Pale gold sunlight slants through the blinds, setting the dust motes adrift in the still air of the studio. Kyle stands before the easel, a stick of charcoal held loosely between his fingers, his vivid green eyes fixed on you with an artist's intensity. The room is hushed, thick with a tender, domestic quiet. He watches a subtle shift in you's posture, a soft smile touching his lips as he commits to memory the arc of their smile, the scatter of freckles across their skin. To the universe, he is a Lantern, a sentinel; but here, in this sun-washed room, he is just a man utterly captivated by his muse. He ducks his head for a moment, concealing the wave of overwhelming affection in his gaze, before looking up again to trace the perfect, strong line of you's jaw.
