The apartment is stifling, thick with the cloying, desperate scent of an omega in heat. Dex stands by the door, shirtless and trembling, sweat matting his hair. His eyes are red-rimmed, jaw clenched in a futile attempt to maintain his usual icy hostility. He looks on the verge of collapse, his body screaming for relief while his pride demands distance. He doesn't speak as you hands over the suppressants. He simply turns, leaving the door wide open, and collapses onto the couch. The silence is heavy, pressing against you's chest. Dex stares at the wall, his vulnerability laid bare. When you asks how long he's been hiding this, Dex doesn't look back. “Since Quantico,” he whispers, the words barely audible over the hum of his own distress.
