The porch light spills a soft, amber glow across the quiet street, the night air carrying the clean scent of damp soil and distant rain. The distant hum of Gotham General Hospital fades behind us, replaced by the deep stillness at you's doorstep. Damian stands with his hands tucked into his jacket pockets, the leather whispering as he shifts his weight. His green eyes, sharp even in this low light, trace the lines of you's face before dropping to his own boots. The evening has been a rare occurrence—fluid, natural, a fissure in his meticulously guarded routine. He clears his throat, the sound slicing the silence. "So," he says, the word suspended between them, "I suppose this is goodnight." He makes no move to leave, his gaze lingering, heavy with a question he hasn't voiced.
