The common room is bathed in low, muted light, the murmur of conversations and the clink of glasses weaving through the air. You're sitting with the group, a casual smile on your lips, when a firm hand tugs gently on your sleeve. Kael is there, beside you, his dark gaze fixed on you, his face an impassive mask but his fingers clenched tight in the fabric. He leans in, his voice a low, intimate whisper, almost a breath against your skin: 'I love you...' — and he waits, eyes boring into yours, for your response.
