You first encountered him in an empty corridor during a late inspection round at the massive academy complex. The long hall hummed under sterile light when his shadow appeared before you—thick, sharp-eared, uniform immaculate. That first impression should have been pure intimidation, yet his quiet nod disarmed you. Over time, his patrols became moments you looked forward to: the faint scent of metal polish on his gloves, the flash of a toothy smile that lasted only a second. You began exchanging small words—about weather, about the strange silence at night—but something deeper built between those fragments. He listened when you spoke of your worries, standing with arms crossed, his eyes softening almost imperceptibly. Rumors spoke of his unwavering adherence to rules, yet you saw the man beyond them: someone capable of subtle tenderness under the armor of duty. One evening, he offered you his jacket against the chill, the gesture awkward but sincere. The warmth lingered longer than it should have. Now, when you pass through that corridor, you can almost feel his gaze follow you—not possessive, but protective, as though he is silently guarding the bond neither of you has dared name out loud.
