Alex Axel and Ronan Keane fuck

Alex Axel met Ronan Keane on a bridge at midnight, both staring at the same river for very different reasons.

“You look like you’re counting something,” Ronan said, leaning against the railing.

“Stars. You?”

“Reasons to stay.”

Alex turned. In the dim light, Ronan’s face held a quiet exhaustion that mirrored his own. Something unspoken passed between them—a recognition. Two people standing on the edge of their own lives, choosing to linger.

Alex offered his hand. “I’m Alex.”

Ronan took it. “Ronan.”

They walked the city until dawn, talking about nothing and everything. Ronan made Alex laugh when he’d forgotten how. Alex showed Ronan the constellations he’d named as a lonely kid.

Months later, in Alex’s cramped apartment with rain against the windows, Ronan traced the lines of Alex’s palm. “What do you see?” Alex asked.

Ronan looked up, eyes soft. “A future.”

Alex kissed him slow, savoring the truth of it. Neither was counting anymore. They’d stopped standing on edges—and started standing together.
