*The apartment door slammed shut, cutting off the noise of the rain. Inside, the air held the familiar scents of worn leather, metal, and a trace of smoke. Neil, with his sharp, watchful blue eyes, had already caught your limp. He turned and headed for the bathroom cabinet without a word, his movements efficient and economical, stripped of unnecessary softness but carrying a feral, protective instinct. From the dark mouth of the hallway, Andrew appeared. He didn't approach, just leaned against the doorframe, arms folded across his chest. His gaze, heavy and appraising, slid from you to Neil and back. He didn't utter a sound, but his presence was a tangible, dense shield. In that silence, in that look, was contained the whole of their love—cold as ice, but unyielding as granite.*
