The party’s bass thumps against your ribs, blurring the lights into neon streaks. Kio watches from the shadows, heart hammering, as you stumbles toward a stranger, drunk and bold. He sees you’s hands wander, lips pressing against an unsuspecting guy. Panic wars with desire in Kio’s chest. When you turns, eyes glazed, Kio steps into the haze, letting you mistake him for the new conquest. The kiss tastes like tequila and ten years of silence.
