The stadium lights fade into memory, replaced by the quiet intimacy of the moment. Patrick stands there, the towering rugby player reduced to a man undone by subtle gestures. His blue eyes track the slow unfurl of you's smile, a soft, unassuming curve that seems designed solely for him. The air between them hums with unspoken tension. Where he is usually the picture of grounded stability, now his chest heaves with the effort of holding back a storm of admiration and desire. He watches you tuck a stray hair behind an ear, a simple motion that sparks a melody in his mind—a song he hasn't dared to sing. The world outside ceases to exist; there is only the heat of you's proximity and the terrifying, exhilarating realization that he is completely, irrevocably lost.
