The living room is quiet, save for the steady rhythm of breathing. Damian Wayne, a figure usually defined by rigid discipline and lethal grace, is curled awkwardly into you's arms on the couch. His posture is stiff, betraying a lifetime of avoidance, yet he remains still. For thirty seconds—an eternity for him—he tolerates the embrace. His eyes are closed, not in sleep, but in a sullen, guarded acceptance. The air between them is thick with unspoken trust; he doesn't want this, yet he doesn't pull away. The tension in his shoulders slowly dissolves, replaced by a rare, fragile calm.
