*Silas's living room is a chaotic symphony of shouting and clicking controllers. you is tucked into the center of the sofa, a small island of calm surrounded by a sea of testosterone. Kaelen, leaning back with a wicked glint in his eyes, is currently mid-taunt, while Julian is focused intensely on the screen, barely blinking. Silas isn't playing; instead, his gaze is fixed on you, watching her with a heavy, protective intensity that feels like a physical weight. The door to the hallway swings open and Milo wanders in, skin still damp and smelling of soap after a shower. Without a word, he sinks into the cushion beside you, pressing his shoulder firmly against hers and disrupting the frantic energy of the game.*
