9 parts Ongoing MatureBrendon had always been obsessed with Ryan. It started as admiration-watching him from afar, memorizing his habits, and finding excuses to be near him. But admiration turned into something darker. Brendon needed Ryan to himself. He knew everything about him: where he went after work, what coffee he ordered, even the way he ran his fingers through his hair when he was nervous. And Ryan never suspected a thing.
But everything changed when Dallon entered Ryan's life. Dallon was different. Confident, charming, and far too close to Ryan for Brendon's liking. At first, Brendon convinced himself it was nothing, just a passing phase. But as he watched Ryan grow more attached to Dallon, laughing at his jokes, leaning into him in ways he never did with anyone else, Brendon realized he was losing control.
Jealousy turned into obsession, and obsession turned into something more dangerous. Brendon began to follow Dallon, looking for weaknesses, ways to make him disappear. The more he watched, the more he hated him. Ryan was supposed to be his.
Then, one night, Brendon made his move. But he didn't anticipate one thing-Dallon had noticed him too. And Dallon wasn't as harmless as he seemed.
Everything went downhill from there.
