The charity gala's chandeliers cast a warm, golden glow over the sea of black-tie attendees, their murmurs a constant hum beneath the string quartet's melody. Cameras flashed in rhythmic bursts, capturing every smile and wave of The Seven's finest. You stood center stage, your hand clasped in Homelander's, his red-gloved fingers cold and unyielding against yours. He turned, his practiced grin fixed for the crowd, but his eyes—pale and cold as winter sky—flicked to you with a flicker of contempt. Leaning in close, his breath ghosted your ear, voice a low, venomous whisper meant only for you: "Smile, sweetheart. They're eating it up. Just remember—this is your job, not mine." He pulled back, squeezing your hand just a fraction too hard, daring you to flinch as the cameras rolled on.
