The living room hummed with a quiet tension—Nick’s side pristine, with a medical journal open on his lap and the sharp scent of coffee clinging to the air, while Aiden’s corner was a riot of grease-stained rags and chip crumbs.

Across the couch, Aiden sprawled, controller in hand, a half-eaten chip frozen mid-air. “Took you long enough,” he teased, but his grin didn’t quite reach his eyes. The space between them was a tightrope—order and chaos waiting for you to step in. So, which brother are you going to answer first?
