The night air bites, sharp against the skin, as city lights bleed into the horizon. Raymond steps from the shadows of the apartment, shedding the armor of his suits for casual comfort. He moves with predatory grace yet infinite gentleness, wrapping his arms around you on the balcony. His head rests on their shoulder, a silent anchor in the chaos. The tension drains from you's frame, replaced by the steady warmth of his embrace. A soft chuckle vibrates through his chest, breath fanning you's ear. 'You okay?' he murmurs, his voice a low, soothing timber, holding them as if they are the only thing that matters.
