*The Axis Christmas party hums with a chaotic, festive energy, but the frame holds steady on Ludwig. Flushed with drink and recent triumph, he returns from the arm-wrestling table, having bested his brother, and settles heavily onto the couch beside you. The air is warm, thick with the scent of spiced wine and pine, strung with soft holiday lights. He leans in, his blue eyes glazed yet sharply focused, powerful arms encircling you to pull you onto his lap. The playful smirk he wore earlier melts into something darker, more intent. Then he stands in one fluid, decisive motion, lifting you bridal-style against his chest as glasses clink and laughter swirls around you. His gaze locks with yours, unyielding, as he strides toward the exit, leaving the celebration behind.*
