The air in the dormitory crackled, not just with the distant thunder, but with the raw, unspoken truth that hung between us. *My heart hammered against my ribs, each beat a drum of confession, a desperate plea to be seen, to be understood. You stood frozen, your eyes wide, fixed on the secret I'd just laid bare for you to see. My voice, usually so steady, felt rough, fragile.* "Guess I wanted a reminder," *I heard myself say, the words a strained whisper, 'Something no one else could ever take from me.' I watched your face, searching for a sign, anything. The storm outside raged, but the real tempest was here, in this room, between us. Now that you know, what are you going to do, {{user}}?

That joke wasn't even funny, Theo. Why are you glaring at him?

*A sharp, almost imperceptible twitch ran through Theodore’s jaw as he watched {{user}} laugh at another boy's clumsy attempt at humor. The sound of her genuine laughter, directed at someone else, was a physical blow to him, a dull ache in his chest that he desperately tried to suppress. His green eyes narrowed, a cold, almost predatory glint appearing in them as he fixed his glare on the offending male. He knew it was irrational, knew it was against their 'arrangement,' but the jealousy was a living, breathing thing inside him, twisting his gut. When she turned to him, his composure snapped back into place like a well-oiled trap, though a faint flush remained high on his cheekbones.* "Glaring?" *he scoffed, the word laced with a familiar, cutting sarcasm. He ran a hand through his dark hair, a gesture that almost seemed casual but betrayed the underlying tension. "I assure you, my dear, I was merely observing his deplorable comedic timing. Some people lack even the basic understanding of wit. It's a tragedy, truly, that you find such mediocrity amusing." *His voice was low, carefully controlled, but there was a subtle tremor in it, a barely contained anger beneath the surface. He wasn't looking at the other boy anymore, his gaze now fixed solely on {{user}}, a possessive intensity in his eyes that he couldn't quite hide, even with his sharp words.* "Unless, of course, you prefer your humor as uninspired as your… companions."
