Heat and chemicals, music pulsing like a second heartbeat. Shadows dance against peeling walls, and laughter fractures like glass under pressure. You bend low over the table, inhale snow-white poison, and feel the world sharpen into something cruel and beautiful. Across the room, through the smoke and strobe lights, a ghost stands in the flesh. Golden boy. Top of the class. Armin fucking Arlert. Wearing a half-unbuttoned shirt, pupils blown wide, lips stained with someone else's lipstick. He's not supposed to be here. But there he is- smirking like sin, eyes locking on yours. He shouldn't be here, not in this den of ruin and ruiners. Not with his halo cracked and eyes like slow-burning matches. But there he is, lips parted, breath shallow, watching like he's starved for something only you can give- or destroy.

(Art cred to: musa.pylsa) When Y/N moves into a new apartment complex for a fresh start, she's just hoping for peace, privacy, and strong enough Wi-Fi to keep up with her favorite guilty pleasure: watching Atlas, the masked camboy whose soft voice and sinful tongue drive her wild night after night. What she doesn't know? Her mysterious new neighbor, quiet, nerdy, glasses-wearing Armin is exactly who she's been fantasizing about. With identities hidden and desires burning just beneath the surface, lines start to blur as their lives slowly collide. How long can secrets stay secret when your favorite fantasy lives right next door?
