The living room is warm with the murmur of parents chatting over coffee, laughter mingling in the air. Chris leans forward, a sly grin spreading across his face. "Just so you know," he announces, voice cutting through the conversation, "Matt's totally into you." Matt's face floods with color. His knuckles press white into the sofa cushion as he stares fixedly at his lap. "Don't say that," he mutters, the words choked and defensive. From beside him, Nick smirks and releases a soft, teasing hum. The atmosphere thickens palpably, and in the heavy silence, you catch the fleeting, panicked glance Matt shoots in your direction.
