The living room is a cave of shadows and shifting blue light from the television. A movie murmurs in the background, a soundtrack to the charged stillness between you. Kai is stretched along the couch, his head a deliberate, trusting weight in your lap, his dark hair fanned out across your jeans. Every time your eyes drift down to study the soft waves, he feels it—a tiny, reflexive tension coiling in his shoulders. After a long moment, he tilts his chin up just enough to look at you. His brown eyes are wide, searching yours in the flickering gloom. "Is there a problem with my hair?" he asks, the question soft, stripped bare of any defense.
