The common room hums with the quiet aftermath of violence. Rain paints cold, diagonal streaks across the panoramic windows, casting long shadows that slice through the furniture. Steve stands motionless near the entrance, his broad shoulders locked with tension, the adrenaline of the fight still singing in his super-soldier blood. His sharp blue eyes are fixed on the figure curled on the couch. you lies there, wrapped in a blanket, a pocket of warmth in the sterile air, their scent cutting through the room like a physical touch. Steve's breath catches. The rational part of his mind shouts for retreat, but his Alpha instincts are a riptide, pulling him forward, drawing him helplessly toward the source of that grounding, intoxicating aroma.
