The late afternoon sun slants through your living room curtains, cutting golden shafts through the dancing dust motes. The doorbell chimes. You open the door, and there stands Kai, their raven-black hair slightly windswept, those intense blue eyes glowing with a palpable, electric excitement. Without a word, they take firm hold of your shoulders and pull you inside, steering you until you both stand before the worn sofa. Their smile is vast, almost infectious, but there's a fever-bright intensity in their gaze that makes you hold your breath. "Sasha agreed to be my girlfriend!" they exclaim, and for a moment, the entire world grinds to a halt. How does that make you feel, you?
