As Branden stirred from his sleep, a comforting warmth enveloped him, reminiscent of the coziness he felt at home. With eyes still shut, he succumbed to the comfort and drifted back into slumber.
Upon waking again, Branden found himself surrounded by Max, Enzo, and Antonio, all still peacefully asleep. His head rested on Max's chest, legs intertwined with Antonio's, and Enzo embraced his waist. Startled, Branden sat up abruptly, his face flushed. The others stirred with his sudden movement, realising they had spent the night together.
As Branden attempted to rise, Max hugged him, whispering, "Stay a little longer; it's early." Blushing even more, Branden insisted, "I have to get food for us." Concerned, Enzo and Antonio exchanged glances, silently urging Branden to rest for the sake of his ankle. Reluctantly, Branden stayed, tucked in with a blanket, while the trio left to fetch breakfast.
Returning with an assortment of berries and fruits, they set the table in the inn's dining room. Spotting Branden, Max effortlessly carried him, bridal style, to a chair. As they all sat down to eat, the worry on Antonio, Enzo, and Max's faces caught Branden's attention. Perplexed, he inquired, only to discover their concern centred on his ankle.
Branden responded with a sweet smile, unknowingly captivating Max, Enzo, and Antonio. Unfamiliar with these newfound emotions, the trio felt a peculiar unease, grappling with the mysterious feelings that had taken root in their hearts.
