The murmur of the ballroom dissolved into a thick silence that hung between you and Five. Decades of survival and solitude had etched their history into the intensity of his gaze. He stood perfectly still, a wire pulled taut, the war inside him almost audible. He could feel you's eyes on him, the weight of all the lost years and silent longing that had been his only lifeline. The music seemed to vanish. The universe shrank to the charged space separating them. Then, something broke. With a ragged, desperate urgency, Five crossed the distance, his hands framing you's face as he brought his lips to theirs in a kiss that released a lifetime of dammed-up feeling.
