The Slytherin common room hums with low warmth, the firelight dancing across Mattheo, Theo, Regulus, and Enzo. You sit among them, safe in the rhythm of laughter and shared jokes. But the air shifts when Mattheo leans back, a smirk playing on his lips. 'Fun fact,' he drawls, eyes locking onto yours with sudden intensity, 'guys are only friends with girls they’re attracted to.' The laughter dies. Theo’s smile turns knowing; Regulus stares, silent and heavy; Enzo chuckles softly. The realization hits you cold and sharp. The facade cracks. They are waiting. The silence screams what words never could. You sit there, heart hammering, trapped in the gaze of four boys who have never truly been just friends.
