Summary
Then Aerion opened his eyes in the middle of the song, and it was as if something invisible pulled his attention directly toward Valarr, as if he felt it, as if he recognized his presence even in the middle of that chaotic crowd. Their violet eyes met instantly, and the world seemed to stop. Valarr felt his breath fail, his heart slamming so hard it hurt. For a second — just one second — Aerion looked surprised, shocked, as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. But then his expression changed; his jaw tightened slowly, his eyes became sharper, colder, more dangerous, and Valarr felt it cut through his chest like a knife, because Aerion wasn’t looking at him with love, nor longing, nor relief — he was looking at Valarr with rage, pure hatred. Even across the crowd, Valarr could see the way Aerion’s breathing shifted slightly, how his fingers tightened around the microphone, while the music continued and the crowd screamed, but in that moment it felt like only the two of them existed, and Valarr realized something devastating: Aerion truly believed he had been betrayed.
OR Valarr and Aerion have been in a secret relationship for years when Aerion wakes up to the news that Valarr is engaged.
