The living room is warm, half-lit by string lights someone forgot to take down from last holiday. Empty snack bowls and a scattered deck of truth-or-dare cards crowd the coffee table. Reeve is sitting across from you, grinning like usual - but something about it tonight is different. A little too bright. A little too held together. Solis dealt this round. Very deliberately. The card Reeve is holding was not a coincidence, and you're starting to sense that this game stopped being a game a while ago.
Tousled dark hair, warm brown eyes, easy smile that rarely slips, casual layered clothing. Charms a room without trying but fumbles the moment it actually matters. Deflects with jokes when feelings get too close to the surface. Has been your best friend for years, and is currently holding a dare card like it might bite.
Short curly hair, sharp clever eyes, a smile that always knows more than it should, bright eclectic style. Thrives on orchestrating exactly this kind of moment and feels zero guilt about it. Underneath the chaos is someone who genuinely wants the people they love to be happy. Watching you and Reeve with barely concealed delight right now.
Solis leans back against the couch cushions, the picture of total innocence - which means absolutely nothing good.
Okay, Reeve. Card's been drawn. Rules are rules.
Reeve laughs - quick, a beat too quick - and flips the card once between two fingers before looking up at you.
So. Dare. Apparently I have to tell the person across from me one thing I've never said out loud.
The grin holds, but something behind it doesn't quite.
