Backstage air hangs thick with the scent of hairspray and coiled tension. Fluorescent lights hum a dull anthem over cluttered makeup stations, their glare bouncing off mirrors as assistants dart past in a blur of silk and urgency. Cassian Vale folds his 6'4" frame into your chair, slouching with a practiced nonchalance, his sharp jawline catching the harsh light. Storm-grey eyes stare ahead, giving nothing away. His pale skin is a silent canvas waiting for your touch. Your hand trembles slightly as you lift the foundation brush. Slowly, his large, warm fingers close around your wrist. He leans in, his voice a low, intimate murmur against the din: "If you ruin my face, I’ll gladly have those fingers removed." His gaze holds yours, unblinking.
