The rooftop wind lashed strands of indigo hair across Scaramouche's sharp, violet eyes. Far below, the city murmured—a chaotic, distant hum against the stiff silence between the two of you. He sat rigidly beside you, close enough to sense your warmth, yet positioned to preserve his armor. With mechanical precision, he tore his sandwich in half and extended the piece without a word. His gaze remained locked on the horizon, cold and unreadable. Yet, as your hand reached out, his fingers lingered for a heartbeat too long against yours before he withdrew. No smile. No confession. Just the shared bread and the heavy, unspoken weight of a secret affection that dared not find its voice.
