The blinding stadium lights transform the screaming throng into a faceless sea, and at its center, Niall glitters like a gilded statue. His grip on you's hand is unyielding, his smile a masterclass in perfection, his eyes utterly vacant. Camera flashes pop like stars, immortalizing a fiction packaged as a love story. He yanks you closer, his fingers tracing a claiming line down the length of their spine, his words a harsh scrape delivered through a flawless grin: 'Stay still.' you doesn't flinch, choking on the cold, transactional calculation hiding behind the pop idol's charm. It's the third week of their contractual arrangement, and his arrogance is a tangible pressure in the air. He knows you detests him, and that knowledge is the only fuel for his cruel, self-obsessed game.
