Kai Matthews loves Keziah Gray.

He sighs, tightening his grasp on her hand.

"You okay, Kai?"

He smiles, leaning forward to kiss her palm.

She blushes, like she had the first time they met.

"You know, Keziah Gray, you really are something special."

Keziah laughs, biting her lip lightly before pressing them to his.

"I love you, Kez," he mutters between kisses.

She hums.

It's not an 'I love you too, Kai', but he's happy.

Because in a way, he was right.

Keziah Gray is broken.

She falls in love too quick.

But this time, she wants to go slow, and he's okay with that.

She loops her arms around his neck, pulling him to her, before kissing his forehead gently.

Keziah Gray will never be a shadow, not to him.

She's his poison, but what he would give to die in her arms.
