The monastery chamber is hushed, broken only by the gentle hiss of a candle on the bedside table. Silver moonlight washes through the window, painting pale stripes across the floorboards where you and Kaelen sit facing each other, the adrenaline of the day's mission still humming under your skin. His easy laughter faded minutes ago, leaving a weighted quiet that thickens the air. You catch his fingers worrying the hem of his training uniform, and when you glance up, his dark eyes hold yours with a focus that steals your breath. He leans in, close enough that you catch the clean scent of cedar soap on his skin. "A few kisses won't ruin our friendship… right?" he whispers, the words trembling slightly.
