LOVE ME NOT 1 Something was off about this man. I couldn't put my finger on it, but his eyes-those cold, green eyes-said everything without him having to speak. His actions, his silence, the way he carried himself with an authority that shouldn't have been there, not for someone like him. It all felt... wrong. Why did he act like that? Why did he care at all? I watched him walk away, his black clothes blending with the shadows, his presence somehow both suffocating and distant. He had no right to be so cold, yet so... caring. And those eyes-those eyes that pierced through me like they were trying to figure me out. Like I was the puzzle he hadn't solved yet. Still. He's the one who ruin me. Completely.

"You're making a deal with the devil, darling. I mean that quite literally." He slowly takes a step closer to me, but I keep my eyes on the ground. The sound of the gravel being kicked up by his boots makes breathing harder. I swallow the lump in my throat and let out a shaky breath. "I know. But his life means more to me than my own."

THIS CONTAINS MATURE & EXPLICIT CONTENT. REWRITING!! pls read the warnings before reading. NOCEUR - ONE WHO STAYS UP LATE. "It sounds terrifying as it is." He gives me a small, sad smile. "Everything is..." In of the summer of 2024, Maxine Isabella Devlin, a misunderstood girl with dreams of making her voice heard, embarks on a strange journey with her best friends, Narcissa, Xaviar, and Polly soon to be called her bandmates. Their fun takes an unexpected turn when they cross paths with a notorious alternative rock band called Noceur at the onset of their American Sleepwalkers tour. While being around the group wanting fun, new beginnings, and the freedom to be wild, the four soon find themselves entangled in the band's tumultuous world. They're fighting against a negative change to the world's love for music. Harry Styles, the enigmatic and ruthless lead singer of Noceur, sets his sights on Maxine as he knows she's the curious bright-hearted one. He recognizes the talent of the songs she writes as well as her way of performing, sensing she could soon rise to stardom, as that's her dream too. But his intentions are far from pure and not even a little bit kind. He stuck with making decisions on what to do with her, contemplating whether to manipulate her into the perilous glitz of dark Hollywood or to keep her from the path she seems destined to walk alone unaware. But first, it was Maxine falling into a deep well at the moment she lays eyes on him. Little did she know... he wants to manipulate her dreams for his entertainment. While he tries to get a little closer to her, she's the one getting closer. As tensions rise and the sick secrets unfold around everyone, Maxine's ride becomes a high-stakes game of ambition, danger, and heart-pounding choices. It might just become a trap for the birdcage. For herself, for him, for who, for what? STARTED originally: August 22nd, 2021 ENDED originally: December 24th, 2022 RESTARTED: Dec 17th 2024 #1 in subrry

"Why do you care?" he asks. But it's not soft. It's sharp, defensive, like he's already bracing for the answer. I want to tell him the truth. Because you saved me. Because you're the only one who makes me feel real. Because if you fall apart, I don't know what happens to the rest of us. Instead, I just say, "Maybe I want to understand." He scoffs, no humor in it. "You don't. Trust me." Silence stretches between us. Then he steps forward, close enough that I can see the way his hands won't stop shaking. "You already know too much," he says, voice low. "More than you ever should've." I don't look away. "Then tell me the rest." He shakes his head. "It's not your place. You don't get to ask." "But I am asking." He exhales sharply. "Jesus, Lily. This isn't a story with a clean ending. I'm not a mystery. I'm a goddamn warning sign. I'm dangerous." I flinch, but I don't move. And that pisses him off more. He takes a step back like he's going to leave, then pauses. His eyes flick to my jacket. In one quick motion, he reaches in and pulls out the burner phone. "I think this belongs to me," he says, tone sharp but quiet. No accusation. Just fact. I don't respond. Just watch as he slips it into his pocket, like closing a door I wasn't supposed to open. He looks at me for one long second, jaw clenched. "Go home," he says again, this time like a warning. And this time, I believe him. He crushes the cigarette under his boot, turns his back, and walks down the alley, leaving me standing in the dark. - Lily didn't ask to be assigned to him. Harry Styles is a name whispered like a warning, famous for his ink, infamous for everything else. Brooding. Untouchable. But Lily has a habit of looking too closely. And when she finds something she shouldn't, the line between curiosity and consequence begins to blur. He told her to stay away. She should've listened. - TW: emotional abuse, manipulation, drugs, sex, violence, trauma.
