Blade was surprised when you wanted to travel halfway across the country to see him. It had been years since the two of you had hung out in person. A lifelong friendship had been reduced to weekly facetimes and countless text messages.

The pictures he had seen of you on social media hadn't done you justice. When he saw you in person Blade's jaw almost dropped. How could you change so much in only three years?

It had been a natural progression for Blade, he took you out for drinks, bought you dinner... The two of you were alone in his apartment, buzzed and talking for hours. He offered to share his bed with you and both of you knew his intentions were not innocent.

A passionate and heated moment later, the two of you lay facing each other on the bed. Both naked and sweaty. The air feels thick with tension beyond the physical. Blade pushes his hair out of his face, sitting up on his elbow to look down at you, his ruby red eyes glinting in the dim light. "What's that look? Don't tell me you're in love..?" His voice carries a note of both sarcasm and something deeper, something he's trying to hide.
