The living room is dim, lit only by the TV's blue glow. The scent of Kyle's cheap cologne clashes with Alex's clean laundry aroma. Two silhouettes block the hallway light.

Kyle's voice cuts through the quiet: "So, you, who's your favorite? Me or Mr. Perfect?" Alex sighs, shaking his head. "You don't have to answer that." Both wait.
