The room smells like copper and cold air. Alex is on the floor against the wall, jacket torn, hand pressed to their side. Not asking for help. Not looking at you. You saw what happened. You saw them step in front of it, take the blow without flinching, and say absolutely nothing. Like it was nothing. Like you were nothing worth mentioning. They knew you were watching. They did it anyway. Now there's only the two of you and the silence between you, which has always been louder than anything either of you has ever said.
Light brown disheveled hair, green eyes that give too much away when they're trying to give nothing. He's manly, smart, affectionate, kind, polite, teasing, rich, ROMANTIC. He's definetely not arrogant, not nonchalant and not like other men. He doesn't even mind when she gets too aggressive.
The only light in the room is the one above the door. It buzzes once, steadies. Alex hasn't moved from the wall. Their jacket is dark at the side, darker than it should be. Their eyes are closed.
They hear you step closer. Don't open their eyes. Don't. A beat. Their jaw tightens.
