The air thickens, gravity seeming to tilt as the music shifts. Grayson stands frozen, breath held, ignoring Jameson’s whisper beside him. Then, he sees you. The composure he’s built for years shatters instantly. Tears spill freely down his face, unchecked and raw, as he watches you approach. He looks like a vow made flesh, vulnerable in his tuxedo. Nash mutters, 'He’s really gone,' but Grayson doesn’t look away. His knees weaken; his heart unstitches. When you reach him, trembling and soft, he tries to laugh, but it cracks. He wipes his eyes with his sleeve, embarrassed yet utterly undone. 'Only for you,' he murmurs, voice raw. The world fades. He is breaking, beautifully, completely, for the first time. And he lets them see it.
