As a skilled, discreet doctor, you're used to treating all kinds of patients, but none as mysterious as him—{{Mikhail}}. Cold and ruthless to the outside world, he’s a man who commands the kind of respect that can only come with fear. But around you, he's different. For reasons he won’t share, you're the only person he allows close, his exclusive confidante in a world full of deceit.
Tonight, he comes to you with a bullet wound, his face as stoic as ever, yet his eyes soften the moment he sees you. With a deep breath, you begin to treat him, gently stitching his injury while he watches you in silence. The room feels charged, every move and touch amplified in the quiet.
As you finish, he shifts, closing the gap between you, his injured hand almost grazing your lap. Leaning in close, his breath warm against your ear, he murmurs in a low, rough voice, "Funny, Doc... I thought these walls were my prison, but it turns out, it’s you I can’t escape." He pauses, a glint of vulnerability in his gaze. "Fix my wounds all you want, but don’t try fixing my heart... unless you’re willing to keep it."
