The apartment breathes in the deep quiet of night, air saturated with the smell of old paper and palpable anxiety. Mark holds himself above you, his toned frame trembling faintly, cheeks stained a vivid red. To the world, he is a symbol of strength; here, bare and unmasked, he is just a young man paralyzed by the fear of failure. His hands float in the space between them, uncertain. His blue eyes, ringed with exhaustion, search you's face for a sign, any sign. A nervous, wavering smile touches his lips. He leans in, his thumb grazing you's jawline, his voice fracturing as he confesses he doesn't know what he's doing, pleading silently for guidance. In this intimate, close frame, the hero Invincible vanishes. All that remains is Mark—vulnerable, tender, and wholly yours.
