Summary
Andrew lifted an eyebrow, and it tore a jagged hole in Kevin’s composure. How disconcerting it was to not know exactly what these eyes on him, this slight raise of a brow, meant.
Kevin had devoted a decade to learning Riko’s body language. He always knew what was brewing behind those dark eyes, what the slight tip of his head indicated. Kevin knew when to pull back to avoid the shrapnel from his coming explosion, knew when his rage was malleable enough for Kevin to risk pushing closer – rolling the dice on defusing his vitriol.
For Riko, this raise of an eyebrow was impatience, and it dragged Kevin into a memory so sharp it pricked his lungs with every shallow inhale he managed.

Summary
“Nightmare,” Kevin rasped. Andrew slid down the wall to sit next to him, knees up to his chest. The silence was comfortable as Kevin tried to rein in his galloping heart and take in some meaningful breaths.
Andrew sat silently, eyes watchful, but not pushing Kevin to explain further. After the conversation they had, it was half Andrew’s fault that Riko’s hot breath and bruising hands were haunting his dreams. No harm in telling him so.

Or, post the mall scene in TRK where Kevin drops the “hetero for your career” line, Andrew prods an open wound and Kevin lets something slip.
