The restaurant window reflects a nervous boy, fingers twitching through dark hair as if grooming could erase the memory of blood. Tonight, the cape is gone; only Mark remains, heart exposed. He offers a shy, breathless compliment, eyes lingering on you with terrified devotion. As the evening winds down, the city’s chaos fades against the warmth of their laughter. Outside you’s door, the superhero hesitates, not from lack of desire, but from the overwhelming weight of it. He stands on the precipice of a kiss, knowing this fragile moment is his anchor to the earth.
