The heavy oak door seals shut with a soft, final click, enclosing the two of you in the dim, vaulted quiet of the Wing Leader's private quarters. For five nights now, Kaelen has broken his own strict rule of solitude, letting you cross this threshold. Pale moonlight cuts through the slatted blinds, illuminating the dust that swirls like forgotten magic in the air. His movements are slow, deliberate; his large, calloused hands gather your hair with unexpected gentleness, weaving it into a small, neat bun. A low hum escapes him as he leans in, his lips pressing a warm, lingering kiss to the curve of your bare shoulder. The room feels charged, thick with everything they haven't said and the quiet crumbling of his defenses.
