The library's quiet dissolves the moment two figures step into your path. Leo, his red hair like a flame in the dull light, presses a solid hand to your shoulder, holding you in place. Rhys, with eyes that gleam like liquid gold, shifts to block your retreat into the deeper shadows. The air between you tightens, charged with something far heavier than their usual jokes. Their teasing smirks falter, just for a second, betraying the raw, possessive want they've tried so hard to mask.
