there it was. that flicker.
the breath that caught. the fingers around the glass tightening like they remembered everything. rocco caught it all, drank it in like a man still parched after two weeks of drowning in him. kiha could try to act indifferent all he wanted, cool, poised, dangerous in that way only someone trying not to break could be, but rocco had already seen him undone. had felt it. had tasted it. he didn’t need confirmation. but fuck, that ‘maybe’ hit harder than any checkered flag ever had.
rocco tilted his head, eyes tracing the way kiha's tongue caught the last drops of liquor, unapologetically slow in his perusal. there was something cruel about the way he smiled then, lazy, knowing, like he’d just won a game that hadn’t even been played out loud yet. “ that’s new, ” he murmured, voice like low thunder, barely audible over the music. “ you admitting anything. even wrapped in a maybe. ”
his hand slid a little closer behind kiha’s chair, still not touching, but near enough to claim space. his whole presence a lean-in, a gravity shift, the kind of proximity that made breathing feel like cheating.
rocco didn’t look away. didn’t blink. he watched kiha like a man waiting for the answer to a prayer he hadn’t meant to whisper.
“ you know, i think about that night too. ” a pause, deceptively soft. “ nights, actually. plural. ”
and then he moved. just a little, leaning in, like he was about to say something wicked again, something sharp, something cruel … but instead, he stopped right before contact, letting his breath curl against kiha’s jaw like it had every right to be there. “ tell me something, pretty, ” rocco whispered, lips just a sigh away from skin, the scent of his cologne and whiskey heat between them. “ you come here tonight just to look this good … or were you hoping i’d ruin you all over again ? ”
rocco smiled then. not cocky. wicked. because honestly ? he’d missed him. every goddamn inch. and if kiha gave him even one more ‘maybe,’ rocco was already halfway gone.

the longer the silence carries on , the quicker his heart races . rocco's doing it on purpose , he's sure of it . if he had to guess , the other man was fishing for a reaction but kiha wouldn't give him the satisfaction — too stubborn to give into his games so soon .
that doesn't stop his breath from hitching at the proximity , fingers subtly tightening around the glass in hand as he's hit with the memory of the last time they were this close . closer . when lips collided , hands wandered desperately , and promises unkept were whispered against each other's skin .
kiha is so caught up in the memories that he nearly misses what rocco is saying . it takes wandering fingers to force him into the present .
his eyes meet rocco's then , briefly — but just long enough for the other man to recognize the hunger kiha was trying to mask with indifference . it was a look he'd given rocco before , back when they had nothing but time and freewill and the desire to ruin . it was a look he hadn't shared with anyone else because ruined , he was . no one else compared , not that kiha would ever let him know .
he casts his eyes downwards , taking a sip from the nearly forgotten glass before he's licking the remnants of alcohol from his lips . kiha pretends to ponder rocco's question , the corner of his mouth lifting as he meets the other's eyes again . ❛ maybe i did . ❜

rocco's been watching kiha like a man starved.
same curve of his lips, same goddamn eyes that made rocco forget whatever drink was in his hand, and for a second he wondered if this place had gotten hotter or if it was just the memory of skin against skin creeping back up his spine. no. he hadn’t hallucinated that night. or the dozen after it.
what was supposed to be a weekend of indulgence last year had become … two weeks of sin, of something dangerously close to obsession. rocco hadn't admitted that part to anyone. hadn't needed to. the silence after kiha left said enough, loud in his empty estate, louder still on the track when he couldn’t stop seeing flashes of him in the rearview.
he’d clocked kiha the moment he walked into the club, like gravity worked a little differently when he was in the room. even through the haze of lights and champagne and sweat in the air, the model stood out like a goddamn spotlight. and rocco simply couldn’t stop watching. couldn’t not look. every time kiha moved, rocco tracked it like a second heartbeat.
and now — kiha was beside him.
ordering drinks like they were just friends, like their mouths hadn’t learned each other by memory. rocco let a smirk curve his lips, head turning just slightly, slow like curling in the air, gaze dropping just once, to the model's lips, and back again. he didn't answer right away. let the silence stretch. let the tension between them say what both of them weren’t brave enough to touch just yet.
then, he leaned in. not too close. just close enough that kiha would feel the heat of him. maybe it was the alcohol. maybe it was the fact he hadn’t stopped dreaming about him. but rocco was past pretending.
lips ghosted just behind kiha’s ear, voice nothing but a whisper, almost touching skin. 🙶 season doesn’t start for another week. still got time to break a few rules. 🙷 he lingered there, didn’t move away. one hand on the counter, the other resting just behind kiha’s chair, fingers grazing the back like it was an accident. it wasn’t. then he finally leaned back just enough to meet kiha’s eyes again, smug in that effortless way that only rocco could wear.
🙶 nice to see you around, by the way, 🙷 thumb brushing the rim of his glass. casual again, like he hadn’t just whispered like a sin into his ear. 🙶 missed me ? 🙷 smirk widening just slightly, ❝ 'cause i did. ❞
and he meant that. fuck, he did.
date: april 18 , 2025 ! location: after party , l’éclipse club . featuring: kiha & rocco @badnews .

kiha would be lying if he said he hadn't been hyperaware of rocco's presence from the moment the driver walked into the pavilion earlier that night . and now — nearly three hours and an entirely new location later , he's still on high alert . he knows without looking that rocco is standing at the bar , sporting an expression that reminds him of the day they met — calm but with that ever present smirk he'd grown used to seeing during their two weeks together .
he's not sure if he's been spotted yet but when he chances a glance in the other man's direction and they locks eyes , the hairs on the back of his neck immediately stand up . it didn't make sense to kiha how rocco still had that affect on him . after all , they spent less than a month in each other's presence and though he still thinks about it at times , in very vivid detail , he never expected this . it was unlike kiha to ever be hung up on another person , especially not one he barely even knew .
an eyebrow raises in acknowledgment , his feet carrying him to the bar and the seat directly next to rocco . kiha rests his elbows on the counter and nods at the bartender , ordering them both a drink before turning around . through it all , he's careful not to let his body language give away how affected he really is . ❛ shouldn't you be at the start of a season right now ? ❜
