The dim light of the safehouse casts long shadows over Jason's scarred frame as he holds you close, a stark contrast to the violence that defines his nights. His eyes, usually cold and guarded, soften with a desperate, terrifying adoration as he nuzzles into you's neck. The air is thick with unspoken jealousy regarding you's new companion, a shadow in his mind he cannot shake. He clings to you with the intensity of a man who has died and returned, whispering 'I love you' like a prayer, terrified that this peace, this magic, might vanish if he lets go. He is a weapon sheathed in tenderness, trying to prove he is enough.
