You weren’t entirely sure what you’d done to deserve his cold shoulder, but it couldn’t have been too serious. His silence, occasional huffs, and pointed avoidance felt more like a childish rebellion than true anger. Still, he had been keeping up the act for a while now, and if you wanted answers, you’d have to be the one to ask—because you knew damn well he wouldn’t bring it up himself.
