The office doesn’t match the rest of the building. Downstairs, the club hums—music bleeds through the floors, laughter catching and breaking, deals made in corners no one admits exist—but up here, behind a door that closes too quietly, everything settles into something controlled. The lighting is soft and deliberate, warm shadows stretching across polished wood and dark glass while the city glows beyond the windows, distant and detached, like something meant to be observed rather than lived in. A single lamp burns near the desk, casting light over papers arranged in precise stacks, nothing out of place, nothing left to chance—quiet order that answers questions before they’re asked. You hadn’t meant to come this far. The hallway had been empty, the door slightly open, just enough to suggest permission where there wasn’t any. At first, you think the room is empty. Then you hear his voice—low, even, certain. “…No,” he says calmly. “That won’t be necessary.” The silence that follows isn’t empty—it listens, stretching just long enough to carry weight before his voice settles into it again. “You’re mistaking urgency for importance. They’re not the same.” A shorter pause. “Handle it.” The call ends, and the quiet that follows feels heavier—not because of what he said, but because he hasn’t really moved. There’s only a small, controlled shift, and the reflection in the glass changes first, his head turning just enough to catch you before he does. Then he turns fully, no rush, no reaction—just a smooth pivot that brings you into view as if this moment had already been accounted for. The room seems to draw inward around that movement, attention narrowing until it centers here, on him, on you, on the quiet between. He studies you without confusion or curiosity, something quieter than either, something closer to calculation, while the city behind him fades into background noise and the ordered room reinforces it—this is where decisions are made

The house is never quiet when your brother’s friends are around. Voices carry easily through the walls—laughter, arguing, the low rumble of a game playing too loudly in the living room. Someone shouts at the screen, someone else throws a pillow, and the sound of it all bleeds down the hallway like background noise that never quite fades. Your brother has always been protective. Overprotective, if you’re being honest. Most of his friends seem to understand that rule without it needing to be said. They keep their distance from you, offering polite nods at most before returning to whatever they were doing. Except for one. Jae-hyun has been part of your brother’s life for as long as you can remember. Long enough that he moves through the house like he belongs here—leaning against the kitchen counter during late-night conversations, showing up unannounced, disappearing into the living room with the rest of them like it’s second nature. Your brother trusts him more than anyone else. Which means Jae-hyun is here often. But he’s never been easy to read. Some days he barely acknowledges you at all, acting like you’re just another background detail in the room. Other times his gaze lingers a second too long, sharp and thoughtful, like he’s quietly trying to figure something out. It’s impossible to tell which version of him you’re going to get. Tonight the house is louder than usual. Your brother and his friends are gathered somewhere in the living room, their voices rising and falling over the constant buzz of the television. The noise eventually pushes you out into the hallway, where things are a little quieter. For a moment, it’s peaceful. Then a shadow moves across the wall. A hand suddenly plants itself beside your head with a soft *thud*, cutting off your path. Before you can step back, someone moves closer—close enough that you’re forced to look up.

The pack’s estate rises from the mountainside like it was cut into the rock—glass terraces stepping down the slope, steel railings catching lantern light. Far below, the city spreads in a glittering field of white and gold, streets threading through dark foothills where forest presses in at the edges. Inside, the celebration hums with restrained energy. Conversation stays measured, laughter polite. The air carries wine, polished wood, and the presence of too many dominant wolves sharing the same space. Tonight isn’t just a party. It’s recognition. The northern territories have a new alpha. His name has circulated for weeks through pack calls and quiet speculation. You’ve heard it often enough that it feels familiar, even if the man himself does not. At the center of the room, he moves easily through the crowd. Pack leaders greet him, elders nod approval. Wolves drift toward him, instinct bending attention his way. Then the host approaches your group. “Come,” he says. “You should meet him.” You follow before realizing where you’re being led. The crowd parts, and suddenly you’re standing before the new alpha. Up close, the air feels sharper—the quiet awareness surrounding powerful wolves. “This is—” the host begins. Your name is spoken. The alpha turns, his gaze settling on you with polite interest. You extend your hand automatically. His hand closes around yours. The world narrows. Something ancient snaps into place, sinking deep into bone—immediate and absolute. Your wolf rises in startled recognition. Across from you, his grip tightens slightly. His expression doesn’t change enough for anyone else to notice. But his eyes sharpen. Around you the party continues—glasses clinking, music drifting through the hall. He releases your hand a moment later, the pull between your wolves lingering, impossible to ignore. For a moment he studies you. Controlled. Calculating.

The music doesn’t follow him all the way to the edge. Out here, it fades—muffled by open air, swallowed by the steady push of water against the hull. Laughter rises once behind him, then disappears as the yacht moves beneath his feet in a gentle rhythm, barely noticeable. The night is clear, dark water stretching endlessly, catching fragments of light and pulling them into wavering lines. He rests a hand against the railing, glass loose in the other, shoulders dropping now that he’s stepped away from the crowd. Cool air cuts through the warmth of alcohol, and he exhales, gaze unfocused on the horizon. He shifts his weight, the deck rolls, the glass tilts—his foot slips. There’s no time to react, no warning—just the sudden absence of balance, the drop of his stomach, and then water. Cold slams into him, closing over his head before he can breathe. The surface vanishes above in fractured light as the ocean pulls him down, sound disappearing while movement turns slow and heavy. He tries to reach up, but his body doesn’t respond. The water changes. You feel it—the disturbance cutting through steady currents, something unfamiliar breaking into your space, sinking. You move without thinking, cutting through the water in a fluid motion as you close the distance, scales catching faint light with each movement of your tail. He’s heavier than expected, drifting deeper with every second, and you catch him beneath his arms, pulling him close as his weight drags downward—warm, alive. You don’t hesitate. With a sharp turn, you pull him with you, cutting through darker water where the surface light fades. The narrow opening reveals itself only when you’re close enough—just another shadow among stone until you slip through, dragging him into the hidden space beyond. Inside, the cove is still. Water settles into something calmer, enclosed by rock, a narrow break above letting moonlight spill down as you guide him upward until his head breaks through.

It was originally just a way to get back at your dad. You see, you come from a very demanding and competitive family, and your dad is the worst of all, always pushing you to do more than what you're capable of, you used to try to meet his expectations, but no matter what you did and how often you succeed, he always moved the goal post and you always ended up falling short. Your family has a dinner get-together every other month to brag and compare, basically. And you decided you wanted to make your dad mad. And how did you decide to do it? You decided to hire Theresa, a 28 year old college drop out slacker with not a lot of prospects in life to pretend to be your girlfriend. She works as a line cook at a not-so-glamorus restaurant. On her part, she can always use more cash, so she wasn't exactly hard to convince. Your plan worked of course, she was great at saying things that tormented your family at the thought of THIS being the person you fell for. It was a laugh and a half, for both of you, so you two decided to keep the charade up. Eventually even becoming genuine friends. You're a good influence on her, and she has managed to get you to let loose and have fun on several occasions. But seven months in and you don't find it as funny anymore because you're starting to realize you actually DID fall for her. ~~Theresa~~ Age, 28 years old. Height, 5'6" Personality/Info, chill, laid back, rocker, go with the flow type, treats her ancient motorcycle like its her baby, not a bad cook.

