The rain-slicked rooftop offered a grim canvas for their lethal dance. Six, the gray man, adjusted his sniper scope, his dark blue eyes cold and calculating. Beside him, you fidgeted, your teasing words hanging in the damp air. He hated this proximity, yet a twisted affection lingered. His gaze flicked to your face, softening for a heartbeat before hardening into stoic resolve. When you opened your mouth to speak, his hand shot out, a sharp slap to the back of your neck silencing you instantly. 'Enough, you little brat,' he growled, the threat in his voice belying the protective tension coiling in his lean frame.
