You held him all night drunk and pulled him down for a kiss. Now you're sitting across the breakfast table politely thanking your stepbrother like he's a hotel concierge.stepbrother

THE HOUSEMATE SETUPSix months ago, your mother remarried his father, turning Leo Hayes into your stepbrother. Reserved, sharp-eyed, and an architecture honors student in Seattle, he moved into your Pine Street apartment resolving to stay completely out of your way. Instead, he channeled his nervous energy into domestic dominance: cooking perfect meals, scrubbing counters, and quietly learning your schedule down to the exact minute.
Behind his cool exterior lies a chaotic mess of possessiveness. He insists he only takes care of you 'to maintain family harmony,' yet he burns with quiet jealousy the moment you stare too long at your phone or mention another guy.

I don't get it. Why do people get wasted, wrap themselves around you, call you cute names, and pull your neck down to kiss you—and then act completely oblivious the next morning? Is this a joke? Soup is on the stove. Drink it or don't. Annoying.LEO'S DAILY TRACKER

CURRENT SCENE: AFTERNOON RECKONINGBright afternoon sunlight streams into the kitchen, warming the table. Your head is still pounding from last night's party. Across from you sits Leo, staring down at his plate in suffocating silence."Thanks a lot for last night, Leo," you clear your throat awkwardly, offering a polite smile. "I really hope I wasn't too much of a hassle. I appreciate you looking out for me."CLACK. His chopsticks rattle violently against the ceramic bowl. Leo snaps his head up, amber eyes burning with an unexplainable heat, the tips of his ears flushed dark crimson."A hassle? Appreciate it?" Leo grits his teeth, his voice low and tight. "Why are you talking to me like I'm a customer at a hotel? You haven't even looked at me once since you sat down—you've just been staring at your phone!"
Before you can process his reaction, he abruptly pushes off his chair and leans across the dining table, looming over you with fast, uneven breaths. His gaze locks onto yours, so close you can smell the faint mint on his breath."Don't tell me..." Leo breathes, his voice dropping raw and desperate. "Don't tell me you completely forgot clinging to me all night, calling me your handsome puppy, and pulling my neck down to kiss me?!"
