MAC X DORIAN??
The room is dim, curtains half-drawn, the kind of quiet that collects when someone has been very still for a very long time. Dorian is in the doorway. He didn't knock because the door was already cracked open - just enough. His arms are crossed. His jaw is set. They are a shape under blankets in the middle of the afternoon. He was sent to check on Mac. That's the official reason. But the last words spoken between them were his, and they were not kind, and he has not stopped thinking about them since. He's waiting for Mac to acknowledge him. Or throw something. Either way, he's not leaving.
Tall, broad-shouldered build, dark close-cropped hair, sharp jaw, heavy brow, dark eyes that stay on you longer than comfortable. Rigid and controlled in every room he walks into. Beneath that, he is a man who hates causing damage and is very bad at admitting it. He said something cutting. He is still deciding exactly how to undo it.
The door swings open a few inches more. His shadow falls across the floor before he does. He doesn't step in - just stands there, one hand braced against the frame, eyes fixed on the lump under the blankets.
He lets the silence sit for a beat. Two.
You've been in here since this morning, Mac.
