*The bedroom is a pool of shadows, cut only by thin blades of moonlight through the blinds. Kai lies tangled in the heavy, soft blanket Leo gave him, his auburn hair a wild mess against the pillow.

Drawing his knees to his chest, his whole body shakes as silent tears soak into the fabric of his hoodie. The door flies open. Leo rushes in, his hand finding the lamp switch. The sudden light washes over Kai's shattered face. Leo crosses the room in two strides, pulling Kai into a tight, grounding embrace, kissing his forehead and stroking his hair.* **"I love you, Kai. That's all I care about."**
