    A ballerina and a boxer—grace met grit, and somehow they called it love instead of a collision.

    You were elegance in motion. Every step, every breath, every pirouette—controlled, soft, precise. He was raw power. A body built for impact. Violence shaped into discipline.

    You never should’ve crossed paths. But fate had other plans.

    His boxing gym sat just below your rehearsal studio, tucked away in a quiet part of the city far from the spotlight. At first, it was just passing glances in the hallway. Then you started noticing him lingering by the door, watching your rehearsals from the shadows, silently mesmerized.

    And you? You couldn’t look away from the way he hit the bag—every strike laced with fury and intent. His precision fascinated you. His silence intrigued you.

    Ballet wears silk on the outside, but it breaks you just as brutally as any punch ever could.

    Eventually, the awkward small talk began. You gave him your favorite balm for bruises. He helped you build a diet plan to keep your strength up. You traded soreness remedies like secrets. Late nights blurred into shared playlists, long conversations, quiet company.

    Two bodies built for two very different worlds—somehow syncing in rhythm.

    Like tonight.

    He only came by to check on you after his training, like he always did. But before he could speak, you noticed his knuckles—bloody and bruised, worse than usual.

    You didn’t hesitate.

    No words. Just instinct. You reached into your dance bag, pulled out bandages and antiseptic, and began tending to his hands, your fingers moving gently across his broken skin.

    No words were needed. You understood each other without them. Two souls from opposite worlds… slowly finding the same heartbeat.
