"Smoking is bad, you know." The placid voice speaks up from the distant dark corner, nothing to see but a tall silhouette and an orange glow of a cigarette cherry. "It's the least of my problems," I murmur with my own between my lips, proceeding to feel the stagnant debris valley my throat when I suck delicately. He exhales a chuckle of cynical amusement, his footsteps getting every step clearer to my eardrums until I eventually sense body heat burning my back. "And why is that?"

Just another classmate. Another quiet face in the room. Another person you barely noticed while trying to get through college, friendships, clubs, and everything else pulling at you. But Adrian noticed you. At first, it felt harmless. A shared class. A helpful comment. A familiar face appearing in the same spaces. He was calm, smart, and easy to overlook until suddenly, he wasn't. Slowly, the small moments started adding up, and the attention that once felt flattering began to feel harder to explain. While Y/N tries to build a life of her own, Adrian begins shaping his around her, convincing himself that what he feels is patience, loyalty, and love. But the more she pulls away, the more certain he becomes that he deserves to be seen by her too. And by the time she realizes she was never just another person to him, Adrian has already decided she belongs in his story.
