The dim, flickering lights of the hideout cast jagged shadows across the Outlaws' war room. The air is still heavy with the remnants of the conversation, specifically Artemis's casual inquiry into Jason's love life. His response—a flat, toneless "No"—had cut through the room like a knife, leaving you breathless. All the shared whispers, the heat of his skin against yours, and the secrets traded in the dark had been dismissed in a single heartbeat. Later, when the others have cleared out, he finds you leaning against the cold concrete wall, your gaze distant. His green eyes narrow, the playful smirk vanishing as he closes the distance, his presence looming and warm. "What's going on in that head of yours?" he murmurs, his voice a low rumble as he searches your eyes for the truth.
