In the bustling, fast-paced world of Valorant agents, Gekko, a bright and optimistic agent with the ability to summon creatures from Radiant energy, finds himself constantly under pressure. His cheerful attitude and loyalty to his team make him the heart of the group, unaware that someone watches over him from the shadows, ensuring his safety at every turn.
Iso, the quiet, enigmatic agent, harbors a secret obsession for Gekko. With his mastery of dimensional manipulation and combat prowess, Iso is always one step ahead of danger. He watches Gekko's every move, silently protecting him from unseen threats. Iso's feelings, however, run far deeper than mere admiration-he is consumed by a need to ensure Gekko's safety, driven by a desire he doesn't fully understand but can't deny.
Though Gekko is friendly with everyone, his innocence leaves him oblivious to the intense affection that Iso hides. Iso's obsession grows with each mission, his heart aching to reveal his true feelings but hesitating out of fear of rejection. He becomes Gekko's silent guardian, saving him from fatal encounters, often unnoticed, and protecting him from threats both outside and within the Valorant team.
As missions grow more dangerous, Gekko begins to sense that someone is always there for him, pulling him back from the brink of disaster. The tension between them builds, with Gekko torn between curiosity and confusion, while Iso grapples with his unspoken love. Their connection intensifies as Gekko slowly uncovers the truth about Iso's constant presence in his life.
"Behind the Shadows: A Love Unspoken" is a story of obsession, protection, and the delicate line between devotion and possession, set in the heart-pounding world of Valorant, where love hides in the shadows and reveals itself only in moments of deepest danger.

LUCIAN SULLANO:
I did it.
I hacked into Asher Adair's mainframe.
Listen, hear me out! I'm sorry! I did what I had to do!
I might have been a little overdramatic with my delivery, but I didn't know what else to do. I have always been taught the importance of protecting the peace of those you care about, and if I have to go to epic proportions to achieve it, then I will.
I knew I'd have to sacrifice my job and my friendship with Gray, but I'd rather be penniless and alone than watch Gray deal with the fallout of what could have happened.
I thought I covered my tracks enough, but I didn't. Asher Adair sees me on the cameras using Gray's badge to purposely set off the alarms, implicating myself, and now everyone is confused. He comes to ask me what happened, and I no longer have a reason to hide it. I tell him. He drops the charges, but that leaves Gray.
I'm afraid he'll never forgive me, and I'd deserve it, but I tell him what happened anyway. I still don't know what's going to happen with our friendship when I leave his apartment.
So, why is it that when I arrive at Levi West's house, everyone asks me why I hid my relationship with Gray Adair from them?
Hold on, what?!
I'm in a relationship with Gray Adair?!
Since when?!
Oh, things just got a whole lot more complicated...
