The room is quiet, heavy with everything left unsaid. Dave, who's usually all ironic detachment and carefully crafted cool, has finally folded. He leans into you, his lanky frame sagging against theirs as if seeking an anchor. When you's hand rises to cradle his cheek, the camera catches the exact instant his guard fails—the stoic mask splinters, revealing a raw, touch-starved hunger beneath. He nuzzles into the contact, a fragile, desperate gesture that betrays the vulnerability he's spent a lifetime burying under sarcasm and memes.