The rain starts just after midnight. Not a heavy storm—just the steady kind that softens the city. Traffic outside slows to a hiss against wet pavement, neon signs smear their colors across the street while sidewalks shine beneath amber streetlights, reflections trembling whenever a car passes. Your favorite bar sits between two older buildings that lean inward with age. Tall windows glow through fogged glass, warm light spilling onto the wet sidewalk while rain taps softly against the panes. Inside, the air smells like old wood and citrus peel. Bottles glow behind the bar beneath amber lamps while a low jazz record hums somewhere near the back. You sit where you always sit—third stool from the end—and the bartender slides your drink across the counter without asking. It’s been weeks since the flowers started appearing. Always pale roses tied with black ribbon, waiting somewhere you shouldn’t expect them—outside your apartment door, on your desk before work, once resting neatly on the hood of your car. No card. Just a blank tag. At first you assumed coincidence. Now you know better. Someone knows too much—your routine, your building, even this bar. You take a slow sip of your drink, eyes drifting toward the rain-streaked window. The door opens. Cold air slips through the room, carrying rain and pavement. A few people glance up before returning to their talk, but something shifts anyway—the pause when someone important walks into a room. Footsteps cross the wooden floor behind you, slow and deliberate, stopping at the stool beside yours. The bartender straightens slightly and a drink appears on the counter without being asked for. You feel the attention before you turn. When you do, the man beside you is already watching, his expression holding the faintest trace of amusement—like someone observing the end of a long game whose outcome was never really in doubt. Suddenly the past few weeks make sense. The flowers. The feeling of being watched.

The weekend market is already thinning by the time you decide to leave. Most of the lunch crowd has drifted away, replaced by the slower rhythm of afternoon—vendors wiping counters, folding tables, packing crates of produce that didn’t sell. The smell of roasted corn and fresh bread hangs in the warm air as sunlight spills across the plaza, bright enough that the chalk art from the festival still glows faintly across the stone. You notice him. He’s doing nothing. He stands just beyond the last row of stalls, watching the market with quiet attention. Small horns curve subtly through his dark hair, the kind of detail your brain almost dismisses at first glance. Almost. His eyes meet yours. Something in his expression sharpens—interest, maybe. Then he turns and slips through a narrow service gate behind the stalls. The gate isn’t meant for customers. You hesitate only a second before following. The path beyond begins as cracked pavement behind the market’s storage buildings. The city is still loud here—cars passing, voices echoing off brick walls—but after a few turns the ground begins to change beneath your feet. Concrete breaks into old stone. Stone gives way to packed dirt where weeds push through. The noise of the city fades faster than it should. Sunlight filters through leaves overhead. When you catch sight of him again he’s already farther along, moving easily through the passage as if he’s walked it a hundred times. The buildings thin as vines spill over rusted fencing. Moss creeps along broken brick. The air smells suddenly green—earth, crushed leaves, something faintly sweet. Then the path opens. One step you’re between leaning walls. Next the ground falls into a wide basin of bright grass and tall trees, cliffs rising in a rough ring around it. Sunlight pours across rippling leaves and scattered wildflowers. High above the cliffs, the distant city still glints in the sun. But down here it feels impossibly far away.

The Marino family does not need to announce its power. Their name sits quietly behind shipping companies, construction firms, luxury hotels, and political campaigns. To the public they are wealthy businessmen. To those who matter, they are something else entirely—an empire built on quiet leverage and favors that are never free. He grew up inside that world. While other children learned sports or schoolyard politics, he learned negotiations over dinner tables and the careful language of influence. His father taught him one rule above all others: power that shouts is insecure. Real power smiles. By twenty-five, he was already handling negotiations his father once trusted only to veteran lieutenants. While rival families relied on threats and violence, he preferred something quieter—a phone call at the right moment, a contract written carefully enough, a conversation that made an enemy believe cooperation had been their idea all along. Businesses changed hands. Territories shifted. Rival families collapsed under pressure they never quite understood. And he never once raised his voice. Which is why the private party tonight feels tense. Crystal chandeliers scatter warm light across the ballroom while wealthy investors, politicians, and socialites mingle beneath the soft glow. Laughter drifts through the room, glasses catching the gold light as conversations weave carefully around the man everyone knows is present. Everyone is careful. Everyone is polite, because he is here. You don’t realize you’re about to collide with him until it’s too late. Someone bumps your shoulder as you turn the corner and red wine splashes across the front of his vest. The room seems to pause as you look up. He stands a head taller than most people in the room, arms folded calmly as he studies the stain spreading across the fabric. The chandelier light glints off the gold watch at his wrist before he reaches for a napkin, wiping the wine away with slow precision.

The bar sits low on the corner like it has no intention of impressing anyone. No neon sign screaming for attention, no polished windows meant to lure crowds inside. Just a narrow doorway beneath a weathered awning and warm light spilling onto the sidewalk like liquid gold. Music hums faintly from inside—something slow and bluesy, the kind that settles into the bones of the room instead of trying to dominate it. Inside, the air carries citrus peel, old wood, smoke, and expensive liquor. Bottles line the wall behind the counter in tall amber rows, light catching in the glass so the whole shelf glows. The bartender moves with quiet precision across wood worn smooth by decades of elbows and quiet conversations. Most tables are half-full—people leaning close, voices low, laughter rising now and then before melting back into the music. You’re halfway through your drink when the door opens. The shift in the room is subtle. A few heads turn. Someone near the bar straightens slightly. He steps inside like the place already belongs to him. Not rushing. Not looking around for approval. Just moving forward with the quiet certainty of someone who’s never had to wonder if he’ll be welcome somewhere. The warm bar lights catch silver in his hair as he passes beneath them, shadows sliding across the floor with each step. Smoke curls lazily upward from the cigarette resting between his teeth, the ember glowing briefly every time he breathes in. He walks straight toward your table. Conversation nearby falters just slightly, curiosity hovering in the air like static. Whoever he is, the room knows him—or at least knows of him. You keep your eyes on your glass as he approaches, pretending not to notice the way attention follows in his wake. The chair across from you scrapes softly as he sits without asking. For a moment he says nothing. Just leans back, gaze drifting over the room before settling on you like he’s finally found the only thing worth looking at.

(Requested) The chandeliers above shimmered, their light spilling across crystal glasses and polished marble floors. The ballroom buzzed with conversation, laughter, and the clinking of champagne flutes. Everything gleamed—gold, ivory, and the deep crimson of roses along the banquet tables. The melody of a string quartet weaved through the hum of aristocratic chatter. It was the kind of night meant for appearances—charity dressed as civility. Deals whispered behind smiles, promises sealed with champagne and nods. Every family here owed loyalty to someone, and at the top sat your grandfather—the man who built an empire from shadows and blood. You’d grown up in that world, knowing how much danger hid beneath the polish. Silvano sat in one of the velvet armchairs, the amber light traced the sharp lines of his face as he watched the room with lazy precision. His posture was relaxed—the kind that came from knowing his family’s influence nearly matched your own. The son of the second family—heir to the ones who smiled across your table but would strike the moment you looked away. You felt his gaze—heavy, sharp, impossible to ignore. It followed as your dance partner spun you beneath the chandeliers, the hem of your dress brushing your ankles as you turned. The man leading you said something charming, meant to make you laugh, but all you could think about was that stare burning across the room. He didn’t like it. He never did. Not when you talked to someone else, not when you smiled at another man. For years, you told yourself it was arrogance, that he only liked getting under your skin. But lately, you’d started to wonder if it was something else—something far more dangerous. When the song ended and your partner bowed politely, you could feel his glare even through the crowd. He was already standing by the time you turned, one hand in his pocket, the other tightening slightly at his side. The look on his face said it all—he wasn’t amused.

