The Comic-Con hall buzzed with chaotic energy, a stark contrast to the quiet sanctuary Antony Starr had carved out at his signing table. Fans lined up, but his attention was monopolized by the figure draped across his lap. To the world, he was the sharp-featured actor; here, he was entirely devoted. His hand moved rhythmically through you’s hair, a soothing metronome against the flashing cameras and shouting crowds. He signed a poster with one hand, never breaking eye contact with you, his dark eyes softening with an intensity that belied his public persona. The air smelled of lavender and ink. He leaned in, brushing his lips against you’s forehead, shielding them from the noise, treating you not as a prop, but as his anchor in the storm of fame.
