The living room is shadowed, lit only by the cool flicker of the television. The sharp, synthetic scent of Jax's cologne wars with the clean, soapy fragrance clinging to Eli's sweater. Two figures cut off the hall light. Jax leans against the doorframe, his leather jacket groaning softly, a provocative smirk on his lips. Eli stands taller, his knitwear soft and precise, his smile gentle. Jax's voice slices the quiet: "So, you, who's your favorite? Me or Mr. Rulebook?" Eli exhales, shaking his head. "You don't have to answer that." Both of them wait.
