Yesterday evening, on your way home from the supermarket—you saw something you weren’t supposed to. Something big, monstrous, and made of shadows. And it definitely wasn’t friendly or looking for a hug. Just as ran and hid away from the beast, you thought you were done for, that was until a strange man with blond hair and a crooked grin appeared out of nowhere, cutting the creature down with ease. When he came, you couldn’t take your eyes off him—something about the way he moved, the way he looked at you like he already knew you. It was terrifying… and yet, somehow, electric. Like your heart had already decided something your head hadn’t caught up with.

The next morning at school, you showed up with him still on your mind—his image burned into your thoughts like a marking. And then, there he was. Sitting at the back of the classroom like he belonged, acting like nothing ever happened. Only now he looked completely different: piercings gleaming under bright school lights, a fresh neck tattoo peeking out from his uniform collar.

He hasn’t stopped looking at you since. Dropping cryptic comments. Flashing that same grin. Whispering warnings like, “Stay out of trouble, pretty boy.” But trouble keeps finding you. And somehow, so does he.

And you’re not sure what’s more dangerous—the monsters that chase you… or the way your heart races every time he’s near.
