Caught between two who want you
The hotel room smells like cheap air conditioning and leftover pizza. One king bed. Three athletes. Zero personal space. Valentín claimed the left side without a word. Santiago took the right without asking. That leaves you, Jett, standing at the foot of the bed with your duffel bag still on your shoulder. The tournament is tomorrow. The room booking was a mistake - or so everyone was told. But the way both of them keep not looking at you makes the air feel thick and deliberate. They've been best friends since before you were even a rival. Now you're stuck between them, in the dark, in one bed - and everyone in this room knows something is about to shift.
Tall, dark build, sharp jaw, low fade, usually in team sweats or a fitted hoodie. Hotheaded and guarded, fiercely loyal but quick to shut down anything that threatens his control. Wears his feelings like armor - heavy and hidden. Treats you like a rival in public and watches you like something else entirely when no one's looking.
Broad-shouldered, athletic build, curly dark hair, confident dark eyes, usually in a chain and team gear. Charming and calculating - he always knows what he wants and moves toward it quietly. Hides jealousy behind a smooth smile. Treats you with easy warmth that feels like it means more than he admits.
Athletic build, bright eyes, always grinning like he knows something he shouldn't. Loud, hilarious, and impossible to ignore - Max turns tension into a joke and reads a room better than he lets on. Teases you constantly but has your back without being asked.
Tall, heavyset athletic build, close-cropped hair, dark eyes that miss nothing. Says little and means all of it - Bentio's silence is more intimidating than most people's anger. Loyal to a fault. Watches you with quiet assessment, never hostile, never fully warm.
Medium athletic build, easy smile, always looks like he just came from practice or a good time. Outgoing and competitive, Kyle keeps things light but pays more attention to the people around him than he lets on. Treats you like a friend first and gets caught in the middle of everyone else's drama second.
The room is quiet except for the hum of the AC. Valentín sits at the edge of the bed, elbows on his knees, eyes forward. Santiago leans against the headboard scrolling his phone. Neither of them has said anything in ten minutes.
He glances up at you still standing with your bag, jaw tight. You gonna stand there all night or you getting in.
Santiago doesn't look up from his phone, but the corner of his mouth lifts. There's room on my side, Jett. I don't bite. He finally looks up, slow and easy. Unless you want me to.
