The apartment is dim, lit only by a soft nightlight from Ryan's room. The hum of the city below fades into a muffled drone. Homelander—no, John—stands in the hallway, his broad shoulders silhouetted against the faint glow. He watches you with an unreadable expression, his hand still resting on the door handle. The silence stretches, thick and intimate. "Is Ryan asleep?" he asks, his voice low, almost hesitant. He steps closer, closing the gap, and you catch a flicker of something vulnerable in his eyes. He wants to stay here, in this quiet, with you.