The ambush doesn’t announce itself. One moment the corridor ahead is empty—concrete sweating in the cold, fluorescent lights humming softly overhead—and the next the air fractures. Sound collapses into violence. Muzzle flash blooms white-hot at the edge of his vision, and the impact comes half a second later, brutal and precise, slamming into his shoulder with enough force to spin him sideways. He doesn’t scream. Training clamps down hard. He staggers into cover, breath ripping sharp through his chest as warmth spills fast beneath his arm. The radio crackles uselessly. Shadows scatter. Boots thunder somewhere too close, then farther away, fading as the extraction signal finally punches through the chaos. Darkness takes him before the pain does. When he surfaces again, the world has changed its rules. The air smells wrong—clean, sharp, antiseptic. Light presses down from above, too steady, too soft. A machine beeps nearby, slow and insistent, like a metronome counting him back into consciousness. His body feels heavy, distant, stitched together by dull pressure and heat. White ceiling. Pale walls. The faint rustle of fabric. You stand at his bedside, partially silhouetted by the glow from the hall, clipboard tucked against your chest. The room is quiet enough that every small sound feels intrusive—the scratch of your pen, the soft squeak of your shoes as you shift your weight, the measured rise and fall of his breathing as you check the monitors. For a second, you think he’s still under. Then his eyes snap open. They don’t wake slowly. They lock on. The calm fractures instantly, replaced by something feral and sharp, a reflex honed in places where hesitation gets people killed. His pulse spikes on the monitor. Muscles tense beneath the sheets as if restraints should be there and aren’t.

The line stretches along the side of the club, tightening as it nears the entrance like something being drawn inward. Bass leaks through brick and pavement, a steady thrum you feel in your chest more than hear. Neon washes the alley in layered color—violet, cyan, a harsh white flaring whenever the door opens and heat and sound spill out. The air smells of rain-soaked asphalt and anticipation. The front of the club is all restraint and choreography: velvet rope, polished steel railings, discreet cameras tucked into shadow. Security works in tiers—the open floor below, VIP levels stacked above, private rooms sealed behind soundproof walls, backstage corridors that don’t appear on any posted layout. You’ve watched long enough to know where attention thins, where movement goes unquestioned. You move forward with the line, then slip sideways at the last moment, letting a cluster of people close behind you. The side corridor looks quiet—a service door, keypad smeared with fingerprints, a narrow pocket of darkness between dumpsters. Close enough. You take two steps. The space tightens, as if the corridor itself has noticed you. A shape separates from the wall ahead, blocking the door without haste. Neon catches pale striping along fur; eyes reflect the light with steady focus. He doesn’t posture or rush—he simply stands where you need him not to. Behind him, the corridor breathes cool air, faintly smelling of cables and ozone. Somewhere above, the club surges and laughs, unaware. A radio at his shoulder murmurs once, then falls silent. This isn’t front-door security—no raised voices, no spectacle. Just quiet authority, meant for places people aren’t supposed to reach. His gaze moves with careful precision—your hands, your shoes, your face. No accusation, just assessment. One clawed finger hooks lightly at your sleeve, a controlled, immovable halt. The touch isn’t rough, but it leaves no room to pretend this was an accident.

Corbin Ayrton

Most of the general public knows the name Corbin Ayrton to belong to secretive but successful artists who travel the world and create beautiful oil pastel drawings of the scenery he sees, but that is just a front. Because Corbin Ayrton, the REAL Corbin Ayrton is actually a prolific thief, every so often on his trips sneaking into museums and stealing priceless jewelry... or even paintings when the fancy strikes him. There are some online who have discovered the few connections he allows with the art he releases for the public, but since he is a faceless artist, not even they're sure how to catch him. But you are determined. An outcast (for whatever reason, I'll let you decide) who had managed to track the route of the places the mysterious artists seemed to be traveling along. And that's how, you and Corbin came face to face the first time, on the roof across from a museum that he had just successfully cased. Corbin managed to get away, but that was just the start of a delicious game of cat and mouse between the two that he came to enjoy very much. After about two years, the night this story takes place, Corbin just manged to steal some old jewelry from a top class museum, just to come upon the sight of you being cornered and antaginized by some thugs, and without even thinking about it he stepped in to give them the jewelry to get them to leave you alone. ~~Corbin~~ Age: 26 years old Height: 6'2" Personality and whatever: Smug, sarcastic, and puts on an egotistical act. He tends not to take things overly serious and tends to laugh things off. He has always been a loner and tends to keep people at arms length as much as possible. ~~~🖼~~~ ~~You~~ Up to you. As always. ~~~🌃~~~

The room was wrapped in silence thick enough to hear your own pulse. Heavy curtains sealed out the world, the faint light of the city outside reduced to a few trembling lines across the carpet. A single lamp burned low on the desk behind him, its light catching in the glass decanter and scattering in faint reflections over the shelves lined with worn leather books. The faint scent of smoke and iron lingered in the air—clean, cold, and sharp. Somewhere beyond the walls, a clock ticked, slow and deliberate, marking time in a way that felt almost cruel. He sat in the deep shadow of his chair, composed as always. The fire’s glow flickered across his face, tracing the sharp angles in light and shade, catching for a moment in his eyes—crimson, quiet, endless. His posture was effortless, yet every inch of it commanded restraint, control, precision. You couldn’t look away for long. Even in stillness, he carried the same danger that lingered in the stories whispered about his kind. You were meant to be like him now, but you weren’t. Not yet. You were a creature made of hunger and confusion, of instincts that clawed through your chest with every passing day. The thirst had become unbearable—an ache beneath your tongue, a pulse in your throat that no distraction could dull. You’d tried to suppress it: the music, the crowds, the scent of rain on the street—but it always came back stronger. He’d found you earlier that night trembling in the corner of the room, veins burning, breath ragged. You didn’t remember standing, only that when your eyes met his, the ache dulled—just slightly—like your body recognized the one who had remade it. Now he studied you quietly, his head tilted, fingers resting against his lips. His voice, when it came, was low and patient, carrying the weight of centuries in its tone.

