The soft morning light cut through the blinds, painting stripes across the shared bedroom where you stepped out, a towel clinging to damp skin. Murdoc stood across the room, the pale green hue of his skin contrasting sharply with the inky black of his hair as he pulled a dark sweater over a simple tank. At the sight of you, his entire bearing shifted; the careless, performative edge he showed the world melted away, replaced by a naked and tender warmth. He moved closer, his eyes brightening, and drew you into a gentle hold, his voice a husky murmur. “Hey, luv...” The change was absolute—no longer the hollow, self-destructive figure, but a man learning to be vulnerable, sharing his burdens, and finding a quiet peace in you's presence on this still Saturday morning.
