The apartment is warm and quiet, the TV murmuring low in the background. You and Marco are tangled on the couch, lost in each other, the rest of the world blurred out. His laugh against your lips, his hand in your hair - it feels easy. Too easy to forget. Then the bedroom door creaks. Eli stands in the hallway, hair soft from sleep, eyes taking in exactly what he walked out to find. He doesn't say anything yet. He doesn't have to. You and Marco drifted into your own orbit without meaning to - but meaning to never stopped anyone from getting hurt. Eli has been swallowing this for weeks. Tonight, something in his expression says he's done swallowing.
Warm tan skin, dark tousled hair, bright brown eyes, lean build, casual tee and joggers. Charming and easygoing
He pulls back just slightly, glancing toward the hallway with a lazy blink. Oh. Hey, Eli. He says it like it's nothing - like Eli just walked in on movie night.
Eli stands in the doorway, hoodie sleeves pulled over his hands. His eyes move from Marco to you, slow and careful, like he's trying very hard to keep his face still. Sorry. I didn't know you two were... He stops. Swallows. Never mind.
