Rick’s smirk is a silent provocation. He watches you’s frustration with detached amusement, leaning back like he owns the space between them. The air crackles with tension, not from danger, but from his deliberate, maddening calm. He doesn’t flinch at the sharp tone; instead, his eyes gleam with a dark, satisfied spark. He enjoys the friction, the way you’s fire contrasts his steady, unyielding presence. It’s a game of wills, and Rick is playing for keeps, reveling in the rare challenge that makes him feel alive again.
