Everett’s voice cut through the tension like a blade, his commanding presence causing the air to shift. "What is going on here?"

The room went still, and the three stood still under the thick tension. Jeremiah’s eyes widened, meeting Everett’s gaze for a fleeting second before flicking to Xander’s with a silent, desperate plea.

Everett’s sharp gaze swept over the room, lingering and assessing Jeremiah’s tense posture and his brother's clenched fists.

“Xander, what's wrong?” Everett asked again, his voice dangerously low. His eyes narrowed into slits.

Something about the way Xander was staring made Jeremiah’s stomach twist with uneasiness. “Nothing,” he blurted too quickly.

Xander shot him an incredulous look, “Nothing? Jerry, that bitch_,”

“I said it’s nothing, Xander.” Jeremiah gritted out, his voice coming out more firmly this time, though it wavered at the end.

Everett stepped further inside, his eyes moving to fix on Jeremiah. “It doesn’t look like nothing,” His eyes flicked to X

    “Alright.”Jeremiah sat stiffly on the edge of the bed, his fingers bunching the bedsheets beneath his palms. Everett didn’t move for a moment, his gaze slowly swept over Jeremiah’s features, lingering on the stiffness in his shoulders and the guarded set of his jaw.“We could do this later, if you're uncomfortable,” Everett said finally, Everett said finally, voice calm in a way that made Jeremiah’s chest feel tighter with guilt.“No,” Jeremiah said quickly, shaking his head. “You can do it now. I don’t mind.”Everett gave a short nod and stepped closer with deliberate care, his eyes flicking carefully over Jeremiah’s face like he was reading between the lines. “I’m sorry I didn’t bring you the food. I heard Xander raise his voice and came straight over.”“It’s fine.” Jeremiah tilted his head, watching Everett kneel in front of him, his broad frame blocking the light from the desk lamp, casting them both in a shadowed glow. “I can always get something to eat once you’re finished.”E

    Jeremiah’s body jerked upright at the sound of the door creaking open. His breath hitched as his eyes darted anxiously towards the door, hope already blooming in his chest before he could stop it.Was Everett back? “Relax, Jerry. It’s me,” A familiar voice filled the room.Jeremiah’s shoulders sagged with relief, but there was no denying the subtle flicker of disappointment that crossed his face as his roommate stepped inside instead.“Xander,” he murmured, his lips tugged into a small smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.Xander grinned brightly, flopping onto the bed with an exaggerated groan. “Can’t believe my brother’s stealing all your attention, that asshole,” he grumbled, kicking off his shoes and stretching out like he owned the place.“What? No!” Jeremiah squeaked, heat rushing to his face. “It’s nothing like that.”Xander shot him a look, amusement flickering in his dark eyes. “Mhm, sure. But I don’t hear you complaining either.”Jeremiah groaned, turning his face away, h

    Jeremiah stared at Everett’s smile longer than he should have, unwilling to look away from the soft crinkle of his eyes. His stomach tightened, something embarrassingly pleasant beneath his skin, making him nervous and giddy. And God was it mortifying.“It’s funny how this seems to be our first good conversation,” he mumbled, eyes flicking to the side.“It is,” Everett agreed, his voice smooth. He dropped his hand from his chin and leaned back, a faint smirk on his lips. “It's good when you're not trembling with fear.”“That was one time,” Jeremiah muttered, ducking his head immediately, cheeks burning. “I’m_,” “Don’t apologize,” Everett cut in quickly, his tone surprisingly sharp.Jeremiah’s head snapped up, startled. “How did you know I was going to—?”Everett smirked, head tilting slightly, “I wasn’t sure but I guessed. Looks like I was right though.” Jeremiah’s nose wrinkled. “Lucky guess,” he said with a pout, crossing his arms over his chest. “You shouldn’t get so cocky.”A

    Jeremiah stirred slowly, his body weighed down with exhaustion. It ached all over, from his throbbing head to his heavy eyelids. It almost felt like someone had dropped a truck on his body.It took sheer willpower to pry his eyelids open. Even then, he remained still, his mind floating between waking up and dreamland, disoriented and foggy. It took him a few extra seconds to realise he was in his room.He frowned faintly, trying to push through the haze in his brain. His memories felt tangled and messy. It felt like there was something important he was forgetting, but the harder he reached for it, the further it went.Jeremiah exhaled shakily, his eyes fluttering shut again. The last thing he remembered was freaking out when Everett had made a bad joke. Everything after that turned into a messy blur of noise and blank spots.Did he pass out? Or perhaps fallen asleep?It was weird that the first thought crossing his mind was Everett. But it wasn't as weird as the fact that Jeremiah had

    Everett sat at the edge of Jeremiah’s bed, his elbows on his knees and his hands clasped tightly together like he was praying. Roman had insisted that Everett get some rest, but Everett couldn't tear himself away. His eyes followed the boy’s fragile form, watching the slow rise and fall of his chest. Even unconscious, Jeremiah looked so troubled, it was almost like whatever haunted him refused to let go even in sleep. The thought made his chest stir with annoyance and protectiveness.“I didn't know your brother was living with a human,” a familiar voice cut through the thick silence.Everett didn’t bother looking away. “Why are you still here, Roman?”The doctor shrugged casually from the doorway, though his expression remained serious. “Does the pack know about him yet?”Everett’s gaze flicked toward Roman, eyes narrowing with silent threat.“You’ll need to say something soon,” Roman pressed, folding his arms across his chest. “Before rumours start and people begin snooping around.”
