After working late into the night, Axel and Jayvaughn managed only a few hours of sleep before waking up early for practice. Despite the exhaustion tugging at their limbs, they showed up at the practice room on time, synchronized in movement and matching in energy. It was almost second nature for them now.
When practice ended, Jayvaughn dried his face with a towel and turned to Axel. "I have to go somewhere," he said casually, but with a hint of importance in his tone. "I'm meeting a friend. I'll be back as soon as I can."
Axel nodded, giving a small smile. "Okay. Go. I'll wait for you."
Jayvaughn leaned in and brushed a soft kiss against Axel's temple before walking off, unaware that Axel had very different plans.
