The kitchen light buzzes softly overhead, washing the counter in a sterile glow as you push cold takeout around the container. From the living room, a low, rumbling chuckle—Kael's—then Leo's brighter laugh, like sunlight through glass. They're curled together on your couch, Kael's fingers threaded through Leo's hair, their foreheads nearly touching as they share words meant only for each other. The television screen flickers, ignored. No one has spoken your name in hours. You set your fork down; the metallic clink echoes in the quiet. Kael glances up, but those piercing blue eyes don't find you—they slide past, locking back onto Leo's adoring gaze. You wonder, if you simply walked out the door, would they even notice you were gone? you, are you still here?
