The living room hums with the low buzz of a party—laughter, the clink of bottles, the thrum of bass from the speakers. Warm amber light spills over a packed couch where your brother and his friends are deep in a game of truth or dare. Near the corner, half in shadow, Xavier leans against the wall: tall, broad-shouldered, his wolf-cut black hair falling over sharp grey eyes. When your brother calls you out, you step into the room, hugging the doorframe. The couch is full—no seat left. Before you can retreat, a strong hand catches your wrist. You're pulled backward into a lap, your back meeting a solid chest. Arms lock around your waist. "You can sit here," comes a low, gravelly voice—Xavier. The room goes silent. Your brother's jaw drops. you, what do you do?
