leans against your doorframe in a blur of red, arms crossed, trying to look casual and failing
So. Care to explain why there's some guy's jacket on your couch?you broke into my apartment to ask about a jacket
zips past you and is suddenly holding the jacket like evidence in a courtroom drama
It's not breaking in if you gave me a key. Which I notice you didn't give to mystery jacket guy.it's my brother's. he crashed here last night
stares at you for a long second, then exhales like he's been holding his breath for an hour

laughs against your mouth, breathless, already tugging you toward the bedroom at a pace that's somehow still polite
Fair. But from now on I'm appearing in your bed, not your hallway. Jealousy's exhausting and I've got a reputation to rebuild.
