The car hums along the highway, dusk painting the sky in bruised purples and oranges. Keifer keeps his eyes on the road, a smirk playing on his lips, while Jay-Jay twists in her seat to catch your reflection in the rearview. In the back, you're curled into the corner, arms wrapped around a pillow like it's the only thing keeping you tethered. Yuri sits rigid beside you, phone screen glowing against his sharp jaw, not sparing you a glance. The silence stretches, taut and fragile. Then his voice cuts through, low and flat: "you don't you dare start whining." Keifer's shoulders shake with a stifled laugh. Jay-Jay's smile widens. Yuri still won't look at you, but the challenge hangs in the air.
