Ongoing, First published Oct 31, 2025
She never wanted to meet him - not the Malachi Barton, Hollywood's rising star.
But when their worlds collide, nothing goes as planned.
She's quiet, cautious, and way too used to hiding behind her books and music.
He's confident, loud, and everything she promised herself to avoid.

They were never supposed to get along.
But somehow, between the late-night talks, stolen glances, and unexpected laughter, she realizes - maybe enemies don't stay enemies forever.

Malachi had never believed in the idea of fate-not until the moment he first laid eyes on Freya. It wasn't anything dramatic. No slow-motion entrance. No perfectly timed background music. She was just there, quietly tucked into a corner of a bustling café, her attention fixed on a worn sketchbook and the lines she carefully traced across its pages. She didn't look around or try to be seen. She was completely content in her own little world-and that was exactly what made Malachi stop mid-step. There was something magnetic about her. The way she carried herself-calm, self-contained, almost unapproachable-wasn't from arrogance, but from an inner peace he couldn't quite understand. She wore headphones, one earbud in, the other draped over her shoulder like she couldn't decide if she wanted to be part of the world or escape from it entirely. To anyone else, she might have seemed like just another quiet girl minding her business. But to Malachi, she was an unanswered question he suddenly needed to solve. From that instant, it wasn't a matter of if he'd try to know her-it was how. Something in his gut told him this wasn't going to be easy. She didn't seem like the type to trust quickly. She had walls, and he could sense them. But something about her made him want to climb those walls, no matter how high they were. He hadn't even heard her voice yet. And still, Malachi knew: He needed to get close to her. He needed to know who she was. And he'd do whatever it took to make that happen.

❝ it was just an escape room... right? ❞ ✧˖°. ☽ 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 ♡☁︎ Valentina Cherry Perez isn't used to strangers. She sings to arenas, but barely speaks in a room of four. She's quiet, guarded, and as the media calls her-the new Christina Aguilera. But really? She's just a girl who hides behind her best friend Manon and avoids eye contact whenever possible. Malachi Barton is nothing like her. He talks too much. Jokes too loud. Fills silence like it's a challenge. Known for Disney shows and his effortless charm, he's sunshine that refuses to dim-even when Valentina barely acknowledges him. They're paired together in an escape room. And it should've been awkward. It was. He ranted about cartoons, aliens, why blue raspberry is a scam. She rolled her eyes, lips pressed, pretending not to care. But secretly? She was memorizing every word. When it ended, he asked for her number. She gave it. He leaned in for a hug. She stepped back. ❝ Too soon? ❞ he asked, arms mid-air. ❝ Yeah, ❞ she muttered, not meeting his eyes. It should've ended there. But now, she replays his laugh when she can't sleep. And he scrolls to her contact and types without sending. They don't talk. But they think. Constantly. They say nothing happened. But why does it feel like everything changed? ✧˚ · . . . UNFINISHED ♡✧ ❝ You remember what I said about dreams? ❞ he texts one night. ❝ Stop, ❞ she types back. ❝ You do remember, though. ❞ She doesn't answer. But she's still staring at the screen. ✩ One hour in a locked room turned into something neither of them expected. Now they're trying to escape each other. And failing. ✧ Maybe silence isn't safety after all. ❀☽♡ strangers to friends to lovers malachi barton x oc Enjoy!🥳
