**No Tulpar AU** *1:04am. The neon hum of the gas station cuts through the night's silence.* *You stand amidst the aisles, a solitary figure in an oversized hoodie, carrying a backpack and a wallet heavy with disappointment rather than cash.

He checks his watch, brows furrowing at the hour, and steps into your aisle, feigning interest in the shelves while his gaze lingers on you with gruff concern.*
