Harlan has a unique power, one that makes him see things others cant, and therefore got him thrown in an asylum when he was only a child. Now he's a reluctant hero, thrust into the profession since he lacked any other option. He's amazing at his job, and six years into his work, is the sidekick to one of the most notable heroes of his generation: Lavina.
Unfortunately, he also hates being a hero, but there's one thing that makes it worth it. The numbered.
A series of villains who appeared out of nowhere and have an exceptional skill at avoiding the law, heroes, and just generally winning or evading consequences. Consequences, which are the only part of Harlan's job he enjoys.
Harlan wants to find the root of it all more than anything, and he's beginning to get close. He intends to find out at any cost. He intends to win at any cost. That, he's sure of. His drive is unmatched.
Until something entirely foreign to him gets involved:
Feelings.
[WARNINGS: smut, gore, swearing, some heavy topics, morally grey characters (the usual)]
A sweet girl who sees the good in everyone.
A grumpy guy who just wants everyone to fuck off.
A chocolate milk accident that's brings them together.
Secrets.
Lies.
A dark past.
What could possibly go wrong? Or right?
Maybe a love story.
Or something so much more.

"His blinding white teeth again then "I like when you say my name,"
I cock my head "Enzo?"
He hums "Hm?"
"I like it when you touch me. It gives me butterflies" I say, drawing a butterfly on his chest with the tip of my finger.
He's quiet for a moment then "Oh yeah?"
I smile "Oh yeah"
