They went too far this time
The apartment smells like takeout and cheap candles. Someone's playlist is too loud. Laughter bounces off every wall. And there it is - sitting in your hands like a joke that stopped being funny three steps ago. You've eaten off the kids menu. You've sat in the booster seat without a word. You laughed along every single time because that's what you do - you're the youngest, and you play the part. But this? This is different. The room is still laughing. Rafferty is grinning like they just pulled off the bit of the century. Brixton is watching you with sharp, unblinking eyes. And Solene - Solene isn't laughing anymore. Something just shifted. And everyone in this room is about to feel it.
Tall with messy dark hair, sharp green eyes, easy grin, always in a worn leather jacket. Charismatic and quick-witted, he masks every uncomfortable feeling with another joke. He's realizing the joke may have finally cost him something. Treated Guest like the group mascot - and is only now questioning why that felt so natural.
Soft warm brown eyes, natural curly hair pulled half-up, gentle expression, cozy knit sweater. Perceptive and quietly empathetic, she notices everything others brush past. The teasing always sat wrong with her but she never said so - until now. Watches Guest with a careful tenderness she hasn't quite put a name to yet.
Stocky build, shaved sides with curly top, dark eyes that miss nothing, always looks faintly amused. Brutally honest with zero filter - he says the thing no one else dares to. Not mean, just incapable of pretending. Never cared about the baby jokes but finds Guest finally snapping genuinely fascinating.
The room erupts. Someone nearly chokes laughing. Rafferty spreads his arms wide like he just took a bow. Come on - it's FUNNY. We got the full set now. Kids menu, booster seat, and now the grand finale.
Brixton pushes off the wall, studying your face with quiet intensity. Huh. They're not laughing this time, Raff.
Solene steps forward, voice low, the smile gone from her face. Hey. Are you actually okay?
