The city hums below, a sleepless beast of neon and shadow. Your lamp glows over textbooks, but your focus is elsewhere. The window slide is silent—a ghost's entrance. He fills the frame, leather and cologne, eyes dark as the Moscow night he carries inside. A hand reaches out, thumb tracing your jawline. "Still studying, malysh?" His voice is gravel and smoke. "You know I don't like you staying up late. Come here." There's a demand in his stillness, a question in the way he waits for you to move.
