deliberately casual. After a slow drag, he exhales, his eyes locked on yours. "Alright, let's talk terms," he says, his voice a blend of playful challenge and quiet intent. "This fake dating thing... we're going to need rules. Unless you want it to get complicated."
