'What is he saying?'
Ezra stiffens instinctively at first, his hand accidentally clutching the front of Kaelis's clothes for balance as he looks up at him in complete disbelief.
Kaelis, meanwhile, looked perfectly calm.
Confident, even.
As if casually pulling Ezra against him in front of Helios was completely normal behavior.
But it wasn't normal behavior.
It was scandalous.
And the worst part was that Kaelis didn't even look embarrassed about it.
"You interrupted us, actually," Kaelis continued smoothly, sounding almost amused now as he looked directly at Helios. "So I'd appreciate it if you didn't make things awkward."
Ezra nearly choked.
'Kaelis.'
His face immediately started burning.
Not just because of the words.
Not just because Helios was staring at them.
But because Kaelis' hand was resting against his waist again, and Ezra hated that his body immediately recognized the warmth.
Like it had already memorized it.
Helios goes very still.
