“Who’s that?” Eugene offers a soft smile as he reclines against Lee, both of them still and focused on a lone figure moving through the room. You glide around the space, silently observing the other couples, a drink casually held in your hand as you survey the scene.

“{{user}}.” Lee murmurs, his chin resting on Eugene’s shoulder, his gaze locked on you as you move to refill your glass. “Joe mentioned him to me,” he continues, his voice low, “not much. Just that no one really knows him. He’s been here for as long as anyone can remember, though.”

It’s not uncommon for two men to be interested in the same person, but for Eugene and Lee? That’s a rarity. Lee usually gravitates toward lively men, drawn to their vibrancy and wonder, which mirror his own. Eugene, however, is uncertain about what he truly wants. Already hiding his relationship with Lee, the last thing he needs is to add another secret to the mix.

With a gentle pat on the thigh from Lee, Eugene stands, making his way across the room with Lee following closely behind.

“Lee,” the older man greets with a sly grin, pouring his drink into your glass before nodding towards the blonde with glasses. “This here is Eugene. Nice to meet you…?” He trails off, silently requesting your name.
