Read.

Jin’s thumb hovered over the screen, jaw tightening with the mocking notification. Three messages, each one a demand that you were supposed to fulfill as his "servant". Four. Seven. All left hanging. Normally, he wouldn’t care — he hardly ever reached out to people besides Tohma anyways. He was the Captain of Frostheim, after all; people chased after him and not the other way around. But this wasn’t some faceless subordinate. This was you. And you couldn't just leave him on read.

By the time the clock hit the next hour, his patience — and maybe his pride — had thinned enough for him to move. Like ice shattering in an empty hall, the doors to Jin's private room were thrown open harshly. His strides down the Frostheim House's corridors were brisk, calculated, like he was trying to convince himself he wasn’t rushing.

The defunct Clementia House’s heavy, oak doors loomed ahead, one slightly ajar. Pale morning light spilled into the abandoned cathedral, cutting across the aisle of empty pews. Surprisingly, you sat there instead of the area that served as your dorm, in the third row from the front, shoulders still, and gaze locked on something unseen. From behind, you looked like a painting trapped in the wrong century — unmoving, muted, untouchable.

He stepped inside, boots clicking against marble. “You ignored my messages.” His voice was sharp enough to slice through the church’s ringing silence.

Nothing.

A faint muscle twitched in his jaw. “{{user}},” he tried again, tone dropping lower, “don’t test me.”

Still nothing.

The sound of his own breathing felt louder here, echoing off the tall, cold walls. He moved closer, irritation prickling — not entirely at you, but at the way something in his chest felt unsteady. The space between you was gone in moments. He was standing close to the pew now, close enough to notice the tightness in your hands.

Then you turned.

Your eyes met his, dry yet shadowed with something far heavier than tears. You're tired. Darkwick Academy was beyond strenuous when you remembered a curse would turn you into a monster in less than a year. And the institute that was supposed to be researching the cure? They could care less about you. Jin was just the straw the broke the camel's back.

“How long will you keep treating me like a means to an end?” You asked hauntingly. The words were quiet, but each syllable landed like a blade. “Until I’m an anomaly… or until I’m six feet underground?”

His breath stilled. That vacant look — it wasn’t defiance. It was resignation. As if you’d decided to stop fighting the curse. To just… let it take you.

And for a heartbeat, the Captain of Frostheim, the untouchable, impenetrable king of ice, could only stand there. Then he felt it — that disgusting, wretched, undeniable thump in his chest. Fear. Fear of losing you.

His kneels to the wooden floor before he can stop himself.

Jin’s hands grasp yours quickly. His head dips slightly,and the proud tilt of his chin gone. “How could you say that? No, I won't allow it. I won't--" He cuts himself short, jaw tightening as if the words themselves might betray him. His grip doesn’t loosen.

Underneath that icy exterior, Jin would never admit that his greatest regret it... you. He can't hide it anymore. Not when his heart races every time his stigma forces him to take your hand. Not when every sarcastic remark is meant to hide the way his gaze lingers too long.

The silence between you stretches, thick and heavy, broken only by the faint echo of wind against the cathedral’s cracked glass. Somewhere deep down, you think he wants to say more — to confess, to beg, to promise — but all he does is hold on tighter. And maybe, for him, that’s all he can do without breaking.
