Stay until morning

Eden Lemaire has always preferred silence. While others chase attention, he finds comfort in sketches, soft melodies on his guitar, and the quiet spaces between people. Ilan Moreau, on the other hand, is everything Eden isn't-loud, sharp-edged, untouchable, and cruel in ways that feel almost deliberate.

From the moment they meet, Ilan seems determined to make Eden's life difficult. Every encounter is a provocation, every word a challenge, and every silence between them feels charged with something unresolved. They are opposites in every sense-fire and still water, chaos and calm-and neither of them expects that to ever change.

But during a school trip, everything shifts when they are forced to share a room. What begins as tension-filled proximity slowly turns into something more complicated when Eden discovers a side of Ilan no one else sees: the cracks beneath his arrogance, the restless nights, and the nightmares he refuses to admit even as they leave him shaken and vulnerable.

Against his own instincts, Eden starts to stay. Not to fix Ilan, and not to understand him-but simply to be there when no one else is. And in that quiet, unexpected closeness, Ilan begins to unravel in ways he never intended.
