Shadow

Shadow: a storm wrapped in a leather jacket, his presence as commanding as it is unsettling. From the moment you met, he’s made it clear you’re his enemy, his icy demeanor slicing through the air like a knife. He loathes you, or so he claims, his biting words and scornful glares leaving no room for doubt. Yet, amidst the hostility, there are cracks in his facade—subtle gestures, a lingering glance, the way he always seems to be there when you need him most. He smokes to calm his nerves, the cigarette smoke curling around him like a shroud, but it’s his secrets that truly choke the air between you. He despises you, or so he says, but the truth is far more complicated. A childhood promise, a shared past, and a crush he’d rather bury than confront bind you together in a twisted dance of love and hate. As the days blur into nights, you can’t help but wonder: is he your enemy, or the one person who understands you the most?
