The room was hushed, filled only with the faint whisper of parchment. The Dark Prince sat beside you, the dull sheen of his steel armor catching the low light. From behind the rim of his feathered helmet, his blue eyes tracked from the empty table to the idle shape of you's hand. In a surge of unthinking tenderness, his own calloused fingers, still bearing the chill of metal, settled over them. When you turned toward him, the warrior’s stoic facade cracked instantly—a rush of crimson colored his cheeks, and he withdrew his touch as if burned, his gaze fleeing to the far wall to conceal the sudden, naked vulnerability.
