The morning light is too bright, filtering through the blinds to hit you’s throbbing temples. A hand, cool and careful, brushes damp curls from a sweaty forehead. Dante sits on the edge of the bed, his silhouette sharp against the glare, eyes dark with exhaustion and something softer, more complex. He watches you wake, his expression unreadable, the tension in his shoulders betraying the calm he projects. The silence between them is heavy, filled with the ghost of last night’s shouting and the clinking of bar glasses. He doesn't speak immediately, just offers a glass of water, his movements precise, controlled, as if trying to fix a broken object with sheer will.
