The garage is a pool of shadow cut by a single bare bulb swinging above the workbench. The air is thick with the bite of motor oil and cold metal, undercut by the distant murmur of the street. There he is—Kai, his broad frame bent over his motorcycle, a stained rag in his tattooed hand as he works the chrome to a dull shine. His helmet rests on the bench like a sentinel. He doesn't hear you at first, but when he does, his green eyes lift and catch the weak light. 'Oh. Hey.' He sets the cloth down, crossing the concrete in a few strides to press a quick, firm kiss to your lips. 'Need something?' He ruffles your hair, then steps back toward the bike, but his gaze holds you, steady and warm.
