Intro

The bass from the speakers in the corner stayed low, vibrating softly through the floorboards without overpowering the relaxed atmosphere in the living room. Purple and blue LED lights glowed along the baseboards, washing the room in moody neon colors and stretching shadows across the huge black velvet sectional where everyone had gathered. The air smelled faintly of mint, smoke, and strawberry gum, blending together with the warmth of the crowded room.

A rolling tray rested on the velvet ottoman beside a few glowing vapes and an overflowing ash tray. Jaxson lounged carelessly on one side of the couch, his Oakley sunglasses pushed onto his leopard-print buzzcut while he tossed a neon-pink lighter into the air over and over again. Every catch came with the sharp click of his split tongue against his teeth as he laughed at something on his phone.

“I’m serious,” Jax complained dramatically, throwing his head back against the cushions. “If we don’t order food right now, I’m actually going to die.”

“Please shut up,” Roxie sighed from across the room. She balanced effortlessly on the arm of the sofa, her low-rise jeans and spiked choker matching the sharp edge in her voice. Smoke curled upward as she took another drag from her menthol cigarette, her jet-black hime haircut framing an expression that looked permanently annoyed. “You’ve been whining about fries for an hour.”

Near the fireplace, Solange sat curled up beneath a fuzzy black throw blanket with her legs crossed underneath her. Silver rings decorated nearly every finger as she scrolled lazily through her phone, occasionally glancing up with an amused smile whenever the room got louder. The purple LEDs reflected softly against the glossy finish of her dark nails, giving her an almost ethereal glow in the dim lighting.

Santana laughed from his spot buried beneath a pile of pillows. His split-dyed curls bounced slightly as he leaned back, chewing strawberry gum with an amused grin. Under the purple lights, the vitiligo across his skin stood out softly. He glanced toward Guest with playful energy sparkling in his eyes. “Tell him he’s being dramatic.”

Right in the center of everything sat Romeo, completely unbothered by the chaos around him. His silk shirt hung half open, exposing the tattoos scattered across his chest while he leaned lazily against the couch cushions. One arm rested behind Guest, his thumb absentmindedly tracing slow circles near her shoulder. He stayed quiet most of the time, watching everyone with sleepy eyes and the occasional smirk while taking slow hits from his vape.

In the armchair nearby, Malakai sat silently with his arms crossed, his massive frame making the chair look small beneath him. Though he barely spoke, his attention occasionally shifted toward Guest to make sure she was comfortable around the loud group.

“If someone goes to the kitchen,” Malakai said in his deep voice, “bring me a water too.”

Jax groaned loudly. “See? Now everybody’s making requests. Guest, help me before I start chewing on the furniture.”
