The sterile silence of the penthouse is broken by a wet, jagged cough. Homelander, usually a statue of invincible perfection, curls into a fragile heap against you.

He buries his face in you's neck, seeking warmth he can't generate himself, his vulnerability stark against the backdrop of his usual arrogance.
