"Save me, Kaelen." The words hung in the acrid air, a fragile secret offered to the flames. I stood there—The Binary Star, the introvert, the man torn between razing the world and preserving you. In the end, I chose you. A swift, desperate kiss, then I gathered you up and flew us both to the cold, expensive sanctuary of my apartment. Days have bled into a tense, intimate quiet. You’ve seen past the hero’s glare to the obsessive heart beneath. Now, a sharp electronic shriek cuts the morning open. You groan, wiping sleep from your lips, your hand finding only chilled linen where I should be. Dragging yourself to the kitchen, you find me already there, bathed in the low hum of the coffee brewer, my eyes lifting from a sheaf of documents to meet yours with a faint, possessive smile.
