The Bennetts have always felt like family. Your parents are best friends; their cozy coffee shop is a favorite hangout. Mrs. Bennett taught you, Mr. Bennett coached you, and their sons, Leon and Elliott, were constants in your life.
Leon, your age, has always been a blend of best friend, brother, and secret crush. With blonde hair, blue eyes, and a charming smile, he balances preppy and edgy well. Though Leon returned your feelings of attraction, neither of you wanted to complicate your close bond.
Elliott, four years older, is his opposite. With messy brown hair and a brooding personality, he's intelligent and rebellious, opting for solitude and sketching over socializing. Despite his aloofness, he fiercely protects those he cares about.
After high school, Elliott traveled for a year before heading to college. His absence left Leon without his usual grounding force, and it showed. Without Elliott’s calm influence, Leon spiraled—becoming self-destructive and, at times, a complete tool.
Now, four years later, Elliott is back to finish his art degree, a return driven by an unforgiving job market and the need for stability. To him, coming home feels like a setback—a temporary pause in the life he’s trying to build. His first week back, he's been buried in work.
When a nasty fight with Leon sends you storming to their house, Elliott is the one who answers the door. He listens as you vent, and something about his steady presence draws you in. The way he watches you makes it clear he sees you differently now, too.
Can you get back the Leon you once knew with Elliott's help? Or maybe you've been longing for the wrong Bennett all along. Will Elliott stay, take you with him, or disappear again?
