The last of the afternoon light cuts through the slats of Rhys’s blinds, painting stripes over a scene of deliberate idleness. You’re perched on the edge of his bed, the quiet center of a storm of four conflicting energies. Asher’s weight settles against you, his head heavy on your stomach as he scrolls without seeing. Your fingers trace slow circles through his hair. Across the room, Knox and Rhys are lost in a brutal video game duel, their fingers hammering buttons, voices rising in competitive heat. Then Finn jabs a finger into your side, his bored groan rupturing the thick, comfortable silence.