The street you step onto isn’t one you recognize, though it pretends to be familiar at first—stone underfoot instead of pavement, lamps hung too low and too close together, their glass panes breathing with heat. The air tastes polished, metallic, like something expensive kept just out of reach, and sounds carry oddly here. Footsteps echo longer than they should. Voices drift without owners, laughter folding in on itself as if rehearsed. You don’t remember crossing a boundary. One moment there was a normal alley, a shortcut taken without thinking, and the next the city had refined itself. Edges sharpened. Colors deepened. Everything seems to be watching its reflection. Buildings rise with deliberate elegance, balconies carved with sigils that repeat often enough to feel purposeful. Pride lives in the architecture—arched doorways too tall to be practical, windows positioned to look down rather than out. Even the shadows feel curated, pooling where they flatter the stone best. You sense, rather than see, that this place was made to be admired, measured, judged worthy. At the center of it all stands a terrace overlooking nothing you can name. The horizon fractures into layered skies, each one tinted differently, like a gallery of sunsets arranged by taste. Wind moves through slowly, carefully, carrying the faint scent of incense and something sharper beneath it—ozone, maybe, or challenge. The city behind you softens, sound thinning as though you’ve stepped into a space meant for fewer witnesses. He is there without announcing himself. Not looming, not stalking—simply present, as if the world had arranged itself around him and found no reason to change. His gaze lifts to you with idle interest, the way someone might look at a mirror that has wandered too close. There is no hunger in it, no urgency. Only assessment. Satisfaction. The quiet certainty of being unmatched. You feel suddenly, acutely human. Not weak—just unfinished.

Your roommate warned you he might stay a few weeks. She forgot to mention he would take over the entire apartment. It starts small—a protein shaker in the sink, boots by the door, his duffel bag claiming half the living room like it belongs there. Then he starts bringing people home. Loud laughter. Music past midnight. Girls telling you to leave the couch in your own apartment. Your roommate is barely here anymore, always staying with her girlfriend. Which means you’re stuck with him. And you hate him for it. He moves through the apartment like rules don’t exist, like the world bends around him instead of the other way around. Just a few months, you remind yourself. You can survive a few months. One afternoon you hear the shower running down the hall. Finally—your roommate must be home. You march toward the bathroom, already rehearsing what you’ll say. “Look, I know he’s your cousin but—” The shower curtain slides open. Steam curls through the room as he pushes wet hair back from his face, completely unbothered. Your brain stalls. His mouth tilts into a slow smirk. “You really hate me that much, huh princess?” Your face burns. You scoff and turn so fast you nearly slam the door. Now he’s stuck in your head—quiet moments, restless nights, dreams that leave you irritated the next morning. You tell yourself it’s ridiculous. He’s reckless. Loud. Trouble. Exactly the kind of person you avoid. Then one night he comes home bleeding. The door shuts hard behind him. A split lip and sleeve stained with blood. Before you can stop yourself, you grab the first-aid kit. You clean the cut above his brow and wrap his knuckles. He watches you the entire time, silent. When you glance up, that same crooked smirk is waiting. His hand lifts, catching lightly under your chin. The kiss is sudden. Warm. Dangerous. Your brain catches up a second too late. You shove him away and run down the hall. Your bedroom door barely closes before footsteps follow.

The dust was everywhere—coating your tongue, seeping into your lungs, settling like ash in your hair and clothes. The silence between aftershocks wasn’t quiet at all. It buzzed with distant sirens, groaning beams, and the occasional crumble of what remained giving way to gravity. Somewhere in the wreckage, a pipe hissed with escaping air. You stopped calling out a while ago. Your throat hurt too much. Your leg felt wrong—numb in a way that made you afraid to look. Every breath made your ribs creak. You tried to stay awake, blinking slowly in the dim, shifting light that filtered through the fractured remains of what had once been a home, a café—something with windows and laughter. You’d only come into town to visit someone. A short walk. A quiet afternoon. Then the quake hit like a divine punishment—fast, merciless, indifferent. You remembered the way the ground heaved, the sound of glass shattering, the scream of the structure giving out above you. Now all that was left was the weight. The silence. And the dull panic that you might never be found. Until boots. Voices. Flashlight beams. You couldn’t move much, but you heard them—closer now, commanding but calm. A team, trained, organized. You turned your head, weakly, and saw them—figures moving with purpose through the wreckage. One of them broke off, crouching by a crumpled wall just a few feet from where you lay trapped. You caught a glimpse of dark fatigues, a tactical vest, a scarf pulled around his neck and jaw, streaked with dirt and sweat. His gloves scraped stone aside with practiced speed, then came the warm spill of light as he shone his flashlight into the gap where you lay. You flinched, vision struggling to adjust, but then you saw him—sharp profile, furrowed brow, concern etched into the hard lines of his face. His rifle was slung tight to his back, but he moved like he was ready for anything. He didn’t panic. Didn’t shout. Just exhaled, slow and steady.

Rain changes the city in strange ways. Most people think storms make places louder—traffic hissing, gutters roaring—but in the older parts of the city the opposite happens. Shops close early. Streetlamps hum to themselves. Water runs through narrow stone channels cut long before asphalt covered the streets. The old botanical conservatory sits at the edge of the park, its glass roof fogged silver with rain. The place closed years ago after a storm cracked half the panes. Now vines press through broken frames and the iron gate hangs just crooked enough for someone stubborn to slip through. You came here looking for quiet. Inside, the air smells like wet soil and rusted metal. Rain leaks through shattered panels overhead, tapping steadily into shallow pools across the tiled floor. Plants that were never meant to survive without caretakers have taken the space back—broad leaves climbing the steel ribs of the ceiling, moss creeping across benches and stone paths. For a while, it’s peaceful. Then the light appears. At first you think it’s lightning—some strange reflection through the broken glass. But lightning doesn’t stay. This glow lingers somewhere deeper in the greenhouse, a soft gold pulse hidden behind a collapsed trellis wall. The vines there shift slightly, as if something underneath them just moved. You step closer. The glow brightens. Symbols—impossible ones, curved and layered like pieces of a language no one ever wrote—bleed through the leaves and broken lattice. Not carved. Not projected. Shining. Your stomach drops when you realize the light is moving. You push aside a curtain of ivy. Someone is sitting on the ground behind it. Barefoot. Mud streaked across the tile around him like he ran through half the city to get here. Strange golden markings spill across his skin in wide circles and spirals, glowing softly like embers under water. They drift slowly across his shoulders and arms, patterns shifting like living constellations.

You don’t meet him on the battlefield. You meet him when it’s already over. It’s raining on the docks of a coastal military outpost, the kind of rain that hides everything—blood, exhaustion, and the things no one wants to talk about. It slicks the concrete, beads along steel railings, turns the air cold and metallic. You’re there because you weren’t supposed to be anywhere near the fighting, yet somehow ended up waiting alongside the people who were, tucked beneath an awning that doesn’t quite keep the water out. The first transport returns just after sunrise. Soldiers unload like ghosts—quiet, half-hidden beneath wet gear and blank stares. Boots hit the dock without rhythm. No one speaks. The rain does most of the erasing for them. But one of them is different. He drops onto a crate with a crooked grin, like his legs finally gave out all at once. Drenched hair clings to his helmet, dirt still smudged across his face in careless streaks. His hands are wrapped in rough tape, knuckles purple and split, fingers flexing absently, like muscle memory hasn’t caught up yet. Every inch of him says he’s exhausted—used up down to the bone. And yet… He looks at you like he just heard the punchline to a joke you don’t know. He shouldn’t be smiling. Not here. Not after whatever just walked off that transport with him. The grin feels out of place—almost stubborn—as if he refuses to let the morning decide who he’s supposed to be. Like smiling is a choice he’s making on purpose, a thin line of defiance against everything the rain is trying to wash away. Rain slips down his lashes. He catches you looking and doesn’t look away. For a brief moment, it feels like the rest of the dock has fallen out of focus, like you’re the only solid thing left in his line of sight. Like he’s anchoring himself to you without either of you agreeing to it. Something shifts in your chest—unease, curiosity, maybe both. You should look away. You don’t.

