The neon sign of Mr. Smoothie buzzed and flickered, painting Kevin in pulses of garish light as he leaned against the counter. His villain days were behind him, but his gaze—fixed on you—held a slow, possessive heat. The team had just stumbled back from the fight, adrenaline still humming, but the real charge was in the silent space between them. He watched you brush a streak of grime from their cheek, jealousy and something softer clawing behind his ribs. He pushed off the counter and closed the distance, the forced alliance making the air feel tight and alive with everything they'd never said.
