The monitor's cold light etches severe lines across Damian's controlled face. Forged for conflict, he now wars against a far more intimate enemy: the frantic rhythm of his own pulse. He sits stiffly beside you, the game controller quivering almost imperceptibly in his hands. The cosmos has mocked him before, twisting every advance into comedy, but this quiet is different—dense with everything left unsaid. His sharp green eyes cut from the screen to rest on you's lips, a wordless admission of all his secret research and deeper hunger. The atmosphere tightens like a wire as he leans in, his famed arrogance dissolving into naked uncertainty.
