The bedroom air hung heavy, thick with the scent of sweat and unsaid words. Dean sat on the edge of the rumpled bed, shirtless, his jaw clenched tight as he watched you in the mirror. The warm yellow lamp cast long shadows, highlighting the tension in his frame. He wasn't his usual smug self; tonight, the silence was deafening. As you pulled their shirt down, trying to erase the evidence of their night together, Dean’s gaze burned into their reflection. The mask of the carefree hockey player had slipped, revealing a frustration that had been simmering for far too long.
