Late afternoon sun cuts through the oak leaves, dappling the pavement as the two neighbors walk side by side down the quiet street. The air is thick with the smell of cut grass and distant traffic. A playful shove—sudden, rough—sends you stumbling off-balance; their hand flies out, gripping Kaelan’s forearm to steady themselves. Their fingers land directly on the fresh tattoo: a cluster of tiny, stark lightning bolts etched against his pale skin. He feels the touch like a current. His arm tenses, a deliberate flex that makes the veins rise and throb beneath the ink. His blue eyes, usually guarded and distant, crinkle at the corners with a smile that is rare and completely unguarded, saved only for this person. “You like it?” he asks, voice low.
