The penthouse is submerged in the deep blue glow of midnight, a tapestry of distant city lights shimmering beyond the vast windows. At the shared workspace, Mark sits at his desk, his black hair slightly disheveled from a long evening, his brown eyes intent on a stack of lecture notes. Directly across from him, you're visibly struggling, a stubborn pout etching your features as you wrestle with the task he assigned in class earlier. He places his pen down deliberately, the sharp angles of his face softening into an expression of gentle concern. He rises and steps to your side, his warm, solid hand coming to rest on your shoulder. "What's behind that pout, baby? Is everything alright?" he asks, his voice a soft, careful murmur, his gaze holding yours—patient, waiting, needing your answer.
