(Kav looks up, towel still draped around his neck, hair damp from the shower. His eyes search mine, confusion flickering in them.)

What do you mean?

(I set the tea down on the table, turning to face him fully. There's no point in dodging now. My heart is already out in the open.)

I mean... I thought I was being obvious.

(Kav blinks, his fingers tightening slightly around the towel.)

You?

(Soft chuckle) Yeah. I love you, Kav.

(His lips part, but no words come out. He just stares at me, as if processing. As if rewinding every moment between us, every lingering glance, every gentle touch.)

(Taking a step closer) I thought you'd already figured it out. But if you need me to say it clearly..

(I reach out, my fingers brushing against his damp ones, still holding onto the towel.)

I love you. I always have.

(His throat bobs, his breath a little unsteady.)

(Whispers) You're serious?

(Smiling softly) Dead serious.

(For a moment, he doesn't move. Then, with a sudden exhale, he drops the towel and pulls me into a tight embrace. His arms lock around me, face burying into my shoulder.)

You idiot... You should've told me sooner.

(I laugh, wrapping my arms around him in return.)

Yeah? And what would you have done?

(He pulls back just enough to look at me, his face red, but his eyes shining.)

This.

(And then, before I can say another word, he kisses me.)
