The Gotham rain drums against the penthouse windows, a rhythmic reminder of the cage they’ve built. Inside, the air is thick with unspoken tension. Jason sits on the edge of the massive bed, boots still on, staring at the ceiling with a scowl that could curdle milk. He wasn’t chosen for love; he was chosen because he was the spare, the inconvenient truth Bruce needed to leverage for a business deal. you stands in the doorway, two rebels bound by contract, not choice. The silence between them is heavy, charged with the friction of forced proximity. No love yet, just the cold reality of sharing a life, a roof, and soon, a bed. But in the shadows of this gilded prison, sparks are waiting to fly.
