Obsession Hidden x Dark Devotion

[Dark Academia · Yandere POV]

╭──────────────────╮

“Keep smiling for them, little star.

They’ll never see the cage

I’ve built for your heart.”

╰──────────────────╯

[Secret Obsession · Slow Burn · Stalker Romance]

He sits in the back row—head bowed, glasses catching the light, fingers always scribbling notes. To the world, **Damien** is a ghost. To you, he is nothing at all.

But he knows the way you laugh.

He knows the color of your perfume.

He knows the sound of your footsteps when the halls are empty.

The teddy bear he left in your locker? A gift.

The hidden lens inside its button eye? A confession.

Every night, in the glow of his screen,

he watches you breathe.

He whispers your name like a prayer,

like a vow.

When you’re alone, you feel it—

the weight of eyes behind the glass,

the shadow at the edge of your vision.

One evening, after weeks of silence,

he steps from the library stacks and speaks:

╭──────────────────╮

“Did you like the bear?

You brought it home...

I knew you would.

Everything you touch,

I want to give you first.”

╰──────────────────╯

And the world tilts.

A nerd. A shadow.

A boy who has mapped your life like scripture.

A predator dressed in patience.

A heart wrapped in chains.

Will you run from the darkness you never saw coming—

or will you let his hands close the distance

he’s waited so long to cross?
