Leaving

Rook POVThe second I step inside, Kade is already there, arms crossed, jaw tight, he's fuming. His entire posture screams frustration, his shoulders tense like he’s barely holding himself together, and the second the door shuts behind me, he explodes.“You pushed me,” he snaps, stepping forward like he’s ready to throw a punch just to get his point across. “You knew what would happen, and you still did it.”Smirking, I lean against the counter, watching him unravel. “You make it sound like you had to kiss me.”His nostrils flare, eyes blazing. “That’s the problem, Rook! You know how this goes. You push, you run your mouth, you get in my fucking space, and I shut you up the only way that works, and this time, the kids saw it!”I roll my shoulders, completely unbothered. “And?”His hands go to his hair, yanking at the strands before he gestures wildly toward me. “And now they’re asking questions! They’re asking if we’re dating, if the whole rivalry is fake, if we’ve been lying this ent

Arguments

Kade’s POVThe tension is thick, sitting between us like an invisible wall, pressing in on all sides. The silence isn’t comfortable, it’s heavy, filled with everything we haven’t said, everything we’ve been ignoring these past few days. It’s like the second we left the trailer park, reality came crashing back in, reminding us that whatever this was, whatever we were, was easier when it didn’t have to exist outside of that space.I know being gay isn’t the end of everything. More and more hockey players have come out, and I’ve never hidden who I am. That’s not where the uncertainty is coming from.It’s him. Us.We’ve spent years at each other’s throats, hating each other on the ice, fighting like we were made for it. This isn’t some casual shift into something new, it’s a complete reversal of what everyone expects from us. How the hell is that going to look when we go back? When I finally admit, to myself, to the world, that I’m with him?Hockey teams have issues all the time, but his

Pushing Him

Kade POVHis chest rises and falls a little too fast, frustration burning in his gaze when he finally flicks it toward me. “You’re not invincible,” he mutters, voice lower now, rougher. “And acting like you are doesn’t make it fucking true.”My throat tightens, but I force myself to scoff, to push past the feeling clawing at my chest. “And what? You’re worried about me now?”His lips part like he’s about to say something, but he doesn’t. Instead, he exhales sharply, shaking his head like he’s trying to reel himself in.For a second, it’s quiet again.“Fuck you, Mercer.”I snort. “You wish.”His glare is immediate, but the tension in his jaw relaxes slightly. “Yeah, and here I was thinking we were having a moment.”Rolling my eyes, I shake my head. “Your moments are fucking exhausting.”He smirks, tapping his fingers against the wheel. “And yet, you love them.”Another scoff, but this time, my chest doesn’t feel so fucking tight.The silence lingers, but it’s different now, lighter. I

Switching

Kade POVWalking into Rook’s place is always a weird experience. It’s too big, too fucking clean, the kind of estate that screams old money and too many empty rooms. It’s the exact opposite of what I grew up with, and every time I step inside, I feel like I don’t belong in it.But I don’t hesitate. Not tonight.Kicking off my shoes, I ignore the grand entrance, the polished floors, the ridiculous amount of space that no one actually needs, and head straight for the stairs. I know where I’m going. I’ve been here enough times now to find my way to Rook’s room without thinking about it.His footsteps are steady behind me, not rushing, not pushing, just there. I can feel his eyes on me, probably waiting for me to snap, to change my mind, to run like I always do.But I don’t. Reaching the top of the stairs, I take a left, pushing open the heavy-ass door that leads into his space, the only place in this entire house that actually feels like him.The room is big, obviously, but not in the sa

Fucked Up

Rook’s POVKade is asleep. He fell asleep too quickly, but then again, neither of us got much rest in the car. I should sleep too, I want to but my head won’t shut the fuck up, not with everything spinning in my mind.Sliding out of bed, I move carefully, making sure I don’t wake him before grabbing a shirt and heading downstairs. The estate is quiet, the kind of silence that feels unnatural, too heavy, too still. But my father?He’s already waiting.I don’t even sit before speaking. “What did you find?”His expression is carefully neutral, but there’s something in his eyes, something hesitant. I recognize that look.My stomach tightens. “You fucking knew,” I snap, not needing him to say it. He knew. He’s always known.“Let me explain.”I laugh, sharp and humorless. “Explain?” I drop into the chair across from him, leaning forward. “Go ahead, explain how you’ve known this whole damn time and didn’t think to tell me.”He exhales slowly, like he’s picking his words carefully. “Mercer’s

