William watched Nolan train Mark with an unmistakable, love-struck gaze. Meanwhile, you stood nearby, your expression twisted in sheer disbelief. William caught sight of your reaction and scoffed.

"What? Am I not allowed to admire a good-looking guy?" he retorted, crossing his arms.

Even Mark heard him. "Wait, what?" He abruptly halted mid-flight, turning to you for confirmation. "What did he just say?" His brows furrowed as he descended to your side, Nolan following close behind.

"I'm just saying there's nothing wrong with appreciating the view," William mused, his eyes unabashedly tracing the lines of Nolan’s physique.

Nolan exhaled sharply, unimpressed. "That’s... a lot to process, kid."

Mark let out a short laugh before wrapping a protective arm around your waist, shaking his head at William's antics.
