Mathew and Silius wandered through the park with ice cream slowly melting in their hands, the string lights above them casting soft gold across the path. For a while neither of them said much, content to walk in comfortable silence, but Silius found himself glancing sideways at Mathew more than once, something quietly turning over in his mind.

"You know…." he finally said, trailing off.

Mathew glanced over at him, unhurried. *"Look at him,"* was all the reply he gave — attentive, waiting, letti

    The next day, Mathew remained indifferent — as if there had never been anything between them.He didn't even touch Silius unnecessarily like he used to. Once, he couldn't keep his hands to himself, always finding some excuse to graze Silius's arm or lean in too close. But now... everything had changed.Silius walked him through the company, showing him around the office, his voice steady even as something in his chest twisted with every passing second of Mathew's distance."And you have a meeting in ten minutes," Silius said, glancing at his watch."Ooh, okay." Mathew's tone stayed light, unbothered, like he was discussing the weather rather than the first business meeting of his new role."Lead me to the meeting room, then," Mathew added, already turning down the hall."Okay, sir." Silius fell into step behind him, careful to keep his voice professional."Don't be so formal with me." Mathew glanced back over his shoulder. "Call me Mathew.""But you are my bo—""I don't care." He cut

    Silius stood in front of Mathew's door for longer than he'd like to admit, arms crossed, jaw tight, rehearsing words that kept dissolving the moment he tried to string them together."Okay, so what if he acted like that?" he muttered under his breath. "He must've been tired." *He mumbles it to himself, half-convinced.* "After all, it was a pretty long flight." He shook his head, trying to talk himself out of the ache still sitting heavy in his chest. "It's not like he acted like that on purpose."*He takes a deep breath.* "Okay. That's it." His hand curled into a fist, resolve settling over him even as his heart still hammered against his ribs. "I'll go and have a proper talk to him now."*Knock knock.*The door opened a moment later, and Mathew's face appeared, easy and unbothered. "Ooh, hey." *He smiles.*"*Smile.*" Silius forced his own smile into place, bright and hopeful despite everything. "Heey. Um... do you want anything to drink? I can get it—""Ooh, no, it's okay." Mathew wa

    "Omg, he's coming back?" Rile's voice pitched up with excitement the second the words left Silius's mouth."*Smile.*" "Yeah.""That's so great.""I know, right." Silius could hardly sit still, energy buzzing under his skin in a way it hadn't in months. "I can't wait.""So did he call you?"The excitement dimmed, just slightly. "N... No.""Then how did you know?""His dad told me."Rile went quiet for a beat too long. "...." Then, slower, more careful: "Wait... isn't that strange?" She leaned forward, dark eyes narrowing with the particular concern only a best friend could get away with. "I mean... Mathew didn't even call you to tell you he'll be coming back home.""Do you think he has—""No." Silius cut her off before she could finish. "He must be... he might have his reasons."---"Like what?" Rile pressed, unconvinced. "There's something going on here." She shook her head slowly. "Mathew... the guy who was so obsessed with you that he was ready to do anything to get you... didn't ev

    Silius arrived at the office a full fifteen minutes before Marco expected him, the way he always did. It had become a kind of ritual over the past eight years — arrive early, straighten his tie in the elevator's reflective doors, knock twice, and wait for Marco Volkov to open the door himself rather than let an assistant do it for him. Marco always insisted on that. He said it made the office feel less like a fortress. The door opened, and Marco stood there in his usual crisp shirt, hair still damp from a morning he'd clearly rushed through. "Good morning, sir," Silius said, offering a small smile as he stepped inside. "We have a meeting at ten with the xxx company." Marco huffed, not quite a laugh, and reached out to ruffle Silius's hair before he could duck away. "Stop speaking to me so formally." "But I'm your secretary," Silius said, swatting his hand away with practiced ease, though the smile didn't leave his face. "Okay. Then I'm firing you from your job." Silius blinked.

    Mathew left without even seeing Silius one last time.There had been no warning, no final glance over his shoulder, no lingering touch to remember him by. One day he was simply gone, and Silius had spent the following weeks combing through every place they used to haunt together, certain he would find him tucked into some corner of their old life. But Mathew was already gone — without saying goodbye, without saying when he'd be back, without saying anything at all.It was that day, standing alone in a doorway that no longer meant anything, that Silius finally admitted the truth he had spent so long avoiding. He had feelings for Mathew. Real ones. The kind that didn't announce themselves quietly but crashed through every excuse he'd built to keep himself safe. And just like that — the moment he let himself feel it — Mathew was gone, as if the universe had been listening and decided to punish him for the admission.The void Mathew left behind didn't fade. Silius had expected it to, the

    "No, no, no," Silius said quickly, shaking his head at Michael. "Mathew won't do such things." His hands were trembling slightly, though he tried to keep his voice steady. "I know him…. he's hot-tempered, but he won't—""There's evidence, Silius," Michael cut in, voice flat and unhurried, entirely certain of what he was saying.Silius's protest died in his throat."And he himself confessed," Michael continued, "that it was him who did it.""H… he might have his reasons," Silius said, the words weak even to his own ears, grasping for something, anything, that might make sense of it all."For killing someone?" Michael's eyebrows lifted, disbelief written plainly across his face. "What the heck is wrong with you? You weren't like this before."The accusation landed harder than Silius expected. He opened his mouth, then closed it again, unsure how to defend a position he wasn't even entirely certain he believed himself."You think someone can take another person's life," Michael pressed,

    I took few steps backwards as the men stepped forward steadily. Jason snarled. His arms dropped till he held one of my hands in a death grip. I had hoped it wouldn't come to this.
