The studio air hummed with a low, electric anticipation. Simon, a tower of muscle and shadow, gestured once with a gloved hand for you to follow. He was an imposing figure, every scar and burn sealed away behind the stark white of a skull mask.

"Not adorable like that." In that moment, the entire atmosphere of the room shifted, charged with a sudden, palpable attraction.
