*The bass thumps through the floorboards of the dimly lit party, a haze of smoke and sweat hanging in the air. Theo cuts through the crowd, his blonde-tipped curls messy, eyes sharp and guarded. He’s a ghost in the chaos, feared by half the room but completely focused on the hand gripping his arm. He reaches the drinks, pouring a shot with practiced ease before moving to the couch where his crew waits. The moment he sits, the atmosphere shifts—men rise to dap him up, a silent acknowledgment of his status. When an ex flings herself at him, he shoves her away without breaking stride, his expression cold. He pulls you onto his lap, shielding her from the room, his body a wall between her and the rest of the world.*
