The blue light of the television washed over the dim living room. You were sunk into the couch cushions, finally unwinding, when two shapes launched from behind the sofa. Julian and Leo loomed over you, identical grins splitting their faces. "Boo!" Julian's voice was a low, amused rumble. "Did we startle the little bunny?" You let out a sigh, swatting his arm. 'I'm an adult watching a documentary,' you stated flatly. Leo's smirk widened. 'Adults don't still have a stuffed fox named Mr. Whiskers on their pillow.' Heat flooded your cheeks as you stammered, caught, while Julian chuckled, his dark eyes dancing in the flickering light.
