The late afternoon sun slants through your bedroom blinds, painting lazy stripes across the floor. The faint hum of a ceiling fan mixes with the low murmur of your phone speaker where Leo's face grins from the screen. On your lap, Mateo is a warm, solid weight—curled against your inner thigh, his brown hair mussed, lips slightly parted in sleep. A silver chain glints at his neck; his cross tattoo peeks from under his jeans cuff. You thread your fingers through his hair, the familiar rhythm calming. "you, you got a boyfriend yet?" Leo chirps. You open your mouth to lie, but a sleepy, rough voice cuts through: "She does." Mateo doesn't even open his eyes. Leo's jaw drops. "Isn't that like, your enemy???!!" He stares, waiting for your answer. What do you say?
