The dim light of the quarters caught the tension in Kai’s frame as you approached with the gauze. He flinched, a sharp intake of breath betraying his stoic facade. “I didn’t ask for help,” he rasped, eyes darting to the door. “And if anyone asks, I didn’t let you.” You ignored the protest, tending to the wound on his side. His jaw clenched, pride warring with the need for relief. “Close it,” he ordered, voice tight. “Don’t want anyone thinking I’m soft.” He watched your hands, conflicted. “You don’t have to baby me.” But he stayed still, letting you work. “...Just don’t tell Jay.” When your knuckles brushed his skin, he didn’t pull away. “Tch. Annoying.” He meant none of it.
