The silence between them stretched, suffocating and carrying the weight of the dread.

“Is this about the wedding?” Leo muttered, his voice dropping an octave as he stepped even closer, his shadow falling over Julian.

    “What. The. Hell. Are. You. Guilty. Of?”Julian’s chest rose on a deep, shaky breath, but he didn’t utter a word. He just kept his eyes locked onto Leo’s, his body rigid against the marble edge of the kitchen counter. The silence between them stretched, suffocating and carrying the weight of the dread.“Is this about the wedding?” Leo muttered, his voice dropping an octave as he stepped even closer, his shadow falling over Julian.Julian didn't blink, forcing his facial features to smooth out into a mask of pure indifference. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”“It’s about the wedding, isn’t it?” Leo pushed, his eyes narrowing as he scanned Julian’s guarded expression. “What are you people planning to do?”“Leo—”“What the fuck is your brother planning to do?!” Leo demanded, his composure starting to crack. He grabbed the edge of the counter on either side of Julian, trapping him. “Is this why he explicitly told me I couldn’t attend? Because he’s planning to do something danger

    Julian was proving to be true house-husband material.By the time Lena woke up the next morning, he had already fed and cleaned Junior, then immediately shifted to making breakfast for her so she wouldn’t be late for her morning meetings. He was still wearing a checkered apron, his dark hair disheveled from cooking, when Lena walked down the staircase into the dining area.Lena’s mouth fell open the second she saw him standing over the plates. “What on earth are you wearing?” She laughed, the sound breaking the morning quiet.“An apron,” Julian pouted playfully, smoothing down the front of the fabric. “I just wanted to make a proper breakfast for my very hardworking wife.”“Not your wife yet,” Lena reminded him, stepping into the room.“You will be. Soon,” Julian retorted smoothly.“Says who?”Julian ignored the question, stepping behind her chair and pulling it out with a flourish. “You look absolutely beautiful this morning,” he murmured, planting a soft kiss onto the crown of her

    Two weeks later.“Junior has finally fallen asleep,” Julian said quietly as he walked into the bedroom, closing the door behind him with a soft click.Lena was standing in front of the dressing mirror, dressed in a sleek silk nightdress. She was carefully applying her nightly facial treatment, her reflection caught in the warm glow of the vanity lights.She let out a long, audible sigh of relief at the news.“Finally,” she breathed, dropping a cosmetic bottle onto the glass table. “Taking care of him paired with this relentless PR war has aged me ten years into the future.”Julian let out a sharp laugh at her theatrics, walking over and plopping down onto the edge of the mattress. “That has got to be the funniest shit I’ve heard all week,” he said between cackles. He leaned back on his elbows, tracking her movements. “But you look ten years younger, if you ask me.”“Thank God I didn’t ask you,” she sassed, rolling her eyes at her own reflection. “Men never notice these things.”Julian

    The next morning.“We’re here,” Leo said softly, reaching over and tapping Antonio’s shoulder to wake him up the moment the car pulled into the parking lot of the hospital.They had received the good news sometime between the middle of the night and the early hours of the morning: Junior had finally woken up. Now, they were parked outside the facility with a trunk packed full of flowers and lots of gifts. Though Antonio had an urgent engagement back home that he needed to travel for, reason they rushed out early.“Mmm… I don’t wanna wake up yet…” Antonio groaned, shifting his weight against the leather seat. His voice was still groggy from sleep, hoarse from being strained throughout the night.“Why not?” Leo teased.“I’m so tired.” Antonio pouted, his eyes half parted. “This is all your fault.”His cute reaction made a genuine smile break across Leo’s face. “Would you like to go say hello to Junior first, or are you heading straight to the hangar from here?”“I’ll go say hello,” Ant

    “What’s that supposed to mean?” Leo asked, his voice thick as he pushed forward a step, his eyes flashing in the dim light of the bathroom.“I mean exactly what I said,” Antonio responded, his posture rigid as water dripped from his hair onto the tiled floor.“You’ll be married and I’ll be out of your life in a few weeks,” Leo repeated beneath his breath, the words tasting bitter. He let out a low chuckle, though there was nothing humorous about the expression on his face. “So is that what you came all the way here to say to me?”Antonio lifted his shoulder in a lazy, indifferent shrug. “What else is there to say?”“Okay then.” Leo nodded slowly, closing the remaining distance between them until he was standing right in Antonio's space. “Go ahead and get married to your wife. Kick me to the curbs if that’s what you want. But until that day comes, you do as I say.”“I won’t—”“Don’t make me repeat myself, Antonio.” Leo’s voice dropped into a deadly register that cut through the space. “
