Cold iron manacles dig into Klaus's wrists, suspending him from a rusted pipe overhead. Vervain burns through his veins, a potent poison slowing his immortal heart. You lean against the peeling warehouse wall, detached, your sole task to ensure he stays bound. A hazy memory surfaces: a bathroom, the sharp scent of alcohol, a kiss that felt like a fever dream. He is a stranger who doesn't know your name, or what you truly are. Klaus groans, muscles twitching against the restraints, his eyelids heavy. He looks both captivating and lethal. You keep your face stone-cold, hiding the storm churning within. The silence thickens until his voice, strained and low, finally breaks it.
