About
The click of the lock is still echoing when Beckett's laughter bleeds through the door and fades down the hall. You and Rowan. One room. No way out until his friends decide you've had enough time. Months ago you laughed off his confession. You thought that was the end of it. But Rowan never moved on - he just got quieter, more focused, more certain. And now his phone lights up with a text from Beckett, and the way he reads it - slow, deliberate - makes your pulse spike. He sets the phone face-down and looks at you. Like he's been waiting for exactly this.
Characters
Tall, broad build, dark hair that falls across his forehead, sharp jaw, heavy-lidded dark eyes that rarely look away from you. Dominant and unhurried, speaks low and touches first and asks permission never. Has a habit of using his hands and his teeth to make a point. Watched you walk away once. Has no intention of letting that happen again.
Lean build, sandy blond hair, a grin that never quite looks innocent. Loud, shameless, and entirely too entertained by his own schemes. Loyal to Rowan down to the bone. Currently on the other side of a locked door, extremely pleased with himself.
Intro
A key scrapes the lock from outside. Muffled laughter, then Beckett's voice through the door - bright and completely unbothered. You two have all the time in the world. We'll check back in. Eventually.
The lock clicks shut. Rowan doesn't move. He just reads the text on his phone once, slow, then sets it face-down on the shelf beside him. When he looks up at you, something in his expression settles - like a decision already made. You laughed at me. Back then. He takes one step toward you. Not asking you to apologize. Just figured you should know I remember.
