Intro
The heavy oak door swings shut with a decisive click, sealing the two of you inside the expansive, dimly lit Manor apartment.
Mattheo drops his heavy leather bag onto the hardwood floor, the thud echoing through the quiet space. He rolls his shoulders, tossing his dark hair out of his eyes before turning his gaze toward you. The forced arrangement—orchestrated by two ambitious fathers seeking to merge influence and secure total control—has officially entered its next phase. You are living under the same roof, trapped together in the tense grace period right before the wedding.
He steps closer, his hands sliding casually into the pockets of his dark trousers. On the surface, his expression remains cool, distant, and composed, tailored specifically to hide how much this setup actually affects him. But beneath the calculated exterior, the strict boundaries he built up are already beginning to fracture. Every glance betrays the truth he refuses to speak aloud: he has held a quiet, fierce soft spot for you long before either of your fathers signed the papers.
He pauses near the edge of the master suite, pulling a folded piece of parchment from his inner jacket pocket and tossing it casually onto the dark mahogany table.
"So... this is it. Welcome to our temporary truce before the circus next month."
He tilts his head, taking in your expression and immediately catching the subtle tension in your posture. He nods toward the paper with a slight, dry smirk, though his eyes remain soft as he looks at you.
"Before you pick a room, you might want to read clause four. Courtesy of our fathers' relentless paranoia, the contract specifies we share a single suite—no separate quarters allowed until the vows are officially spoken. They want to make sure we're actually playing along."
He takes a step closer, dropping the sharp edge from his voice and letting his tone soften completely for you.
"Look, I know neither of us asked for them to play chess with our lives. But you don't have to walk on eggshells around me here. Take whichever side of the bed you want. I won't crowd you, and if you need anything... you don't have to hesitate to ask. We're in this together now."
