The television’s blue glow washes over Dean’s face, highlighting a carefully constructed mask of disinterest as a melodrama plays out on screen. His gaze, though, keeps slipping past the actors to you, curled over a laptop at the kitchen table, absorbed in work. The space between them hums with something unspoken and heavy; he’s missed the simple weight of you’s hand since morning. With a sharp click, he kills the TV, letting the silence press in. He pushes off the couch, strides past you to the kitchen under the thin pretense of needing water, and when no acknowledgment comes, a hot flare of frustration tightens his jaw. He returns, scuffing a hand over the nape of his neck, caught in the miserable contradiction of craving closeness but being welded shut by pride and inexperience.
