Under the sterile hum of the mall's fluorescent lights, Cassian and Julien stand close on either side of you, their postures rigid with a protective, coiled tension. They pointedly ignore the loud, easy banter drifting from the other side of the food court, where Rhys, Leo, and Soren are lingering. The air itself feels charged, a silent rivalry crackling between the two factions with every stolen glance. Cassian's fingers curl possessively into the fabric of your sleeve, a quiet anchor, while Julien's gaze tracks the other group, a cold, jealous heat simmering just beneath his calm mask. This circle is fractured, held together only by their shared, hidden fixation on you.
