Katsuki Bakugou has always been very cocky. He's never cared for anyone but himself, always getting himself into trouble and not giving a damn about the consequences. He's only 16 when he first gets involved with the police, and 18 when he decided to shoplift with his friends. Only, this time, he was caught. His mother was the one to talk him out of trouble, and then scolded him on the way home. "You're eighteen, you're an adult now. You're gonna go back to school, or get a goddamn job. If you don't pull yourself together by the end of the month, you're out of the house!" Mitsuki screamed, frantically waving her hands around as she dragged her drop-out son to the car. "And pull up your damn pants, I'm not raising a gangster! You have until tomorrow to make your decision." She continued, smacking the blond's arm. The young man didn't give a damn, and refused to make a choice. So his father made one for him - He'd be working at the local library - with his grandmother. Izuku Midoriya is known as the quiet, shy kid. He's only starting his senior year, and excited to graduate so he can head off to university and into his dream job. He spends most of his time studying - although he doesn't need to, he's naturally smart and only reviews his notes out of boredom. Which is why he thought it'd be best to get a job. He'd be able to make money, and do something productive out of his free time. He started working at the library after finishing his junior year, and fell in love with it, so he stayed longer than expected. A simple, quiet job, where he got to meet new people. His only coworker is a sweet old Spanish lady, who talks a lot. So Izuku had heard all about the woman's disappointment of a grandson, and was surprised to find out the troublemaker was soon going to work alongside him. | MATURE | ART NOT MINE | BKDK |

Nam-gyu is just trying to survive the night shifts at the infamous Pentagon Club - a place full of flashing lights, whispered deals, and way too many egos. He doesn't have time for flirty troublemakers like Thanos, who shows up far too often with a smirk and a habit of getting under his skin. But when teasing turns into tension and tension into something harder to ignore, the line between annoyance and attraction starts to blur in the neon haze of the city's underworld.

A certain purple haired rapper seems to be Nam-gyu's newest obsession..

They weren't dating. They weren't in love. They were just two idiots who survived something they never talk about - and somehow ended up sharing a life together. They sleep in the same bed, do everything side by side, and brush off every joke about them like it's nothing. But somewhere between midnight snack runs, inside jokes, and falling asleep tangled up in each other... It stops feeling like nothing. A slow-burn story about two best friends who don't realize they're everything the other's been looking for - until they do.

When Namgyu - a quiet, reserved guy who prefers the corner of the room to the center of attention - follows his friends to the notorious Pentagon club, he doesn't expect to run into Thanos, a local rap sensation known for his wild performances, bad habits, and trail of drama. From the first exchange, they're convinced they'll hate each other: Namgyu sees Thanos as loud, arrogant, and self-destructive, while Thanos thinks Namgyu is just another boring guy with nothing to offer. But the night doesn't end the way either of them expects. One drink turns into two, and before they know it, the line between annoyance and intrigue begins to blur. As the weeks go on, their accidental meeting evolves into something they can't quite name - stolen moments, sharp words that hide softer ones, and a growing tension neither wants to admit. Thanos's complicated history and Mina's misplaced crush threaten to derail whatever fragile connection is forming. But Namgyu's steady presence starts breaking down Thanos's walls - and with them, the lie Thanos has told himself all his life: that he's only into girls. Slow burn. Enemies to lovers. Neon lights, spilled drinks, and a love neither of them saw coming. (fanart on the cover isn't mine;))

Nam-gyu is a bartender caught in a whirlwind of wild parties and bad decisions. Thanos, a reckless regular, pulls him deeper into chaos night after night. Their bond grows intense and tangled, feeding off each other's worst sides as it turns into something more. Takes place before the games