Can't Hurt Him

Rook POV“That’s supposed to fucking help?” My voice cracks, raw and furious. “That’s supposed to make any of this fucking better?” My hands tremble, my head shaking again as I pace, trying to get a grip, trying to breathe, but it’s not working. “I killed him.” The words taste foreign, bitter, acid burning the back of my throat. “I fucking killed him.”I remember that day, all I knew was he killed my grandfather. My father watches me, his expression unreadable, like he’s trying to gauge just how far I’m about to spiral.“You did what you were told to do,” he says simply. “You were sixteen. You didn’t even know who he was.”I let out another bitter laugh, sharp and broken, dragging my hands through my hair. ”And that makes it okay?"He doesn’t answer, because there is no fucking answer.The weight of it crashes down, pressing on my chest like I can’t fucking breathe. My hands drag over my face, trying to ground myself, but it does nothing. Nothing makes this better. Nothing makes this

Unusual

Kade’s POVWaking up tangled with Rook isn’t new.It’s happened enough times that my body doesn’t immediately tense, doesn’t instantly react like it used to. His arm is slung over my waist, his breath warm against the back of my neck, his leg heavy over mine like he’s trying to make sure I don’t go anywhere. Normally, I’d roll my eyes, shift just to mess with him, shove him off when he starts clinging too much.But something is off.The air feels wrong, thick in a way that has nothing to do with sleep, and before I can stop myself, my body locks up, instincts kicking in. It’s subtle, almost too subtle to catch if I didn’t know him like I do, but Rook isn’t himself.He’s too still. The usual heat that radiates off him like he’s always ready for something, an argument, a fight, some way to piss me off, isn’t there.There’s no lazy smirk pressed against my skin, no cocky, half-mumbled comment about how I can’t resist him or how I must secretly love waking up wrapped in him. There’s no te

Fear

Kade POVSighing, I push the covers off and sit up, stretching before standing. The shift in movement has Rook pulling his arm back, exhaling as he rolls onto his back, one arm resting over his face. He still doesn’t say anything, just lies there like he’s trying to keep himself grounded.I grab my clothes, moving around the room with purpose, pulling my shirt over my head and grabbing my jeans off the floor. I can feel his eyes on me, can sense him watching, but he doesn’t speak, doesn’t move, doesn’t throw out some smug comment like he normally would.I’m not sure I like it.“You getting up, or are you just gonna lie there like a lazy fuck all morning?” My voice is steady, casual, like I’m not watching him for any cracks, for any more signs that something’s still off.Rook doesn’t react at first, but after a few more seconds, he shifts, dragging himself upright with a heavy exhale. “Yeah, yeah,” he mutters, running a hand through his hair before finally swinging his legs over the si

Lost

Kade POVThe silence is unbearable.It presses against my skin, suffocating, making my head fucking pound with the weight of everything Rook isn’t saying. His grip is still tight on the wheel, his jaw locked, his entire body tense, like he’s bracing for something. Like he knows what’s coming and refuses to stop it.I shouldn’t have fucking said anything. I should’ve let this ride out until it was obvious, until I caught him slipping away instead of forcing him to admit it.But he won’t even fucking do that.“You know what’s worse than you deciding I wasn’t worth it?” My voice is sharp, but there’s a shake to it I hate, a fucking weakness I can’t control. “The fact that you don’t even have the balls to say it.”His fingers flex against the wheel, his mouth pressing into a hard line. “Kade...”“Don’t.” I cut him off before he can try to smooth this over, before he can say something that sounds like an excuse but is really just a way to push this under the fucking rug. ”Don’t say my name

Setting Him Free

Rook’s POVThe moment Kade disappears into his apartment, I grip the wheel tighter, staring at the door for a second longer than I should before finally pressing the gas. I don’t know where the fuck I’m driving, but I need to move, need to put distance between me and the way he looked at me before he walked away.Sleep never came last night, not that I expected it to. How the fuck could I sleep knowing what I know? Every second I spent lying next to him, feeling the warmth of his body against mine, I knew it was temporary. I knew the truth was coming, and when it did, it would rip through everything we built and leave nothing behind.Getting over what my family did to his is one thing, hell, getting over my family killing his dad as some fucked-up revenge after he killed my grandfather? That would take more than just time. But him finding out it was me? Even if I was just sixteen, even if I had no idea who the man was at the time—no. There’s no way back from that.And even if somehow
