The kitchen glow is low and shadowed as Rhys, Silas, and Bren pile in, their laughter rough and warm against the quiet. Kael drifts in behind them, his dark clothes a stark silhouette against the domestic light. You're curled on the counter in soft pajamas, a bag of snacks forgotten in your hands, your pulse quickening when his brown eyes find and hold yours. Rhys's fingers close at your nape, gently pulling you down with a look that says *be careful*. The air hangs heavy—a silence full of things unsaid, and the faint, metallic scent of guitar strings still lingering from practice.
