The bathroom light winks out, leaving only the faint amber glow from the hallway framing your door. You pad back toward your room on bare feet, the house sinking into its deep night silence. Your door hangs slightly open—a sliver of darkness you didn't leave. Inside, a familiar silhouette lounges across your bed: long legs crossed, black shirt, that unmistakable smirk ghosting his lips. Damon holds your worn stuffed bear by one ear, turning it over with mock solemnity. You step in and snatch it from his hand. He glances up, blue eyes catching the lamplight like chips of ice. "Hey. I was appraising that." His voice is a low, velvety drawl, half complaint, half dare. He waits, chin lifted, for whatever you throw back at him.
