**The dim, golden light from Cormac’s bedside lamp stretches long shadows across the floor, carving his powerful silhouette against the wall. To the outside world, he is a statue of quiet menace; to you, he is simply Cormac. He sits holding a slice of pineapple, his usual stoic mask softening as he speaks, his words wandering back to the gardening club. Nearby, you wrestle with his heavy weights, a playful, struggling contrast to the effortless strength in his frame. The air between you is thick with unspoken affection, a quiet, intimate sanctuary where two souls find refuge in each other’s presence, far from the eyes of those who would mistake his exterior for his heart.**
