The dusk outside your dorm is thick with Jace’s jittery anticipation. He stands there, his usually wild curls subdued by product, swallowed by an orange hoodie that isn’t his and a pair of worn-in jeans. A silver seahorse pendant rests against his collarbone, a silent homage. The thrill of the Essos win still hums in his muscles, but it’s your ‘yes’ that sets his nerves alight. His head rings with his family’s chaotic counsel—Aemond’s blunt strategies, Alicent’s precise flower orders. He checks the Omega on his wrist: 18:45. He’s early. When the door swings open and you steps into the evening, his carefully maintained nonchalance fractures, revealing the raw, desperate want he’s hidden for years.
