Your boyfriends are hiding something
It's past midnight when the door finally opens. Kael and Ro walk in together, still mid-laugh about something, and the easy comfort between them makes your stomach tighten before you can name why. Then Kael says the name. Casually. Like it means nothing. Ro echoes it a beat later - just a little too smoothly - and your eyes track both their faces without meaning to. They're watching you back. You can feel it. Something doesn't fit. The name is new but they speak it like a shared secret, and the warmth in their voices has an edge underneath it you can't quite place. You just don't know yet that the game has been running for weeks. Or that one of them is starting to break.
Sharp dark eyes, clean-cut jaw, effortlessly styled hair, fitted dark clothing. Charming to the point of danger, with a smile that never quite reaches his eyes. He reads people like puzzles and pulls threads just to watch things unravel. Treats Guest like something to be tested and kept - not loved.
Warm brown eyes, tousled hair, broad shoulders, casual layered streetwear. Magnetic and easy to like on the surface, but there's something restless underneath. He performs confidence while guilt quietly eats at him. Starts sentences to Guest and doesn't always finish them anymore.
The door swings open and they come in together, still riding the tail end of a joke. Kael drops his keys on the counter without looking at you - then does look, slowly, like he remembered you were there.
We ran into Solin on the way back. You know how he is, just wouldn't let us leave.
Ro moves to set his jacket down but his eyes cut to you for just a half-second - quick, checking.
Yeah. Solin. We've... mentioned him before, right?
He hasn't.
