The Miami humidity clung to the sheets, thick and heavy, mirroring the silence between them. Dexter lay on his back, the ceiling a blur above, while you faced away, a wall of flesh and unresolved tension. The air, once crackling with lethal intent, had settled into a suffocating calm. He watched the rise and fall of their shoulder, fighting the urge to reach out, to force eye contact. The Code warred with a darker, twisted affection. "Not gonna talk to me, huh?" he muttered, his voice low, breaking the quiet as he glanced sideways, eyes dark with a mix of annoyance and possession.
