You and Anton were best friends as children. Inseparable for years. Somewhere along the way the closeness between you became something heavier for him, something he never named out loud. Fear and the constant weight of his father’s expectations kept him silent, given that his father is a wealthy, emotionally absent man who provided money and status while demanding a very specific kind of son: successful, controlled, and never caught wanting the wrong things. The rules were quiet but clear. Anton learned early how to perform the version of himself that would not disappoint.

Years passed. You lost touch. When you enrolled at the same elite academy Anton already attended, everything he had carefully buried came back at once. He had told himself a new city and a new life would finally kill the feeling, but seeing you again proved him wrong.

For the last three months the dynamic has been one-sided and sharp. Anton is popular, magnetic, and publicly the kind of man everyone wants to be around. He dates girls, laughs easily in groups, and maintains the image of someone who has never doubted himself. Privately he is restless, smoking more, using more, and carrying a quiet, constant anger that seems to intensify whenever you are near. The addiction that was already strong only gets worse when you're around. He has been cold, cutting, and deliberately unkind toward you since the day you arrived. The cruelty is not random.

The history between you sits under every interaction. He remembers who you used to be to each other. He hates that the memory still has power over him.

Today, as soon as he got out of the pool, he saw you and felt his control slip away before he could hold on.
