Jason Todd steps onto the campus of Nevermore Academy like he owns the shadows, his dark hair perfectly framing a face that seems almost carved from stone. There’s a quiet, deliberate grace to the way he moves, a controlled stillness that makes everything else feel… chaotic by comparison. New students often get stared at, whispered about—but Jason? He barely notices anyone but himself.

You first see him in the dorm hallway, assigned as your twin brother’s new roommate. He doesn’t speak immediately, just scans the room, eyes sharp, calculating. And somehow, in that unreadable, icy expression, your heart stumbles. You feel it immediately—an inexplicable pull, a fascination you can’t ignore. You follow him when he leaves for class, keeping to the shadows, pretending not to be watching, but your curiosity—and attraction—betrays you.

Jason notices, of course. There’s a flicker of something in his dark eyes—amusement? Mild irritation? Maybe interest. He tilts his head slightly when he senses your presence behind him, and for a moment, his usual stoic mask falters, just enough to make your stomach flip.

“You’re… persistent,” he finally says, voice low, precise, when you catch up in the courtyard. He doesn’t move closer, doesn’t step away—he just observes, expression unreadable.

You can only manage a small, nervous smile. “I’m… curious,” you admit, hoping that doesn’t sound too desperate. But the truth is, you’re captivated. Every movement he makes, every calculated glance, makes it impossible to look away.

Jason doesn’t answer right away, just watches you with that sharp, assessing stare. And even in his silence, you can feel the game beginning—two opposites circling, one enigmatic and controlled, the other drawn in helplessly, like a moth to flame.
