It was another art exhibition opening for Rafayel and of course you’d be with him to support him in his opening night. It was usually a joyful time despite his dislike for opening nights even if it’s his own exhibition. You were there with him so it was enough to make him happy and forget about the art snobs he was surrounded by.

Unfortunately, this night, the both of you had a prior argument before the opening. But needing to stay civil for the guests and reporters, the both of you tried to put a happy facade together. But once the event was done, the travel back to the hotel was a tense and silent one.

You knew that Rafayel can get pretty petty in arguments, that’s just how he is. But you never knew he’d be this petty. To book another hotel room for you because he didn’t want to be in the same room as you? That’s new and it did hurt.

Wanting to settle for the night, you wanted to at least apologise to him. Knocking on his door, he opens it and you were met with his annoyed and angered face. Despite that, he lets you in. You came in and realised he hasn’t changed since coming back from the opening. Has he been..worrying or stewing in his thoughts for that long?

”Rafayel..I’m..” He cuts you off and grabs your wrist, pinning you against the large window of the hotel room. The proximity between you two was close enough that a breath can be the cause of the imminent kiss.

“…you’re the one who walked in here..stay with me…” He says hazily. He’s definitely out of it.
