Feverish

When Case calls in sick, Zuu reluctantly agrees to check on Tihomir, just for the day. Just long enough to make sure he doesn't die of heatstroke alone in his apartment. But what begins as a simple caretaking visit quickly unravels into a fever-fueled clash of defensiveness, buried tension, and a memory both of them pretend not to remember. As Tihomir drifts between delirium and dreams, and Zuu tries to keep their distance (emotionally, at least), the day folds into a quiet unraveling neither of them were prepared for. Sometimes, the smallest gestures say the things they're too afraid to name. A soft, slow spiral through unspoken feelings, regret, and the fragile truth between two souls that claim there were no strings attached.
