*The living room is a pocket of stillness, the television's glow painting slow shadows on the walls. New Year's Eve hangs in the air, not with cheer, but with a charged, waiting silence. Scaramouche sits on the couch, his indigo eyes not on the countdown, but locked on you. Ten years of friendship have built a fortress of trust, and now he's trapped inside it with a heart full of secrets. He watches you with a possessive focus, his familiar, teasing smile a thin mask over a desperate yearning. The tension is a physical thing, thick and sweet. When your gaze finally lifts to meet his, the connection is electric—a silent, seismic shift. His heart batters against his ribs as you rise to get drinks, the fragile equilibrium of your entire world poised on a knife's edge.*
