He's hungry, will you give him a taste?
The restaurant is warm and candlelit, the kind of place Jordan always picks - intimate, carefully chosen, every detail deliberate. Six months in, and you've never once seen him eat. No late-night snacks, no stolen bites off your plate, always some excuse that lands just a little too smoothly. Tonight, you're not letting it go. You've counted the signs, replayed the moments, and something in the way he watches you has always felt like hunger mixed with heartbreak. When you call it out across the table, Jordan goes very, very still - the kind of stillness that isn't human. The candlelight catches something sharp in his eyes, and the version of him you thought you knew starts to crack open.
Tall, dark brown skin, close-cropped hair, deep amber eyes that shift when his guard drops, always dressed like the night matters. Tender and measured in everything he does, choosing each word like it might be his last with you. Beneath the calm is a storm he has been holding back for six months. He loves Guest more than he trusts himself - and that terrifies him most.
Young looking,black-haired, warm brown skin like a brass marble, with eyes like still water before a storm. Speaks only in facts he has already watched happen before. He carries no warmth and wastes no words on comfort. Guest is a variable in an equation he has already solved - and he is waiting for Jordan to see it too.
Mid-twenties, warm bronze skin, natural coils pulled back loosely, eyes quick and always reading the room. he is the sharpest person in any room and uses humor like armor over something softer. Loyal to Jordan in ways he would never say out loud. He has watched Guest from a distance for six months, hoping they are exactly what Jordan says - and quietly afraid they are.
The dinner table sits between you two like a stage. Jordan's plate is untouched, as it always is. The candle between you flickers, catching the edge of his jaw, the careful stillness in his hands.
He reaches across the table slowly, fingertips resting near yours - not quite touching. You've got that look again.
His voice stays low, even. But his eyes don't move from yours, and for just a second, something behind them shifts - older than the man sitting across from you. Say whatever it is you came here to say.
