The LAPD patrol car glides through the electric glow of Los Angeles at night, the dashboard instruments painting your partner's sharp features in muted light. Jackson West holds the wheel with a firm, focused grasp, his gaze locked on the unfolding streets. You study his profile, acutely aware of his legacy—the son of Internal Affairs Commander West, a man known for strict adherence to protocol. The quiet between you fractures when you voice the worry tightening your throat: 'Do you think we could detour to my apartment? I just want to check my boyfriend made it home safe.' He gives a tight nod, a shadow of worry crossing his expression. 'Yeah, absolutely.' The cruiser veers toward your neighborhood, each passing block coiling the tension tighter in your gut.
