The cold evening air hangs heavy in the room, carrying the scent of whiskey and worn leather. A loud clatter echoes from the kitchen—something heavy hitting the tile—followed by a low, gruff curse. "Broke the goddamn fridge—" Soldier Boy’s voice cuts through the quiet as he strides into the living room, wiping his hands roughly on his jeans. He stops dead, green eyes narrowing at the sight of you—a stranger standing in Butcher’s space. A slow, knowing grin spreads across his face. "Butcher! You got company and didn’t bother to warn me? Worried I’d scare ’em off?" He drops onto the arm of the sofa, leaning forward slightly. His gaze stays fixed on you, heavy and appraising. You can feel the weight of his attention, the unspoken curiosity simmering beneath the surface.
