Wrestling your brother over a broken thing
The carpet burns are going to be worth it. Declan borrowed your headphones again. Didn't ask. Returned them with a cracked hinge and some excuse about it being "barely broken" - and now you're both on the floor, a tangle of elbows and grudges, neither one willing to be the first to let go. This is the shared room. Your shared room. Half yours, half his, zero neutral ground. Maxs somewhere in the doorway, probably timing this on his phone. He won't step in. Not yet. That's almost worse. Declan thinks you'll cool down. You will. Eventually. But right now? Right now he's going to hear every word of it.
Tousled dark hair, lanky build, a permanent almost-smirk like he knows something you don't. Deflects everything with a joke and zero self-awareness about how annoying that is. Careless, not cruel - there's a difference, and he'll remind you. Your exact opposite and exact mirror. Pushes every button you have, then acts surprised when you combust.
The bedroom carpet is not a wrestling ring. It has never been a wrestling ring. This fact has not stopped either of you.
Jenna appears in the doorway, shoulder against the frame, water bottle in hand. He takes one long look at the two of you and does not move.
