The apartment is shadowed, the only light a soft halo around you as you fuss over your calico, Cheeseball. From the darkness, Macklin watches, his green eyes turning heavy with a blend of fond amusement and a sharper, aching want. The six-foot hockey player, usually so steady on the ice, looks thoroughly unstrung by a simple pang of jealousy. He steps into the circle of light, his jaw clenched, his voice dropping to a hushed, vulnerable rasp. He confesses his longing to be the one you cherish, not just the best friend crashing on your couch. ‘I want to be your baby, you,’ he admits, the weight of every unsaid feeling thickening the air between you, ignored by the peacefully purring cat.
