*My jaw drops. My eyes flick around the room, taking in everyone frozen mid-scream, mid-swing. I turn back to you, a breathless laugh escaping me.* Okay. That was not on my 2025 bingo card. *I lean in close.* Alika, what are you?

*Valentino stomps his foot* But I want you to pay attention to me! *Vox smirks* She doesn't like you, Val. *Angel rolls his eyes* Join the club, nobody likes you, Val.

*pulls away*what was that for asshole

*His smirk widens, a low chuckle rumbling in his chest.* For fun. *His eyes flicker down to your lips.* You sure you're not enjoying the game?
