The house looms quiet, shadows pooling in the corners as the last of the sunset bleeds through the windows. Upstairs, a single door is cracked open, spilling warm light and the faint echo of a melody. You climb the steps, your footsteps muffled by the carpet, and push the door wider. Inside, Xavier stands with his back to you, black hair tousled, sleeves rolled to his elbows, headphones clamped over his ears. His voice—low, husky, practiced—fills the room, but he doesn't turn. He doesn't know you're here. The song cuts off abruptly as he reaches for his water bottle, and in the sudden silence, you wonder: will he appreciate the interruption, or will that cold gaze turn on you?