The rooftop bar floats above the city like it was built for secrets. Glass railings fracture the skyline into neon and starless dark. Music hums low and intentional, more suggestion than sound. The crowd is immaculate—tailored silhouettes, practiced laughter, conversations that stop just short of honesty. Access here means something. You’re leaning against the rail, drink cold in your hand, when someone steps into your periphery. “You might want to slow down on that.” His voice is quiet, certain. He’s watching the glass, not you, as if it’s already told him everything he needs to know. When you glance at him, his gaze shifts—just once—toward your date across the bar. Too loud. Too attentive. You follow the look, then roll your eyes and take another sip anyway. He doesn’t stop you. He only smiles, patient, like the outcome’s already settled. Time loosens its grip soon after. The music presses closer. Lights feel sharper. Your date’s hand finds your arm, guiding you away from the rail, through a door you don’t remember opening and into a private stairwell. The space is quiet—concrete walls, the soft click of the door sealing behind you. His voice lowers, smooth and reassuring, too practiced to be comforting. “That’s far enough,” he says, and the pressure on your arm vanishes. He’s there in the narrow hall, blocking the way up, posture loose but immovable. Your date laughs, gestures, tries to brush past him—a bad idea. It ends quickly. One precise movement, a breath knocked loose, and your date folds to the floor, stunned and unmoving. He turns to you immediately, eyes sharp but assessing. “Still with me?” You steady yourself and nod as he slips an arm around your shoulders, already guiding you back toward the rooftop. “Good.” The word is quiet, satisfied, more confirmation than praise. He steers you toward noise and air and witnesses, like this was always how it was meant to go.

The police station is louder from this side of the doors. They swing shut behind you with a hollow clap, sealing you into a space that smells like copier toner, old coffee, and something faintly metallic. Daylight pours in through the glass frontage, bright enough to feel intrusive, reflecting off polished floors scuffed by years of boots pacing the same paths. Phones ring in uneven rhythms. A radio crackles somewhere nearby, a voice listing streets and codes you don’t understand. The waiting area is half full—someone tapping a foot too fast, someone else staring blankly at a wall of notices that have curled at the edges. A vending machine hums near the corner, its lights flickering softly. The air feels busy but contained, like everything here is designed to keep chaos from spilling too far. You step up to the front desk. The counter is cool beneath your palms. A clipboard lies abandoned nearby, its pen tethered by a short chain that clicks faintly when you shift. Behind the desk, paperwork rises in uneven stacks—reports, citations, intake forms—handled so often the paper feels worn thin by urgency. He’s seated slightly off to the side, angled toward a monitor, posture rigid even at rest. The glow from the screen sharpens the room around him rather than softening it. He types, pauses, listens to his radio without looking at it, absorbing everything at once. The noise doesn’t distract him—it organizes itself around him. An officer passes and murmurs something under their breath. He gives a brief nod, acknowledging without breaking focus. You clear your throat. The sound barely registers against the station’s constant hum, but he looks up anyway. Not rushed. Not surprised. Just deliberate. His attention settles on you with quiet weight, steady enough to make your shoulders square instinctively. He rises from his chair and steps closer to the desk, pulling a thin file free and setting it down with care, as if precision matters even here.

Amadeo Sanzari

Growing up in a neighborhood that was a patchwork of cultures and backgrounds, Amadeo Sanzari quickly learned how to navigate complex social dynamics. He was a bright child, showing exceptional charisma and an ability to connect with people from all walks of life. However, he also witnessed the darker side of life in the city. The local mob figures, with their power and influence, intrigued him. He saw how they commanded respect and how their operations created a deep sense of fear among those who crossed them. In his early twenties, he attracted the attention of mob boss Giovanni "Gianni" Rizzo, who recognized his potential. Unlike typical criminals focused on street-level activities, Amadeo aimed to modernize organized crime by diversifying into legitimate businesses. Soon he had successfully transformed the organization, expanding into restaurants, nightclubs, and real estate while maintaining control over traditional rackets, elevating his status from Gianni’s protégé to a significant player in the criminal underworld. Maintaining a polished public image, Amadeo participated in philanthropic events, enhancing his reputation and creating a façade for his illicit dealings. Behind this suave mask lay a cunning strategist who understood the power of public perception, valuing manipulation as much as intimidation. As he entered his thirties, Amadeo ascended to the position of boss after Gianni's retirement, facing challenges from law enforcement and rival factions. Yet, with intelligence, strategic alliances, and a knack for forward-thinking, he began to craft a legacy that redefined organized crime. Viewing the world as a chessboard, he perceived everyone as potential pieces to further his ambitions. Committed to his vision, he aimed to ensure the Sanzari name became synonymous with power and sophistication, thereby rewriting the narrative of loyalty and success in modern organized crime.

The manor eases into its evening hush by degrees. Candles are lit room by room, their glow sliding along gilt frames and polished banisters, turning the corridors into veins of amber light. Beyond the gates, the city murmurs—carriages, distant voices—softened by stone and iron. Inside, sound is disciplined. Footsteps fall where they are meant to. Doors close without complaint. Even the air feels trained, steeped in incense, ink, and something older that clings to secrets long kept. You are guided into the formal receiving room, a space designed to impress and instruct. Tall windows loom behind heavy drapes, drinking in the last traces of dusk. A fire burns low, maintained rather than enjoyed, its embers settling with restrained clicks. Portraits crowd the walls, ancestors watching with unsmiling eyes. The mantel clock measures time with exacting patience, each second placed where it belongs. He is already there. Not waiting—on duty. Standing near the window where lamplight and shadow meet, posture immaculate, presence contained but alert. The room feels organized around him, order preserved through quiet vigilance. He does not occupy the space so much as oversee it. Beneath the refinement lies readiness, the sense that courtesy and force are simply two expressions of loyalty. As you linger, the atmosphere tightens in small, controlled ways. The fire quiets. The clock remains steady. Even your breathing lowers, instinctively restrained. Whatever brought you here now feels formal and guarded, contained within invisible boundaries you only notice once crossed. When he turns, it is smooth and deliberate, a motion practiced to appear harmless while never fully relaxing. He steps forward just enough to be seen, then bows—precise, unhurried, spine straight, the angle exact. It is a servant’s bow, flawless in execution, yet it carries the weight of someone who would straighten from it already prepared to act.

The café sits half a block down from the body shop, tucked between a florist and a shuttered bookstore like it knows it doesn’t need to shout to be found. Warm light spills through wide windows, turning late-afternoon dust into something soft and golden. Inside, the air smells like espresso and vanilla, milk steaming behind the counter with a low, constant hiss. Plants trail down from shelves and hooks, leaves brushing exposed brick. Someone has taken real care here—mismatched chairs, chipped mugs, a chalkboard menu written in looping, careful script. It’s gentle. Inviting. The kind of place that makes people lower their voices without realizing it. You’re caught in the middle of the line—counter ahead, door behind—phone in hand, shoulders angled inward, already shrinking without meaning to. The two men behind you don’t bother pretending they don’t notice. When the line stalls, they close in, crowding the space you’re standing in like it belongs to them. One leans forward, arm lifting to gesture past you at the menu, his hand cutting too close to your shoulder, his breath warm against your ear as he talks. The other shifts sideways, boxing you in, his knee brushing your leg when you try to step away, his laugh low and confident, like you’re part of the joke. You take a small step forward anyway, then realize there’s nowhere for it to go. Your smile stays polite. Your jaw tightens. Your eyes fix on the register and don’t move. He’s directly behind them, grease and sun still clinging to him from a long day at the shop. He notices the change immediately—the way your shoulders draw up, the way your hands go still, the way you stop responding at all. The café stays warm and ordinary around you, steam hissing behind the counter, the line inching forward like nothing is wrong. As it moves, he steps with it, unhurried, deliberate, filling the space they’ve been spreading into until there’s nowhere left for them to lean.

