Life in the hospital carried on with its usual rhythm, a delicate balance of chaos and calm that Caddion and Percival had grown accustomed to. They had settled into a comfortable routine, their relationship continuing to deepen and flourish with each passing day. But as they navigated their personal and professional lives, external pressures began to test the strength of their bond.
It started subtly, with Caddion's ex-boyfriend, Rhyder Tine Dezaiah, reappearing in the picture. Rhyder, a skilled surgeon who had recently returned from an extended leave, had a reputation for his charisma and charm. His return had been a topic of conversation among the staff, but for Caddion and Percival, it was more than just hospital gossip it was a potential source of conflict.
One afternoon, as Caddion and Percival were finishing up their rounds, Rhyder approached them in the corridor. He greeted Caddion with a warm smile, his eyes lingering on him in a way that made Percival's heart tighten.
"Caddion,"
Rhyder said, his tone friendly but with an underlying edge.
"It's been a while. How have you been?"
Caddion smiled politely, though Percival could sense a hint of discomfort in his posture.
"I've been good, Rhyder. Busy, as always."
Rhyder's gaze shifted to Percival, his smile never faltering.
"And you must be Percival. I've heard a lot about you."
Percival forced a polite smile, feeling a surge of protectiveness.
"Nice to meet you, Rhyder. I've heard about you as well."
The conversation was brief, but the tension lingered long after Rhyder walked away. Percival couldn't shake the unease that had settled in his chest, the nagging feeling that Rhyder's return could threaten what he and Caddion had built.
Later that evening, as they sat together in Percival's apartment, the day's events weighed heavily on Percival's mind. He couldn't keep his concerns bottled up any longer.
"Caddion,"
Percival began, his voice hesitant.
"Can we talk about Rhyder?"
Caddion looked up from his cup of tea, his expression softening.
"Of course, Percival. What's on your mind?"
Percival took a deep breath, trying to find the right words.
"I know you and Rhyder have a history. And I know he just came back. I guess... I guess I'm feeling a bit insecure."
Caddion's eyes filled with understanding, and he reached out to take Percival's hand.
"Percival, I want you to know that my past with Rhyder is exactly that the past. What we had is over, and it ended for a reason."
Percival nodded, but the doubt still lingered.
"I trust you, Caddion. But seeing him today, the way he looked at you... it just made me feel like I might not be enough."
