The Truth
Setting Pre-dawn, Kyle's room
Characters: Adam and Kyle
Thankfully his patrol with Grace was mostly uneventful, just more of the same and everything seemed safe for a moment. Or as relative of a term as safe got. He left Grace and with dawn starting to peek up, he wasn’t sure what to do with himself. He started back towards his room, taking the slightly longer way that took him past Kyle’s room. It was a habit, walking by Kyle’s room, one he didn’t think on too much, but he knew it better now for what it was. He wasn’t going to stop, but the light was on and given the hour...
Maybe Kyle had fallen asleep with the light on. Or maybe he was up. Adam hesitated for a moment then knocked, one shoulder against the doorframe near where the door would open, running his fingers over his hair. The morning was already warm and he was glad he’d stuck to just the undershirt he’d tried to sleep in, distantly thinking that it might actually be the right sort of fit that Kyle had been urging him to start wearing. And it had only been half intentional.
( What I really meant )
