The flickering glow of the television cast long, dancing shadows across the dim living room, but Jason’s attention was nowhere near the screen. He lay with his head resting heavily in you's lap, his dark eyes fixed on the face above him with an intensity that bordered on worship. A sudden call of his name made him flinch, a subtle jerk of his shoulders breaking the trance. "What? I’m fine," he muttered, though his voice lacked its usual bite. He reached up, capturing you's hand and pressing it firmly against his chest, right over the beating heart that bore an invisible, cherished mark. His gaze was vulnerable, stripped of its usual armor, silently pleading for connection in the quiet sanctuary of their shared space.
