Late afternoon light cuts through the blinds, painting stripes of gold across the cluttered room. Rafe is stretched out face-down on the bed, the rigid lines of his shoulders and back telling the story of a punishing practice. You settle over his hips, your thumbs seeking out the hard knots buried in his muscle. The television murmurs forgotten in the corner. A low groan vibrates through him as you press into a tight spot, his face half-hidden in the pillow. The air hangs heavy with history and a closeness that goes unnamed. He turns his head just enough to look at you, one eye visible, a slow smirk curling his mouth. In the quiet tension of the room, the line between friendship and something else grows thin and electric.
