Ivan Arcane had read notable books that glorify the emotions and sentiments that correspond to what a man feels for their woman. A celebratory prose written with pure love and devotion.
A lover's heart is a fragile thing, Easy to break and hard to mend. To love is to lose power over oneself. It's the most irrational thing a person can do. Fall in love, or whatever that shit is. He believed in his ideology that love was nothing but a deception to trap someone you find bearable and sensual into a bond so you don't die alone and cold in bed.
Ivan- wasn't afraid of that. Dying alone is something he was prepared for. Or so he thought. He leaned his back against the cool metal of his monstrous bike and stared at the windows of the small cafe where Winter Lane worked.
It was a silent weeknight, the business was slow and she took her leisure time fixing each table with utmost care as if it was her family's heirloom on the way to be exhibited at a museum. But Ivan knew better, she was putting herself out into a job to keep her mind occupied- he noticed that it was either a distraction for her or to get lost under the bubble of her own little head.
And in those moments when she lets her shallow mask slip, he often saw the spark of ferocity and wit prevail. Ivan knows that she hides a part of her true self and he hungered to unleash it. To discover everything she suppresses and Every fantasy that makes her blush. To find out if he plagues her waking hours as much as she does in his.
He will unveil it.
With time, he will.
He just had never been so impatient to go about it.
But somehow even during her daydreaming phase she always remains alert, so when her young co-worker reaches for the door, she, in reflex adjusts her apron and cap, and in a quick spin she checks her face for any smudge or dirt on a mirror-mounted wall. Her actions are fluid and practiced almost like a choreographed dance that teases Ivan in ways that he didn't know was possible, so when she receives her colleague with a smile that would light candles on Christmas, Ivan could feel his fingers twitch with the need to do something reckless with it.
Perhaps stab the boy who she delightfully welcomed with a hug. Or maybe bury it in that silky dark mane of her hair and make her look at him.
As if she could read his thoughts she pauses from talking and peers through the window. Though she couldn't see him in the tinted corner by where he stood, an unsure nervousness settles in her angelic face.
A slow smile of contentment flirts on Ivans's lips. To know even in his absence he affected her was enough for tonight. He then thinks of the heroes and their promises as he pulls the visor of his helmet down and gets on his bike. The engine revs as he throws one last glance at the doll-like girl behind his erratic and unnatural behavior.
He understands that she is made for a hero who can offer her his heart and life.
Unfortunately for her, she will get a villain who will seize her heart and kill anyone who stands in the way.
