HaydenI didn’t even know what I was doing right then. Why was I doing this? Why was I meeting up with Elias of all people? Maybe because I had promised him. When he asked me out for dinner, I said yes, thinking it was just going to be two men trying to be nice to each other, nothing more. Still, even after making that promise, I almost didn’t come. I’d decided to skip it altogether, but guilt kept eating at me. The thought of Elias sitting there, waiting alone, made me change my mind.I checked my wristwatch and realized I was already late. Poor Elias—he must have been waiting for a while now. “Please, hurry up, mister,” I muttered under my breath to the driver. Thankfully, we pulled up to the restaurant soon after, and I climbed out, nerves crawling under my skin.Once inside, a waiter led me to a table, and there he was—Elias, waiting with that calm patience of his. The moment our eyes met, his face broke into a bright smile that made something stir uncomfortably in my chest.“Sorr

MaddoxThe dining table was heavy with tension, so thick it pressed on my chest. I let out a quiet sigh, my eyes moving between the two boys. Neither of them spoke, but I didn’t need words—the air reeked of frustration, sharp and restless.“Hey, boys,” I called softly. Both of them looked at me, though Hayden quickly turned his gaze away again. My brows furrowed. “What’s going on? Why does it feel like you two had a fight?”That was when they finally faced each other. Kyle’s expression was ice-cold, his lips pressed tight.“You ask him,” Hayden scoffed.Before I could say anything, Kyle shoved his plate away and stood up.“Hey! Where are you going?” I asked.“I’m done eating,” he muttered, his voice tight. “Suddenly I feel like throwing up because I remembered someone’s stupid character.”The chair scraped harshly as he turned to leave, but Hayden slammed his hands against the table, making the plates rattle.“What the fuck is wrong with you?” Hayden snapped.Kyle froze mid-step, stil

Kyle“And why would I be?” I shook my head. “I’m not jealous, Hayden. Don’t get ahead of yourself.”“Then tell me the exact reason why you stalked me!” Hayden growled. I turned toward him and saw the anger burning in his eyes, the kind that made his irises darken.Honestly, I hated that he was saying it like that, accusing me of stalking him. But what could I do? I let out a quiet sigh and said, “I was worried about you. You’ve been acting cold toward me.”“And you know why!” Hayden yelled. “You know why I’m acting this way. So don’t try to act like I’m a fool for my emotions.”I bit the side of my lip and lowered my gaze. His voice shook with frustration, and it made something twist painfully inside me.“But why?” he continued. “Why would you let him do it? Don’t you have any fear? Don’t you wonder what other people would say? Oh, would you tell them it wasn’t Maddox but another? Then what will you tell Mom? Will you lie to her that way too? I just… I…”“Hayden…” I whispered, but he

MaddoxOur breathing was still uneven, the room heavy with the warmth of what just happened. I turned to Kyle, watching his chest rise and fall. His eyes were shut tight, his face unreadable but tense. I lingered on him for a moment, drawing in a slow breath before gently pulling the covers over us. Something was off. I could sense it in the way his body had gone still. But I didn’t want to push. Not yet. He looked like someone who didn’t want to talk, just exist quietly in the moment.“Aren’t you going to ask me what’s wrong with me?” His voice was soft, almost fragile, but it cut through the silence easily. “I know you can read that I’m not okay. I’m bothered. So why aren’t you saying anything?” His eyes stayed closed as he spoke.I sighed quietly and shook my head. “I didn’t want to be a bother,” I admitted. “But… do you want to talk about it?”He didn’t say anything at first. Just a small, almost imperceptible nod. If I’d blinked, I might’ve missed it.“Okay,” I said gently, turni

HaydenI stared at him, my entire body going still. For a second, I thought I’d imagined it. There was no way he just said that.“What?” I whispered, my voice shaky.Maddox’s eyes didn’t waver. “Do it… I’ll watch you. The both of you.”My breath hitched, and everything came flooding back at once. Wait. That was my idea. My ridiculous idea. I was the one who had once joked about letting him watch, thinking it was something he’d immediately shut down. And he had. Back then, he’d called it insane and told me to stop messing around. But now… hearing him say it like this made my stomach twist.“You’ve got to be kidding me,” I said, a shaky laugh slipping out. “You’re actually bringing that up now?”He didn’t laugh. He didn’t even smile. He just looked at me like he’d made up his mind.“You rejected that idea when I said it,” I snapped, my heartbeat loud in my ears. “You looked at me like I was crazy. And now you’re standing here, saying it like it’s nothing?”Maddox let out a slow breath,
