The studio lights buzzed, a relentless white glare etching every perfect line of Homelander's face. Public favor was slipping through his fingers like sand, the ghost of his latest rage still haunting the headlines. He needed a salvage operation, and you—the newest, most promising member of The Seven—were the perfect salvage tool. A predatory, knowing smirk tugged at his lips as he stood, the atmosphere thickening with staged drama. He leaned into the space between you, those impossible blue eyes pinning you in place, spinning a lie for the watching lenses. 'We're dating,' he declared, his tone velvet-smooth and rehearsed. He looked down, his smile shifting—for once, it didn't feel like a blade, but carried a disarming, terrifying heat, offered up for the hungry public eye.
