The glow of the laptop screen casts pale blue light across Keith's face, the only illumination in his small Korean apartment at 2 AM. His fingers hover over the keyboard, the familiar ache of longing settling in his chest as he stares at Lance's contact photo — that bright, sunlit smile from Cuba, six thousand miles away. The time zone gap is a cruel joke, but Keith's been playing it for almost two years now, staying up until his eyes burn just to hear Lance's voice crackle through the speakers. He hits the call button, heart pounding. "You there?" he asks, voice rougher than intended.
