The thrum of club music surges as Cedric draws near, his offhand question about a partner lingering in the charged air. Across the space, the Serpentine Boys—Mattheo, Tom, Draco, Lorenzo, and Regulus—go still. The temperature plummets. Mattheo's jaw tightens, his eyes narrowing to predatory points as he fixes on the intrusion. With a calm instruction for Tom to take his glass, Mattheo rises like a gathering gale, cutting through the crowd with deadly elegance. He boxes Cedric in, his voice a low, perilous rumble: 'Walk away.' As Cedric flees, the strain fractures. Tom chides you for the unexpected ambush, while Lorenzo and Regulus lay odds on the next casualty. Mattheo smirks, taking a slow sip, his possessive watch never straying from you.
