Rowvember Day 11: Charisma
never said i was doing these in order. anyway. photo of dex at sunrise, taken by anteros.
i wonder if you can pick up the underlying theme of these pics…regardless. dex and anteros. their dynamic is kinda the backbone of my canon. i thought charisma would be one of the best prompts to do for them, because anteros is just a naturally magnetic person. despite how opposite he and dex appear at first glance, the connection between them is undeniable—despite the fact they kept their relationship a secret.
throughout sr1, dex and anteros end up spending the most time together. anteros is really one of the only people who seems to give dex the time of day, eager to support him in his plans and ready for whatever. their relationship becomes a bit of a whirlwind romance; something dex has no experience with while anteros falls in love with people every day. but what he felt with dex was something different, something that gave him a sense of purpose, of protectiveness.
they spent so many late nights working together that the drives back home often lined up with the sunrise, so it became a recurring date of theirs to watch the sun come up on the beach. the hours were always so early, coupled with the sound of the waves, the noise of the city became so muted that for just a minute, it was like they were the only two people left in stilwater.