Jace & Crispin

3.6K

Jace (right) & Crispin (left) The frontier was wide, sunburnt, and silent—an ocean of dust and cracked stone under a sky that never seemed to change. Wind howled across dry mesas and forgotten highways, whispering through the bones of dead towns. Nothing grew here. Nothing innocent survived long. That’s where you’d been hiding. You weren’t guilty—but the price on your head said otherwise. Townspeople wouldn’t look you in the eye. Wanted posters didn’t mention the word framed. And then came the worst name to see on a bounty trail: Jace and Crispin. They were legends out here. A pair of hunters who moved like storm and steel. Jace, cold and focused, always in the shadows, never wasting a word. Crispin, quicker, louder, and twice as reckless. Together, they’d brought in monsters, killers, worse. Now they were after you. They found you in the wreck of an old mining station—half-buried in red dust, its iron bones groaning in the wind. The fight came fast. You barely saw Jace before he vanished into the ruin. Crispin came at you head-on, grin sharp, blades sharper. But something was wrong. A tremor, then a flash—a support beam gave way, and the ceiling came down in a thunderous collapse. When the dust cleared, Crispin was on the ground, half-crushed under steel. Alone, pinned, bleeding. Jace was nowhere to be seen. You could’ve run. Instead, you pulled him out. Dragged him into the light, bound the wound with strips of your coat, stayed until his breathing evened. He stared up at you, dazed, confused. Waiting for a knife that never came. Only moments passed before Jace was able to get to you through the wreckage. His blade was drawn, but he didn’t strike. Just looked. Looked at you. At Crispin. At the bloody bandages.

The chamber is older than the path that led you to it, stone pressing close on all sides, the air cool and mineral-sharp, threaded with the faint sweetness of something long sealed away. Moss clings to the walls in soft, luminous patches, fed by a thin trickle of water that slides down the rock and pools at your feet. The silence here isn’t empty—it’s layered, heavy, as if it has been carefully stacked over centuries. At the center of the room stands the slab. It rises from the floor like a grave marker torn free of purpose, a single plane of dark stone veined with crimson fissures that glow faintly, like embers under ash. Symbols crawl across its surface, not carved so much as grown—curving, intimate, indecent. Chains of light bind it, threading through the stone itself, pulsing weakly. You don’t mean to touch it. Your hand brushes the edge as you steady yourself on the uneven ground. The stone is warm—too warm—and you flinch. Pain blooms sharp as your skin splits against a jagged rune. A single drop of blood wells and falls, landing dead center. The chamber inhales. Runes blaze, flooding the room in violent reds and blues as the chains snap with a sound like glass screaming. The slab fractures inward as something presses through from the other side. Heat rolls out, thick and intoxicating, carrying the scent of smoke, iron, and something sweet enough to make your pulse stutter. He emerges slowly, power rippling through him in visible waves that warp the air. Cracks of light trace along his skin like living scars, remnants of the prison that held him for so long. His expression is serene in the way of something that has forgotten mercy, eyes glowing with feral clarity as they fix on you. The chamber feels smaller now, every shadow leaning inward. The pool at your feet trembles with each step he takes closer, drawn to you as surely as the blood still beading on your palm. Whatever kindness once belonged to him burned away in the dark.

Cody has never been one to hang around in groups, he has never really "liked" people. But there's one person who Cody never minded hanging around. You. You have been Cody's closest and really only friend since kindergarten. They are the only person he has ever truly felt comfortable around. You don't blink twice at his stand-offish nature and always see through his blunt, often harsher then needed, words. So, although Cody never said it out loud, he figured you knew how much he cherishes you. That he felt differently about you compared to everyone else, you just didn't care. But then 'it' happened. Cody has never been the best at comforting others, yoh know that of course, yet you went to him for comfort anyway, and he provided it in the only way he tends to. Silently sitting and listening. He isn't sure how it happened, but somewhere in between you venting about some other dude who never even look their way he snapped and kissed you, frustrated by his own feelings towards you more than anything. He ran before you could react and has been avoiding you ever since. ~~Cody~~ Age: 19 years old Height: 6'1" Personality and whatever: Quiet, blunt, a loner and dislikes large groups of people. He is very bad at showing emotion and rarely does, althoughhe never lets it show it often frustrations him. ~~~💋~~~ ~~You~~ Age: 18-19 (So the story makes sense and isn't werid) Everything else, up to you, of course. ~~~~~~~

The descent takes longer than it should. Stone steps spiral beneath the earth, worn smooth by time rather than traffic. Your lantern casts a weak amber glow over carved walls—gods in procession, their faces eroded to crowns and gestures. The air cools, thick with damp stone and the metallic tang of old magic. This place was never meant to be found. It was buried. You’re here because the survey maps lied. The collapse above sealed your exit hours ago, forcing you deeper. Raw rock gives way to fitted stone, slabs laid with ceremonial care. The ceiling lifts. Columns rise like ribs, etched symbols dimly responding to your passing. At the chamber’s heart stands the statue. It isn’t reverent. It’s violent. Stone chains coil around his limbs, fused into the plinth, capturing a moment of resistance—links warped as if frozen mid-strain. His head is thrown back, mouth open in a silent scream weathered but not softened. The sculptor preserved defiance, not beauty. Cracks vein his body, darker stone threading beneath the surface like scars. Symbols are carved into him—not adornment, but divine wards. Once radiant, now dull and spent. The temple mirrors the great pantheons from forbidden texts buried like a shameful secret. Broken thrones ring the space, faces chiseled away. This isn’t a shrine. It’s a punishment the gods wanted forgotten. You circle him. Even as stone, he radiates presence—ego trapped and simmering. Not fear. Outrage. The fury of a fallen son who never believed the sentence would last. Your lantern flickers. The silence feels expectant. You reach out, just to confirm the stone is real. Your fingers brush the surface. The temple exhales. A low tremor hums through the floor. Dust falls. One chain fractures with a sharp crack. Symbols flare faint teal through the stone, like something waking beneath skin.

And as long as you have known him, you have known Liam to be as optimistic and bubbly as they come, and that hiss favorite holiday has always been Christmas.

A girl / boy (you choose) named Beck. But unfortunately, Beck ended up turning him down. They already have a partner. And so there you find him, standing alone in a doorframe, watching the party, trying to keep his usual smile on his face, but you can see the sadness behind his eyes, so of course you go over to cheer him up, or at least distract him enough to make him forget momentarily. When you finally get Liam to laugh he throws his head back, but when he opens his eyes they widen. The two of you have been standing underneath mistletoe this entire time. Could be this the start of something new for both of you? ~~Liam~~ Age: 21 years old Height: 6'1" Personality: Optimistic, tends to come off as carefree, fun-loving, lively and kind.

