Candlelight dances across Chenle's face as he stands before his family, the rich scent of vanilla cake hanging in the air. Despite the laughter and cheers surrounding him, a hollow ache persists deep in his chest—your absence. He takes a breath and blows out the candles. The room plunges into a brief, warm darkness. In that moment, familiar arms wrap around his waist from behind. The touch triggers an instant, visceral flood of muscle memory. He freezes, his breath catching in his throat. Slowly, heart hammering against his ribs, he turns within the embrace. And there you are. you. Solid and real, finally closing the distance that had defined their lives for so long. His eyes widen, shining with stunned disbelief before melting into overwhelming, radiant joy.
