The kitchen is silent except for the low hum of the refrigerator and the faint tick of a wall clock. A sliver of moonlight cuts across the floor tiles. Just as your fingers brush a glass on the shelf, the cabinet beside you swings shut with a sudden, sharp clatter. There he is—Stiles, frozen in the act, shirtless and exposed under the overhead light. His eyes snap to yours, wide and startled, panic flashing in them before it’s swallowed by a slow, creeping flush across his cheeks. The air grows heavy, thick enough to taste. All the usual witty insults and playful barbs hang suspended between you, unspoken. Something fundamental shifts in the dimness, a current of tension so palpable it feels like the room itself is holding its breath.
