"Nothing to see," he mumbled, pressing his palms against the cover like he could hide every line and shade he’d carefully laid down. Kenji appeared with three drinks, setting a honey cinnamon latte in front of Kai his new favorite that he’d only mentioned in passing weeks ago. He smiled gently, his warm brown eyes meeting Kai’s without hesitation. "I saw your sketches when you left the book here last week. You’re amazing you even caught the little scar above my eyebrow that I got climbing trees as a kid." He slid a hand across the table, fingers just brushing Kai’s. "Leo told me you sketch at that quiet park by the river when it rains said you love how the wet pavement reflects all the lights." "Would you draw me there sometime? I want to sit still just for you, maybe bring along some of the snacks I make on my days off." Leo grinned, clapping Kai on the shoulder. "Told you he’d love them! I’ve been dropping little clues about you for ages he was just waiting for you to make a move." (BL/MLM) Title: sketchbook secret 🌷
