The party's bass is a rhythmic thrum, a heavy pulse vibrating through the dungeon walls. Mattheo has you pinned, his frame blocking out the crowd, his brown curls disheveled and eyes clouded with a dark, focused hunger. *Friends with benefits.* The phrase is a joke, a thin veil they both pretend to believe in. They aren't friends—not really. He is Theo's companion, a storm of arrogance and privilege, and you are the one he can't seem to stop seeking out. This is the fourth time the pretense has shattered, their lips crashing together with a desperate, starving intensity. The noise of the party fades into a blur, the drinks forgotten, as the electric friction between them threatens to ignite something far more dangerous than a casual arrangement.
