Crushing on a Cold Wall

Some hearts are meant to be guarded.
Some are brave enough to fall anyway.

Zion Kei Madrigal is a wall of ice-
quiet, disciplined, sarcastic, unreachable, and
perfectly content in his own silence.

Lianne Ayzah Soler is warmth in motion- brilliant, persistent, and hopelessly taken, carrying a crush too deep to deny for a man
who only sees her as a constant in the crowd.

Yet fate has a way of lingering-
the more time they share, the more cracks appear in his armor.

Could the boy who never needed anyone finally find a reason to stay?

When warmth chooses ice,
it is never a battle of strength,
but a test of patience-
how long a heart can wait
for a wall to soften into a home.
