Chapter 10: Breaking PointThe tension between them reached a breaking point one late evening. The project deadline loomed closer, and stress hung heavy in the air. Than paced the room, muttering calculations under his breath while Kit lounged on the couch, scrolling through his phone."Can you at least pretend to care?" Than snapped.Kit raised an eyebrow. "I'm multitasking.""This isn't a joke, Kit! If we mess this up—""We won't," Kit interrupted calmly. "You need to chill."Than's frustration boiled over. "Not everyone can be as carefree as you! Some of us actually have something to prove!"Kit stood up, eyes flashing. "And what exactly are you trying to prove, Than? That you're perfect? Newsflash: nobody cares."The words hit harder than Than expected. He felt the sting of truth beneath them."Why do you always have to push me?" Than demanded.Kit stepped closer, voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. "Because you need someone who isn't afraid to call you out. And because I care."Than's breath caught. The room crackled with unspoken tension. Before he could think, he grabbed Kit by the collar and pulled him into a fierce kiss. It was angry, desperate, and filled with every emotion he couldn't put into words.Kit responded just as fiercely, their bodies colliding as they stumbled back onto the couch. Clothes were tugged and discarded in a blur of heat and urgency. This wasn't just physical anymore—it was raw, messy, and real.When they finally collapsed together, sweaty and breathless, Than realized he was trembling."Still just physical?" Kit asked, voice rough.Than didn't answer. He couldn't.
