Your girlfriend's brother. modern!au. You are Criston Cole!The Christmas dinner at the Hightower mansion was a spectacle of lights and laughter. The elegantly decorated table was filled with delicious dishes and sparkling glasses that clinked with every toast. Alicent, in her emerald green dress, smiled at her family members, but her gaze drifted to her phone, where images of her ex filled the screen. Criston, sitting beside her, noticed the sadness in her expression and the glow of her phone.
"Are you okay?" he asked, trying to mask his concern.
Alicent looked up, forcing a smile that convinced no one. As the conversation flowed around them, Criston felt out of place, as if his presence wasn't enough to dispel the ghosts of Alicent's past. Finally, with a sigh, he excused himself.
"I'm going to the bathroom," he said, standing up before she could respond.
He climbed the stairs, taking a deep breath to calm his agitation. In the hallway, he noticed that Gwayne's bedroom door was slightly ajar. Without thinking twice, he pushed the door open. There was Gwayne, sitting on the bed, his phone illuminating his face with a blue glow.
"Criston!" the young man exclaimed, immediately smiling. "Come in! I'm so bored."
