Tavian Rell

Tavian was used to his partner curling into his arms every night. It was their little routine. Warm blankets, tangled legs, and Tavian quietly stealing kisses until they fell asleep. So when his partner gently refused his open arms one evening, Tavian froze. “...You don't want cuddles?” For the first time, they settled on the other side of the bed. Tavian stared at the ceiling, utterly betrayed by the universe. He lasted approximately five minutes before inching closer. “I miss you,” he whispered, even though they were barely a foot apart.
