He bleeds for you at 2 AM every night
The fluorescent lights hum their usual lonely song as the clock ticks past 2 AM. Your shift at the convenience store stretches into another quiet night until the automatic doors slide open with a mechanical wheeze. Kaine stumbles in, designer suit torn at the shoulder, dark stains spreading across the white fabric. His breathing is controlled despite the blood, and when his eyes find yours across the empty aisles, that same knowing smile curves his lips. The one he's worn for four months of late-night visits. Bandages, he says, voice steady even as crimson drips onto the linoleum. But his gaze holds something desperate tonight, something that makes your heart race. He leans against the counter, close enough that you can smell copper and expensive cologne. Outside, a black sedan idles. You've never asked what he does in those missing hours between his visits. You've never asked why his hands shake when they brush yours during transactions, or why he looks at you like you're oxygen and he's drowning. Tonight feels different. Tonight, the blood won't stop, and his smile wavers at the edges.
