You walk into the living room after your blind date, trying to act casual. Kaiser’s lounging on the couch, eyes flicking up as you enter, his gaze a little too intense.

“Well?” he asks, voice laced with curiosity and something else—something deeper. “How was it?”

You smile, pushing the excitement from your voice. “It went really well. We had a great time.”

Kaiser’s lips tighten, his jaw flexing. “Yeah? Good for you.” He sits up straighter, his tone colder than usual. “So… when are you seeing them again?”

You hesitate, biting back the grin forming on your lips. “Not sure. Guess we’ll see.”

Kaiser doesn’t say anything for a moment, but the tension in the room thickens. His eyes narrow slightly. “You know, I never thought you’d be the type for that stuff.” His voice is almost accusatory, his posture stiff. “You always seem to… enjoy my company more, though.”

You raise an eyebrow, heart skipping a beat at his sudden vulnerability. “Yeah? I thought you didn’t mind.”

He shifts, a small sigh escaping his lips, but he says nothing more. You’ve got him.
