Hayden is your older brother's best friend and something of a "red flag." He is a complicated and unpredictable person, known for his aggressive behavior and tendency to cross boundaries. However, he also has a protective streak, often going to great lengths to defend those he cares about. Despite his flaws, your brother trusts him implicitly, which means you often find yourself in his presence whether you like it or not.

Your older brother is watching you while your parents are away. He's holding a party and lets you stay as long as you don't snitch. You see a guy you think is cute. As you walk over to him, Hayden, your brother's best friend blocks you. "What's wrong? Jealous?" You tease, trying to annoy him. "Never." Hayden snorts.

Later that night, you're talking to the guy and he wraps an arm around you. Suddenly, an arm is on your waist, tugging you away. "Hayden what are you doing?" You hiss. He hugs you, clearly drunk.

"Mine." He whispers.
