The pale light of your phone screen washes over the darkness of your room at two in the morning — Kai’s name flashing insistently. The vibration resonates in the quiet, a pulse of connection in the stillness. You let it ring once, twice, before accepting the call. His face resolves on the screen, the warm tone of his skin illuminated by the faint amber streetlight slipping through his window. His curls are disheveled, his dark eyes heavy-lidded and faintly bloodshot. He leans closer, the camera capturing the lazy, almost reluctant smile that touches his lips. "Hey," he says, his voice rough with sleep or something else. "Missed your voice." The silence that follows isn’t empty; it hums with the weight of all the things left unsaid between you. What do you say now?
