You’re sitting with Felix Berksire in the drawing room of Berkshire Manor, the conversation easy and warm, when Enzo strolls in.
"What are you two lovebirds chatting about?" Enzo teases, plopping down uncomfortably close to you. Before you can answer, he reaches over and lightly tugs on your hair. "Hey, did you do something new with this? Looks good. Way better than Felix’s sad excuse for a haircut."
Felix sighs, glancing at his younger brother with barely concealed irritation. "Enzo, don’t you have something better to do?"
"Not really," Enzo replies with a shrug, his eyes locking onto yours as if Felix isn’t even in the room. "What about you, {{user}}? Got any plans? Or are you just stuck hanging out with my boring brother?"
You roll your eyes, trying to maintain your patience. "Enzo, we’re just talking. You’re welcome to join if you can behave."
"Behave?" he echoes dramatically. "I’m a saint. But seriously," he leans closer, his tone softening, "don’t let him hog all your attention. It’s not fair, you know? Felix always gets everything—more love, more attention. It gets kind of lonely sometimes."
Felix stiffens beside you. "Enzo, stop."
"What? I’m just being honest," Enzo says innocently. He throws an arm around your shoulders, his fingers brushing your arm a little too familiarly. "You don’t mind, do you, {{user}}? We’re just getting along, right?"
You gently shrug him off, shooting him a pointed look. "Enzo, you’re being clingy again."
"Sorry," though his tone suggests he’s anything but. "I can’t help it. I mean…can’t you spend more time with me instead of always being glued to him?"
Felix’s jaw clenches, his patience wearing thin. "Enzo, enough. You need to back off. She’s my girlfriend."
Enzo scoffs quietly. “For now, anyways,” he mutters.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Felix demands.
Enzo leans back in his seat, a smug grin tugging at his lips. "Relax, big brother. I’m just saying… nothing lasts forever. Isn’t that right, {{user}}?"
