All Malachi really wanted was a lover. He loved so hard but the only thing girls wanted was his body. He didn't want that, he wanted his partner to have his mind, his heart, his soul. But no girl wanted him like he would've wanted them, until he and some blonde girl got paired together for a group science project. Really? REALLY?? Freya had wanted to do this damn project by herself but noooo, Mr. Clancy just HAD to pair her with the freaking hockey idiot. The universe just screwed her over so hard. Like really? Malachi Barton? Out of everyone, Clancy picked him?

Fralachi one-shots cause I think I have genuinely read all of the ones available..

Everyone thinks Freya is trouble. She skips class, smells like cigarettes, climbs out of bedroom windows after midnight, and never lets anyone close enough to ask why. Malachi certainly isn't planning on becoming her babysitter. He's already exhausted trying to keep his reckless little sister, Kylie, alive. When Kylie starts dragging Freya into every bad decision imaginable, Malachi decides he's done watching from the sidelines. He starts driving them places just so they don't walk home alone. He waits outside parties. He patches scraped knees. He takes cigarettes away. He argues. He lectures. He protects. But somewhere between late-night phone calls, panic attacks, and chasing Freya through rain-soaked streets... Protecting her stops feeling like a responsibility. It becomes an obsession. He can't sleep unless he knows she's home. He memorizes every scar on her hands. He notices when she skips meals. He starts carrying her favorite snacks in his truck "just in case." And before long, everyone notices the same thing- Malachi isn't just looking after Freya anymore. He's completely, hopelessly obsessed with keeping her safe. The problem? Freya has spent her entire life running from people who tried to control her. So what happens when the one person she'd trust with her life slowly becomes the one she can't imagine living without?

Freya Skye came to college hoping for a fresh start-one where she could keep her head down, survive the nerves, and maybe, eventually, find where she belongs. She didn't plan on sharing a dorm. She definitely didn't plan on sharing it with Malachi. He's loud where she's quiet, calm where she's anxious, and somehow, from the very beginning, being around him just... makes things easier. What starts as a random roommate situation turns into late-night talks, shared routines, and a friendship neither of them expected-but both of them start to depend on. Before long, they're inseparable. And everyone notices. Between chaotic drop-ins from friends, constant teasing, and the growing feeling that there's something more between them, Freya and Malachi find themselves stuck in a space that isn't quite just friendship anymore-but isn't anything else yet, either. But behind Malachi's easy smile is something he doesn't let anyone see. Something he hides from everyone... except Freya. And as she becomes the one person he trusts in his worst moments, the line between "best friend" and "something more" starts to blur in ways neither of them know how to handle. Because when someone becomes your calm... losing them isn't an option.

"Loyalty before love-until love becomes the only loyalty that matters." Malachi has three rules: Kill threats. Protect family. Never love. Freya breaks all three. In a city ruled by shadows, loyalty is everything-and love is a liability. Freya Skye was never meant to cross paths with the mafia. Soft-spoken, observant, and fiercely loyal to the people she loves, she believes in goodness even when the world gives her every reason not to. But one wrong moment, one glance held too long, and Freya is pulled into a world where silence keeps you alive and trust can get you killed. Malachi Barton has been raised to rule that world. As the heir to one of the most powerful crime families, Malachi knows only control, violence, and loyalty forged in blood. He doesn't hesitate. He doesn't fall. And he certainly doesn't protect civilians-until Freya becomes the exception to every rule he's ever lived by. Hiding her should have been temporary. Protecting her should have been strategic. Falling for her was never supposed to happen. Surrounded by a dangerously loyal inner circle-his sharp-witted best friend MK, the reckless yet brilliant Percy Jackson, and the calculating Annabeth Chase-Malachi must decide how far he's willing to go to keep Freya safe. Meanwhile, Freya leans on her fearless best friend Sway as the lines between right and wrong blur beyond recognition. Because in Malachi's world, love isn't gentle. It's ruthless. And touching her comes with a death sentence. In a game built on power and betrayal, choosing her might be the one decision that destroys them all.

Freya and Malachi agree on two things and two things only: They do not get along. And they HATE each other At all. So naturally, their coaches put them on the same team. Forced into combined training, scratch matches, and way too much time on the same pitch, Freya is convinced Malachi is the most annoying person alive. Malachi thinks Freya is infuriating. Which would be fine... if he didn't keep looking at her like that. And if she didn't keep noticing. Liv and Mk 100% notice. And everyone else can see what's happening. Except them. Oh, and Finn, Freya's twin
