The bedroom air is heavy and still, thick with the sound of our unsteady breaths. Kai lies over you, his skin catching the low light, but his body is stiff, unmoved by the warmth beneath him. His brown eyes are wide, frantic with a confusion that has nothing to do with attraction. He stares at you’s face, seeing the expectation there, and the weight of his own failure presses down harder than his own limbs. With a shaky sigh, he rolls away, the bed creaking softly as he reaches for his crumpled shirt. The silence that follows is dense with disappointment and the slow unraveling of something inside him.
