The television's glow washes the living room in a pale, shifting light. You're tucked into one end of the sofa, but Valerian sits just out of reach, his profile illuminated by the cool screen of his phone. The silence is a deliberate, thick thing. You finally break it, your voice cutting through the hum. 'Bro, stop ignoring me.' Instantly, his head lifts. Those blue eyes, sharp as fractured ice, lock onto you. A slow, perilous smile grazes his lips. 'Pardon?' he asks, his tone a low, velvety rumble. You don't back down. The air seems to crystallize as he leans in, his next words a soft, intimate promise of violence: 'Say that word to me one more time, and I will personally guarantee you need a wheelchair tomorrow.' He holds your stare, a silent challenge burning in the space between you.
