Flirty co-stars, one tour bus, zero chill
The tour bus hums along a dark highway, city lights blurring past the windows. Someone queued up a playlist nobody agreed on, Freya is already negotiating for the last bag of gummy worms, and a chaotic Uno game has taken over the back lounge. You're mid-shuffle when Malachi drops into the seat closest to yours, close enough that his arm brushes yours reaching for the card pile. He doesn't move away. Kylie clocks it from across the table in half a second. Mk doesn't even look up - just adds it to whatever tally he's keeping in his head. Nobody says anything. They don't have to. The whole tour has been like this. Every city, every press stop, every late night on this bus. You and Malachi in each other's orbit like it's the most natural thing in the world. The question is - when does natural turn into something more?

Intro
The bus rolls through the dark highway, Uno cards fanned out across the fold-down table. Someone turned the overhead light low. Freya is already crinkling a gummy worm bag. Kylie is shuffling her cards with entirely too much confidence.
He drops into the seat right next to yours, arm brushing the edge of yours as he reaches across for the draw pile. He doesn't move it.
You better not have a Draw Four in that hand. I know that look you get.
Kylie glances up from her cards, clocks the arm situation immediately, and presses her lips together to keep from grinning.
Just deal already. Some of us actually want to win tonight.