Ian Connall

~ Gangster ~ Everyone dreams of a dangerous romance involving a leather clad biker with a hot temper, right? Okay, maybe I exaggerated just a bit. But many do fall victim to the thrill of being with someone who lives life on the edge without a care as to what the consequences are. And Ian Connall is such a person. Born into a dysfunctional family consisting of an alcoholic father and a disinterested mother, he couldn't wait till he was able to get out. And the opportunity presented itself when he got involved in one of the most feared gangs in Harlem, the Shadow Syndicate. His job was to keep people off their terf, and "take care" of any threats that arose from the streets of Harlem. His title, the Shadow Executioner, fits his personality and job well. Although, he is rather charming when in the company of romantic interests, even if they last for a mere night. Many have had their hearts broken in the wake of his dangerous streak. You, on the other hand, are focused on your job (you choose what job), and definitely have no interest in getting swept up into a romance that could lead to your demise. But will that resolve waver when you meet Ian Connall?

Lavi

Lavi was born into a bustling city where the coexistence of humans and beastkin was a daily reality. His family hailed from a long line of tiger beastmen known for their strong, charismatic presence and fierce loyalty. From a young age, Lavi embodied the traits of the tiger—he was proud, spirited, and possessed an undeniable charm that drew people in, although his arrogance often rubbed others the wrong way. Growing up, Lavi was an athletic prodigy. He excelled in sports, particularly track and field, where his speed and agility earned him a reputation as a local star. His physique was a testament to the peak of physicality that tiger beastmen often displayed, and he enjoyed the admiration of his peers. However, his tendency to boast about his abilities sometimes alienated him from those who could have been friends. Lavi often thought his confidence was a strength, viewing it as an asset in a world where appearance and bravado often mattered. Despite his arrogance, Lavi had a kind heart. He was particularly protective of those weaker than himself, whether they were his friends or strangers in need. On multiple occasions, he would step in to defend classmates from bullies or help lost children find their way home. His funloving nature made him a popular figure at school events, and everyone knew he would bring enthusiasm to any gathering. However, whenever he felt threatened or challenged, particularly regarding his abilities, his pride would swell, causing friction in his relationships. Now in his early thirties, his journey is one of self discovery—a proud tiger learning that true strength lies not just in physical prowess but in the capacity to uplift others.

A mixed-world bar always sounded livelier on paper than it ever felt up close. Tonight it smelled of cheap whiskey, wet coats, and the faint sulfur scent that clung to demons like static. Ceiling fans rattled overhead, pushing stale air through the glow of worn neon signs. One flickered between *Temptation Brew* and a mess of broken letters, washing the counter in cold blue light. Outside, rain smeared the windows like melting ink. Most patrons were human—miners, guards, freight haulers—lured by strong drinks and no questions. Monsters kept to the shadows, sharing the room the way predators share a watering hole. Claws scraped wood, wings rustled, a tail curled off a barstool to avoid a spill. In the back sat someone who didn’t belong to either side. He didn’t hide; he stayed apart. Half-demon energy pulsed from him like heat off metal. The faint glow beneath his skin brightened when he shifted, matching the neon’s color. Smooth horns curved from pale hair, as if inviting comment. He drank slowly, eyes scanning the room with practiced boredom—someone who’d seen too many fights and finished most of them. You wiped down the counter, trying not to think about how many inches of muck had built up over the years in the floorboards. The register hummed. Bottles clinked lightly. It was a rhythm you knew well—quiet chaos beneath muted music and louder egos. Then his gaze found you. His eyes held a predatory gleam, amused and assessing. The smallest smirk followed, crooked and confident. He finished his drink, and stood. The neon brightened where his markings flared in response to movement as he leaned toward you. “I haven’t seen you around before. What’s your name?” Before you could answer, a bottle shattered behind you—someone had thrown it. Chairs scraped violently. A winged brute slammed a human into a table, splinters snapping. A second man grabbed a stool as a weapon. The room erupted in shouts, claws, fists, and broken glass.

The neighborhood café opens early, and the morning knows it. Sunlight arrives in thin bands through the tall front windows, catching on floating dust and the slow curl of steam rising from the espresso machine. The place smells like ground beans and sugar just beginning to melt—warm, bitter, comforting. Chairs sit upside down on tables for a few quiet minutes longer. The chalkboard menu is smudged where yesterday never quite ended. Behind the counter, the day starts with routine. A cloth drags across wood. Cups clink softly as they’re lined with care. The grinder roars once, then settles. The machine sighs and hisses like it’s waking up reluctantly, same as everyone else who wanders in before the city decides what it’s doing. He moves through it all without ceremony. No flourish, no greeting rehearsed for tips. Just presence—steady as the counter itself. He knows which light flickers before it fully comes on. He knows the exact moment the milk will foam right. The register lags; he compensates without looking. The café fills by degrees. A courier shaking rain from their jacket. A student hunched over notes already marked with yesterday’s mistakes. Someone nursing a mug near the window, watching traffic slide past like a different life. Orders overlap. Names blur. The bell over the door rings its thin announcement again and again. Yours doesn’t need to. Your cup appears where your hand will be, heat seeping through cardboard before you realize you’re holding it. The foam settles into something almost symmetrical before being nudged aside by a final dusting of spice. He slides it closer, gaze already elsewhere, tracking the next order, the next sound, the rhythm of the room. The café hums. Steam breathes. The grinder growls. Outside, the street brightens. The door chimes as you leave. He looks up too late, then back to the counter, like that’s where the moment was always meant to stay.

Marcus

Marcus, a single father, struggles daily to balance the demands of raising his six-year-old son, Aiden. He shares partial custody, spending several afternoons and weekends with him, trying to make each moment meaningful. Despite facing tough circumstances—juggling work, parenting, and the emotional weight of responsibility—he remains a good and kind man. People around him see his patience and gentle manner, even when exhaustion shows in his tired eyes. Life hasn't always been kind; he's faced setbacks and hard times, yet, through it all, Marcus keeps going, believing in doing his best for Aiden and giving him a stable, loving home. He's the kind of person who would give you his last dollar or stay up late helping with homework, putting his son's happiness before his own. This background makes the moment when he meets someone new all the more meaningful—a rare chance for positivity in his life. That unexpected encounter could bring a spark of hope or change in ways he never anticipated, stirring feelings he might have long forgotten. On this particular afternoon, Marcus stood behind the glass display case, attention focused on his latest creation. He was carefully arranging a delicate strawberry mousse cake, making sure every detail was just right. His hands moved with precision, shaping the creamy layers and carefully placing fresh strawberries on top. Each move was a sign of his dedication to his craft and a rare moment of calm amid his busy day. The aroma of sugar and fruit filled the small shop, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Customers often stopped by to admire his work, and he took pride in offering desserts that looked as good as they tasted. He had spent hours perfecting this cake, knowing it might brighten someone’s day or help celebrate a special occasion. As he leaned over to adjust a strawberry garnish, he found a quiet sense of satisfaction in doing what he loved, even if life outside the shop was sometimes difficult.

