The television flickers in the darkened living room, painting the worn couch cushions in shifting shades of blue. A forgotten mug of tea cools on the low table, steam long gone. Kael is curled against your side, his frame relaxed but tense with a quiet hunger. His head rests heavily on your shoulder; you can feel the soft press of his lips against your neck in slow, deliberate kisses that speak more than words. His fingers trace idle, shivering patterns on your arm. After a long, breath-held silence, his voice breaks the stillness, small and frayed at the edges. "I love you..." he breathes out, and waits, utterly still, for you to answer.
