I can't stop thinking about Caleb going to the gym with Zayne once, because their schedules are too busy. This way, they can hang out without having to miss one of their workout sessions. Two birds, one stone.

But it quickly becomes a habit because once Caleb realises that it means that he gets to see Zayne panting, sweating, grunting and in tight sports clothes several times a week. He's addicted. He can't stop.

It has become borderline dangerous. Caleb can barely concentrate on his own workout when all he can see and think about is Zayne's glistening skin, working muscles, and bulging veins. Or how the way Zayne whispers encouraging words when he is spotting him turns him on because it low-key sounds like sex talk.

As he lies in the tall grass of a flower field, he stares at Zayne between the green swaying in the wind. Zayne, who had been bathing in the pond, was now sitting on its bank appreciating the coolness of the wind as it slowly dried his damp skin.

It's another hot day, but the heat was hitting Sylus differently that day. He could feel it under his skin, making him a little restless. Like a crackling fire into the coldness of the night.

Oh, does he envy the sunlight kissing Zayne's skin, the wind caressing him and the water lapping at him. What he would do to be the one responsible for the bliss they bring him.

Sometimes, he's struck silent by how ethereal he looks. It's unworldly. No painting could ever capture his beauty. Pale skin just waiting to be marked by love. Lips asking to be kissed. Hands made to be held. Features that should be cherished. A body demanding worship. A heart that is to be treasured. A mind he can't help but fall in love with. Dressed in nothing. Komorebi on his skin. He's starving for Zayne in every way possible.

Zayne calls for him and the moment Sylus hears his lovely voice, the heat in his stomach blooms. Delight rushes in his veins. He opens like a flower in the sun. His wings spread in profound excitement. A word writes itself inside his brain. Devotion.

It is hot and humid as they walk into their hotel room. The type of weather that's heavy and leaves your skin clammy. It's late into the night and Sylus opens the window to let some cool air in.

Zayne sprawls himself on the armchair, too tired from their day to care about posture. The tiredness leaves him lax and pliant. He shrugs off his jacket and opens 4 buttons of his shirt. The sweat makes it cling to his skin.

Illuminated by nothing but the moonlight, it all feels so intimate and loving. Sylus hasn't been able to calm his heart all day. It's beating hard and fast in his chest, taken by his love for Zayne. He is enamoured by his every word and move. On this night, Sylus knows for a fact that they'll never part. That their love will last beyond this lifetime. He never wants the night to end.

"I want to drink wine off your body," Sylus says sweetly, lazily but giddy.

"Why?" Zayne asks, confused but nevertheless amused.

"Because I love wine. I love your skin. And I love you," he says openly.

"It ought to be messy,"

"I can buy as many new sheets as I want. I want to know the taste of your skin mixed with the best wine. Is that a crime?"

"Wouldn't be the first one you commit," Zayne jokes and Sylus smiles. "But not here, not now. Let's not make the work of the cleaning staff any harder," Zayne continues, ever so responsible and proper.

"Fine. Shall I drink wine from your mouth instead?" he asks, positively starving for the taste of Zayne on his tongue.

"What's with you and improperly consuming wine today?" he asks with a smile, always amused by Sylus' antics.

"I need you, crave you, always," Sylus says.

"And you have me. Always have and always will," Zayne answers and Sylus' chest hurts with adoration.

What the fuck, Caleb??? How are you still alive??? Also, whose idea was it to have him casually bring up something so fucked up all of a sudden??? I was so not ready for the angst!

[the-dormant-ocean]

AU where Zayne is a Farspace doctor for whom Caleb slowly falls for, as he's his first positive experience with a doctor. Zayne is the first and only one who fusses over him and treats him like an actual human being. He doesn't see him as a weapon or as someone who's unbreakable. He worries about him and his physical and psychological well-being. He also encourages him to not bear the weight of all his problems alone.

Caleb, who is so used to being seen as a tool or as infallible, finally feels seen and cared for. He goes to Zayne at any given opportunity. The moment he gets a paper cut, he's on his way to Zayne because he's injured and needs medical help :(.

One day, when he is left physically and emotionally broken after an EVER experiment, he shows up at Zayne's. He's desperate for some comfort or help and Zayne is the only one Caleb sees as safe. The pain isn't subsiding, and he just wants a little relief from the pain. He stays at his place after Zayne puts him on sick leave, during which he treats and takes care of Caleb.
