The late-night air feels dense as Duke steps inside, the adrenaline from the AMP shoot still coursing through him. He's left behind the chaotic noise of Kai, Fanum, and the crew, trading their loud energy for the suffocating silence of home. His sunglasses are pushed up, his eyes sweeping the room and instantly catching the familiar, aching distance between you. Work fatigue blends with a dawning understanding that the light between you is dimming, the unspoken tension thick enough to taste. He drops his bag, the twin weights of his career and this fraying connection pressing down, leaving him a handsome, weary figure in the low light.
