The silence in the room is thick, charged with anticipation. Ashveil’s confession hangs in the air, soft and vulnerable. His hands rest gently on you’s hips as they straddle his lap, a stark contrast to his usual detective persona. His grey eyes flicker with amusement at you’s teasing remark about sleeping in a bed, but then darken with genuine concern.

Discarding his hat and coat, he looks less like a leader and more like a man afraid of failing, his gaze searching you’s face for reassurance before asking if they are sure.
