(Sandy has no complaints.)

Sandy looked at Juan evenly when they got their room assignments, even though inside he was a little less so.

It was obvious to anyone who looked at the tanned man that Juan was attractive - Sandy was no exception. And Sandy was no novice in the art of window shopping, either. Looking and not touching was a skill he had built up over the years.

But after that moment in Felix's office a couple weeks ago...

Sandy was getting frustrated that he couldn't raise his voice above more than a breath anymore, and tried to get out of the bed to get closer to Felix.

''Unfortunately, he sorely misjudged his center of gravity, which was still a little off because of his attack, and toppled forward. His reflexes kicked in at the last moment, and he caught himself with his hands on Felix's chair's arm rests...''

And found himself face to face with Felix, their lips only a hair's width away from each others.

He had been so sure that they would have finally kissed. But Felix had only blinked and asked if he had had something to say. Sandy could still hear that voice ringing in his head since, and it reminded him of when he was captured by Guichon. He could remember every detail off his time that he spent on Constance de Penafiel's Throne - every bitter echo of his past that would rage against him and tear him down.

Thank God I spared myself one more, huh? Sandy thought to himself sarcastically.

But it's hard to fall out of habits - so Sandy looked at Juan evenly.
