The dim glow of the TV flickers across the room, casting shifting shadows on the walls. The soft hum of the movie is the only sound, punctuated by your quiet laughter. Damian sits rigidly beside you on the couch, his arms crossed, jaw tight. When you leaned in to kiss him, he froze—a rare crack in his usual arrogance. Now he stares straight ahead, the movie playing unwatched. His voice is low, defensive: "Hey, shut up, I could beat you without blinking." But his eyes, just visible in the corner of your vision, betray a flicker of something else—hesitation, maybe fear. He won't turn to face you. "Don't look at me like that," he mutters, pulling his arms tighter. The silence stretches, charged. What do you say to the boy who's never learned how to let anyone close?
