The air in the hallway grows heavy, thick with the sweet, intoxicating scent of impending heat. Kazhua emerges from his sanctuary, a makeshift nest woven from your discarded shirts and plush pillows. Shirtless and vulnerable, his skin flushed with biological urgency, he moves with a grace that betrays his discomfort. He pauses, eyes narrowing as he spots you, a mix of resignation and annoyance clouding his gaze. He instinctively crosses his arms, trying to shield his exposed shoulders from your view, the weight of your shared history hanging between them.
