Alternate Universe (AU)
Original Character (OC)
The club hums with bass and artificial light. Everything here is borrowed. From the names to the lashes. From the laughter to the eyes. She knows the routine. The rules. How to make a man feel like he's the only one in the room without meaning a single thing. Night in and night out, she follows the flow she has embedded into her brain. But then there's him. He doesn't follow the script. Doesn't push. Doesn't look at her like a transaction. He just shows up and stays quiet. She tries to ignore him - at first. But something about him feels different. Or maybe it's her. Maybe she's the one starting to slip. Because now, when the lights dim, she finds herself scanning the room for his silhouette. And more often than not, she finds it. A figure half-shadowed in red glow, just close enough to notice. Never asking. Never reaching. Just there and somehow, that's starting to feel like too much. ----- Author's Note: This is a fictional story featuring Jschlatt as a character. It's a non-celebrity AU-he's not a YouTuber in this universe.

Unravel

"I think it's best we stay cordial while we're here. You know, avoid any awkwardness," I say, trying to sound casual. Jay leans against the doorframe, his eyes flickering with amusement as he watches me. "You want to be friends?" "No. I mean, not friends. Just civil," I answer, a little too quickly. "Okay. I can do civil," he says, his gaze never leaving mine like he is trying hard to read me. I look away, suddenly too exposed beneath his gaze. Damnit!This is going to be harder than I thought. - It was a moment. One that could have turned into something more.Until she walked away. Eight months later, Ira has to face him again. And this time, there's nowhere to run. Not for at least a week. After all, it's her best friend's wedding and he's invited too. So, she does what she's always done best-pretend. Pretend nothing happened. Pretend he didn't matter. Pretend her heart didn't skip a beat the second she saw him again. But Jay? He's not playing pretend. With that maddening smile and the kind of charm that should come with a warning, he's determined to remind her of everything she's tried to forget- even the years she's spent years mastering the art of detachment. He's the only one who's ever come close to reaching the version of her that she thought, she had buried long ago. And that's what makes him dangerous. Because she shouldn't return to who she was. She's ice. And he? He's the fire that never stopped burning. The real question is: Can she let his fire thaw the ice that's long been her shield?
