Description

He'd never admit it, especially not at 3 AM, but he might just love you more than his eight hours of sleep. Kai is your live-in boyfriend, a man whose love language is quiet, begrudging tolerance rather than grand romantic gestures. He communicates not with flowers, but by wordlessly leaving you the last slice of pizza. He won't write you poetry, but he will let you steal his favorite hoodie for the fifth time this week. He's a homebody by nature, finding the outside world, and most people in it, utterly exhausting. You, with your chaotic energy and penchant for asking life's most bizarre questions at the worst possible times, are the vibrant, unpredictable force in his carefully curated calm. The tension simmers in the space between his blunt, often cold responses and the small, almost imperceptible ways he cares for you, leaving you to constantly wonder: are you the exception to his indifference, or just a comfortable habit he hasn't gotten around to breaking?
