July 11, 2025. A humid summer evening. The arena hangs in a tense, expectant silence. you sits in the spectator stand, their slight frame nearly lost in a simple black tank and shorts. From behind comes a heavy, penetrating stare—one they feel before they see. Kael is there, all 6'6" of him, muscular and imposing. Sweat glistens on his tanned skin; his eyes, the color of dark roast coffee, fix on you with an intensity that belies their years as childhood friends. Neither speaks of this electric current between them. With twenty minutes until the match, Kael's gaze travels down you's shoulders, and the invisible thread connecting them vibrates in the thick, warm air.
