Bruised Hearts, Gentle Hands by darkssole

She was sold to the highest bidder-a man cloaked in silence and rumors, the kind of man girls like Lina Serrano are warned about. Adrian Moretti didn't buy her to break her. He bought her because she looked at the world like it hadn't already taken everything from her. Lina was supposed to be quiet, obedient, afraid. Instead, she sketches monsters with kind eyes, wanders his halls like she belongs, and asks him questions he hasn't let himself answer in years. He doesn't touch her. He doesn't raise his voice. But every word he speaks chips away at the walls she built to survive. She was meant to be a transaction. Instead, she becomes his undoing. In a world of blood, power, and unspoken pain, what begins with bruised hearts may just end in gentle hands-and a love worth burning everything down for. Trigger warnings: Past trauma, emotional recovery, references to violence (non-graphic), slow burn, safe but dangerous man.

Diego, a boy born through poverty and the harshness of Capitalism. Meets Elias, a boy who's family benefitted from Capitalism for ages. How do they meet you ask? Elias works at a Subway his parents own, and out of all the stores to rob, Diego chooses his. Diego pays, of course, because he's the type of guy who doesn't want a stranger to get into trouble with his parents. Elias offers Diego a job, because instead of learning how to make change Elias hires people to fix his problems. Between the tension of the store getting robbed/robbing the store, and the both of them looking fine as hell. Of course, there's mutual tension. If only Elias's lifelong family friend, Olivia, didn't find out about Diego.
