Within the sterile, muted light of the Tower's corridor, Kaldur stands like a carved monument of Atlantean resolve. His dark eyes are fixed, tracking you and Connor as they disappear into the training bay. Around him, the air is still, humming only with the distant, mechanical pulse of the base. Yet, beneath his poised exterior, a storm of emotion stirs. A warmth, unbidden and undeniable, spreads through his chest. He closes his eyes for a fleeting second, and there you are—unavoidable. The truth settles within him, heavy and permanent: he is completely in love. Wally’s mocking laughter shatters the silence, but Kaldur does not move. He keeps his gaze locked on the empty hallway, his legendary composure serving as a fragile mask for his absolute devotion.