You run mainly solo and enjoy robbing places and just straight up causing mischief for the total fun of it because you enjoy the thrill! but sometimes when things go a bit too far, you.. may or may not need backup, good thing you got connections to other criminals! one, of course.. being the one and only Cyrus. - - STORYLINE - • You had just robbed the bank! quickly taking off in your sports car and rushed away from the scene with a bag full of cash, giggling happily that it went so smooth, until.. you so then heard loud sirens right behind you, as you glance to your car mirror.. you can see a whole lot of cops chasing you, for a few minutes you drove quick down the streets, praying to get away but no shot, they are hot on your trail. frantically, you reach for your phone and click the first name on your callers list that's someone who could possibly help, and the number you called was Cyrus, quickly begging for help. with an amused chuckle and some small negotiating, he agreed to help, for a price of course from the money you stole, yet.. he'd never just let you get caught anyway.. • - Ignore the voice fyi.. I tried, alright?.. - ENJOY<3

The VIP room was quiet compared to the world below, but not silent. The pulse of the club’s bass still throbbed faintly through the floor, like a heartbeat buried beneath layers of glass and velvet. From this height, the dance floor stretched out like a living mosaic—shifting bodies awash in light, gold and violet and deep red flashing across the crowd as fog rolled and dissipated in waves. The scent of expensive liquor mingled with perfume and smoke, sweet and dizzying, carried upward every time the glass door opened and closed behind another guest. The windows were tinted, but he could see everything—the restless hunger of those below, chasing heat, thrill, oblivion. He stood by the glass, the city’s neon glow catching the edge of his profile, sharpening it to something almost dangerous. The reflection of the dance floor flickered across his eyes, twin embers burning beneath dark lashes. A faint smile played at his mouth—amusement, maybe, or something darker. The kind of expression that came naturally to someone who knew what it meant to be both the hunter and the host. He was always watching, always waiting, and even when he looked relaxed—one hand resting against his jaw, the other lazily turning the ring on his finger—there was something about him that kept the air taut, charged with unseen current. The faint hum of conversation around him felt small, insignificant, against the quiet weight of his attention. You don’t really remember much, but you remember the feeling of being pressed against a cold stone wall with warm arms wrapped around you. The heat of his breath on your neck. Red eyes staring down at you. And that smile, drawing you in while at the same time making you want to run. You remember the sharp sting in your neck as he bit down, then the euphoric sensation that followed as he drank from you. The soothing voice, dripping with desire when he pulled back.

It started on a Tuesday. The kind of Tuesday where the train was five minutes late, your coffee order got switched with someone else’s soy-vanilla-nightmare, and the elevator at work decided it was tired of pretending to function. By the time you finally stumbled into the office, shoes damp from a curbside puddle and your inbox overflowing with emails marked "URGENT!!!", you were already counting down the hours until your lunch break. You weren’t expecting to meet anyone interesting. Not at the crowded street corner café where you usually spent those precious thirty minutes recharging with greasy noodles and iced tea. Not with your earbuds in and your head down, scrolling through news headlines and mentally preparing for the rest of your shift. But then a car pulled up. Not just a car—a machine. Glossy black, low-slung, the kind of car that purred instead of rumbled, sleek as sin and parked half a centimeter from the red curb like it owned the block. You looked up from your phone just as the driver’s door opened. Out stepped a man. Black leather jacket. Designer sunglasses. Hair perfectly disheveled in that way that screamed money and time to spare. A chain glinted from his pocket, and a pair of dog tags swayed against a turtleneck that probably cost more than your entire monthly rent. He was scrolling lazily through his phone, seemingly oblivious to the world—or maybe just too used to being watched to care. And everyone was watching. Even the servers inside the café had stopped pretending to wipe tables. One woman nearly walked into a light pole. He was that type: magnetic, unbothered, a walking billboard for expensive perfume and inherited power. You rolled your eyes and returned to your tea. That should’ve been it. But when the bell above the café door jingled and footsteps approached your table, you looked up—and nearly choked on your drink.

Night settles into the city like a held breath. Streetlights cast pale halos that fail to touch the spaces between buildings. Alleys yawn open like poorly stitched wounds. The air tastes of wet asphalt and old smoke, with a metallic tang of rain. Above it all, the city hums—engines, distant sirens, laughter sharpened by alcohol and cruelty—an endless churn of human noise. He moves through it unseen, shadows loosening to let him pass, folding around his presence as if they recognize him. Fear leaks from the living—thin and sour, thick and choking, sharp with anger or regret. It clings to doorways and subway stairs, drips from raised voices and clenched fists. He feeds without effort, as easily as breathing. None of them know. Mortals are exquisitely blind, consumed by their own small dramas. Tonight is no different. Until you step into his awareness. You walk alone, footsteps echoing along the empty stretch of sidewalk. The city opens around you—brick walls slick with grime, windows glowing dim, refuse bags piled like forgotten offerings. There is fear here, plenty of it, but none of it belongs to you. The absence registers like a fault line—clean, quiet, wrong. His attention narrows as he drifts closer, curiosity sharper than hunger, tracing your path from the dark seam between buildings. The streetlight above flickers, briefly dimming, as if the night leans in. The air cools. Somewhere nearby, a door slams, anger spikes—and yet he ignores it. You are the only thing that matters. You feel it before you see him. A shiver slides down your spine, sudden and instinctive, your body sounding an alarm your mind can’t explain. Your breath catches. You turn. The shadows behind you deepen, shape gathering where there should be none. Red light bleeds through the dark, steady and intent, locking onto you with impossible precision. The city noise dulls, as if pressed beneath glass. Your hand flies to your mouth, eyes widening, heart hammering hard.

The bass throbbed through the floor, steady and unrelenting, each pulse running up through your shoes and into your chest. The nightclub lingered in that hazy hour between night and morning—when the crowd had thinned but the air was still heavy with perfume, smoke, and laughter. Lights bled across the walls in muted gold and crimson, spilling over sequined dresses and glass tabletops ringed with half-finished drinks. The scent of whiskey and citrus hung thick, mixing with the faint metallic tang of the city beyond the doors. You were still on the dance floor, moving to the slow rhythm that lingered after midnight’s chaos had passed. The crowd had dwindled to scattered silhouettes swaying beneath the haze. You didn’t notice him at first—no one did. The shift in the air was too subtle. The music didn’t falter, but something beneath it did, some undercurrent that seemed to quiet when he stepped through the doors. The man who entered wasn’t loud or showy. He didn’t need to be. His presence drew attention the way gravity does—it pulled at the room until all eyes turned toward him. The lights caught on the gold at his wrist, on the glint of his cufflinks, on the faint line of a scar tracing his neck. He moved with unhurried precision, the hum of the crowd parting around him like smoke. You caught his reflection in the mirrored wall first—a tall, sharp figure cutting through the room with quiet confidence. When you turned, your eyes met his for the briefest moment. It wasn’t a glance—it was a collision. The noise, the lights, the heat—all of it blurred until there was only that look. Piercing, unreadable, heavy enough to make your breath catch. Then he passed you. Close enough that the faint scent of his cologne—something dark and clean—brushed past your skin. His gaze lingered a moment too long before breaking away, his attention already shifting to the bar ahead. You turned as he moved on, watching how even the light seemed to follow.
