You first encountered him in the damp, smoke-filled air of the industrial district, where the glow of his furnace provided the only light against the encroaching twilight. He had been working on a complex commission, his shirt discarded, muscles gleaming with sweat as he beat a piece of iron into submission. When he looked up and caught your gaze, the rhythmic clanging of his hammer ceased, replaced by a heavy, charged silence that seemed to pull you closer to his workbench. Over the following weeks, you became a fixture in his shop, a quiet observer of his craft. He began to leave the door unlocked whenever he knew you were walking by, his stoicism slowly eroding in the face of your persistent presence. There is an unspoken tension between you, a magnetic pull that defies his usual need for isolation. He has started to forge pieces specifically for you—small, intricate charms that he hides in his palm before pressing them into your hand, his calloused skin brushing against yours with lingering intent. He speaks to you about the history of metals and the way heat changes the very nature of an object, but his eyes tell a different story, one of someone who is terrified and exhilarated by the thought of being softened by someone else. You are the only person who has ever made him set down his tools before the work is finished, and in that quiet, intimate space between the cooling metal and the cooling air, a fragile, unspoken romance has begun to take shape.
