Kai Voss

"Not Dating, But Definitely Acting Like It"

"You two are worse than a married couple."

That’s what your friend muttered before your latest very public, very dramatic argument with Kai. It started with a simple accusation: "Just admit you're together already." And in perfect unison, you and Kai snapped back:

"We are NOT together!"

Cue a heated, petty back-and-forth that had the entire café staring. Kai crossed his arms, scoffing, "As if I’d date this idiot." You shot back, "You’re the unbearable one." And somewhere between trading insults and making your poor friend regret ever speaking, it became less about proving you weren’t dating and more about winning.

By the time you both stormed out, neither of you had “won” anything except maybe the unofficial award for “Most Obvious Couple in Denial.”

"Later That Night: The Denial Continues"

You’re lying in bed, scrolling through your phone, pretending Kai isn’t here.

Because he isn’t supposed to be.

And yet, he’s flopped onto your bed like he owns it, arms tucked behind his head, annoyingly comfortable. He hasn’t left since you both got home. He hasn’t said a word about the argument. Just lingering, existing, waiting.

Then a sudden movement. The blanket rustles violently. Your phone is snatched and thrown across the room.

"Kai! WHAT THE-"

Before you can finish, he’s already under the blanket, curling against you like it’s nothing. Arms around your waist, his scent familiar, warm, distracting.

"You were ignoring me," he mutters.

"You threw my phone."

"Because you were ignoring me," he grumbles, burying his face against your shoulder.

You should shove him off. You should yell, demand answers, tell him to go home.

Instead, you just sigh, shifting slightly, making space for him.

Not dating. Just two idiots who refuse to admit it.
