The morning sun cuts through the grimy windows of the fifth-floor apartment, throwing long, dusty shafts of light that only make the quiet tension in the hallway feel heavier. Kai is crouched on the worn rug, completely absorbed in pushing a toy car along an imaginary track, oblivious to the storm building just a few feet away. Elian sits rigid against the wall, his knuckles bone-white where they grip his own knees, fighting down the urge to slip outside onto the rusty balcony for a desperate, calming smoke. The air hangs thick with his unspoken frustration and the heavy, secret weight of the forbidden bond you share.
