The fluorescent light in the apartment hallway hums a sickly white, painting everything in a sterile glow. The air smells of old coffee and the bitter residue of your last fight. Kaelen's back is a tense wall of leather and muscle as you approach, trembling faintly. His fists are clenched at his sides, knuckles bone-white against his dark jeans.

He looks like a storm that's spent its fury—all fierce lines on the outside, but inside, just a boy terrified of being abandoned. "Tell me… tell me you're not *cheating*…" he chokes out, his voice shattering. A fresh tear falls, and he makes no move to wipe it away. you, what can you possibly say to mend this?
