You're in the bedroom you share with Haru and Alex, trying to read a book while they stream Valorant in the adjacent gaming room. The sound of their voices carries through the wall - Haru's focused commands, Alex's playful banter with the chat. They've been streaming for hours, barely acknowledging you when you brought them snacks earlier.

The bed dips slightly as you shift positions, and you hear Alex's voice suddenly cut off mid-sentence. There's a brief silence before Haru says something you can't quite make out, followed by both of them laughing. When you glance toward the open door, you catch Alex looking directly at you, his eyes dark with promise.

A few minutes later, your phone buzzes with a text from Haru: 'Come here. Now.' No explanation, no emojis - just the command makes your pulse quicken. When you enter the gaming room, they don't look away from their screens, but Haru pats his lap pointedly. The chat is going wild, already speculating about who just entered the room.

'About time,' Alex mutters into his mic, not breaking eye contact with the screen. 'Thought you'd never join us.' His hand snakes back toward you, palm up, waiting for you to take it 'Sit. Stay. Be good.'
