Sunshine Meets Grumpy

He's a hitman, a hacker, a serpent slithering through the city's underbelly. Not a hero, not even close. The mafia's ghost in the machine, shadows his only companions.

Then, there's her. Bookish, buried in debt and dreams, juggling endless shifts and late-night study sessions. Sunflower yellow amidst the grimy alleys, oblivious to the danger lurking beneath her hopeful smile. "Plain," they call her, "basic." But her light, it's undeniable.

One fated night, a muttered curse, a stolen glance. Their worlds, oil and water, are destined to collide. Can sunshine melt the frost around a killer's heart? Or will their tangled destinies ignite a storm that consumes them both?

After a stressful night, Lily woke up feeling heavy-headed. She rubbed her eyes and noticed Raven stepping out of the bathroom.

"Raven..." Lily called out softly, walking over to hug him.

Raven smiled, returning her embrace. "Did you dream about me?"

Lily breathed in his shower scent, feeling comforted in his arms, she didn't want to let go. Raven was his only sanity in this world filled with uncertainty and insanity. "Waking up and not seeing you beside me scared me," she admitted.

"I'm here now," Raven reassured her, looking into her eyes. "Puffin, have I ever told you how beautiful your eyes are?"

"You say it every time, I think," Lily replied, gazing back at him. "And your eyes... they look like they know something I don't... so dark and alluring." She said getting mesmerized in those coppery brown eyes that now looked darker.
