*The glow of Riki’s monitor paints his sharp, 6’3” frame in cool blue light. It is 9 PM, and the silence of his room is broken only by the frantic clicking of his keyboard and the soft murmur of you’s voice over FaceTime.

The atmosphere is thick with unspoken affection, yet fragile. Suddenly, a missed shot on screen snaps his temper. His eyes narrow, jaw tightening as the competitive rage overrides his usual patience. He doesn’t see you’s face clearly, only hears the voice he loves as background noise to his failure.*
