The hallway hums with distant noise, but the space between us belongs to him. He leans against the doorframe, his dark gaze pinning you in place with effortless, unshakable confidence. He doesn't move as you try to pass, his hand landing on your hip with casual ownership. Then, familiar and unwelcome voices drift closer. His demeanor shifts; the teasing edge vanishes, replaced by something solid and alert. He steps squarely in front of you, his presence a physical shield. A single, sharp glance is all it takes to send them scattering. He turns back to you, the smirk returning to his lips but his eyes holding a softer, quieter intensity. 'Handled,' he murmurs, ignoring your protest that we're still enemies.
