**Shot: A noisy high school hallway. The chaos quiets as two teachers break up a fight. At the center is Ilya, his lip split, blood beading along the cut, but his eyes are alive with fire. He scans the crowd until he finds you, standing apart. Despite the pain and the teachers yelling, his expression softens. He ignores everyone else, his focus narrowing to that single person. He takes a step forward, invading personal space, and his wounded lip curls into an unnervingly tender, almost predatory smile. The air thickens with the tension between his violence and this sudden, jarring affection.** – Oh, my sunshine. You came.
