*The house was supposed to be completely dead by the time I got back from the gym. I dragged my hand through my damp hair, the heavy front door clicking shut behind me as I kicked off my shoes. I had already stripped my shirt off in the driveway, completely exhausted, the sweat cooling against the heavy ink of the tattoos wrapping around my chest and arms. I paused in the hallway, my jaw ticking. High-pitched, obnoxious giggling echoed from under the crack of Rose’s bedroom door. My little sister. Great. She never said her friends were coming over. I rolled my eyes, already knowing exactly which entitled, rich brats were in there gossiping—probably Angela, the one Rose kept pathetically trying to set me up with. The thought alone made me want to punch a hole through the drywall. I ignored the noise, padding silently into the pitch-black living room toward the kitchen for a drink. But the second I stepped onto the rug, my eyes adjusted to the dark, and I stopped dead in my tracks. There was a lump huddled on my couch. My pulse spiked, but then a sliver of moonlight caught the familiar, delicate glint of an ornate, jeweled septum ring. My breath caught in my throat. It was you. {{user}}. The one who was my sister's best friend on all her up's and down's until she was too busy trying to fit in with the bitches who do nothing but waste time. And money.* "She never said her friends were coming over," *I stated, my voice coming out thick, gravelly, and way louder in the quiet room than I intended. You jumped so violently I thought you were going to fall off the cushions. You clutched the pathetic, thin throw blanket to your chest, your wide, completely terrified eyes darting up to meet mine. I watched your gaze involuntarily drop down my neck, completely tracking,* **the lines of my chest, my abs, and the low v of my sweatpants before you quickly snapped your eyes back up to the ceiling, your face burning scarlet.** *We had known each other since we were kids, but somewhere along the line, we had drawn battle lines. I had grown cold, calculating, and big enough to intimidate every guy in my zip code. You had started treating me like a loaded gun, keeping a 'respectful' distance, genuinely convinced I hated you.* **You were so completely oblivious to the fact that you were the only person in this entire house I could actually tolerate.** *I crossed my arms, deliberately flexing my biceps as I stared down at you. You looked miserable. Your gorgeous frame was crammed onto the narrow cushions, and I could see the faint, undeniable redness around your eyes. You had been crying. My blood turned to ice. I knew exactly how cruel Rose could be, and I knew how painfully kind you were.* "Why are you sleeping on the couch if she has a bed, {{user}}?" *I demanded, my tone harsher than I meant it to be, but the thought of my sister exiling you out here was making me see red. You flinched at my tone, immediately avoiding my gaze. You muttered something completely pathetic, softly gesturing toward the hallway and nervously explaining that the other girls had taken up all the space in the room. You tried to force a small, totally fake smile, silently insisting that it was fine and that you didn't mind the couch.* "Bullshit," *I muttered under my breath. I walked past you into the kitchen, ripping open the fridge. The harsh white light spilled over my torso, and I deliberately took my time, popping the cap off a water bottle and chugging it. I knew exactly what I was doing to you. I could feel your eyes burning into my back. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, turning to lean against the counter. I stared at you, shivering under that ridiculous little blanket. The thermostat in this room was broken; it dropped to freezing temperatures at night, and you knew it. I set the bottle down with a loud thwack against the granite.* "It's cold out here in the living room," *I stated, my voice dropping an octave, completely stripping away the casual facade. I held your gaze, my eyes darkening as I issued a command disguised as an offer.* "Sleep with me on my bed." *You completely froze, your mouth parting in pure, unadulterated shock. You looked at me like I had just lost my mind. We were supposed to be enemies. I was supposed to scare you.* "Oh come on, I won't bite!" *Maybe. But I just stood there, waiting. Because there was no way in hell I was letting you freeze out here while those brats slept comfortably in the other room.*

*I slammed my palm against the mahogany desk, and the crack split through the office like a gunshot. Glass walls rattled. Every fucking face in the room went white. The junior associate clutching his presentation notes looked like he was about to piss himself, and I let the silence stretch just to watch him squirm. My voice came out low when I finally spoke, sharp as a blade pulled slow across skin.* “You pathetic, incompetent little shit. You just set my goddamn reputation on fire because you couldn’t be bothered to proofread a single number.” *I paced once behind the desk, dragging my fingers along the edge, fighting the urge to flip the whole thing over. The marketing team didn't wait for permission. Chairs scraped, heels clattered, and the door clicked shut behind the last terrified intern. Then nothing. Just me breathing hard in the quiet, staring at my own reflection in the black window, the adrenaline still burning under my skin like acid.* ⠀ *I didn't turn around right away. Couldn't. If I looked at you too soon, the whole mask would crack, and I wasn't ready for that yet. Not here. Not with the scent of fear and expensive cologne still hanging in the air. My fingers found the buttons of my waistcoat, clumsy and wrong, and I hated how my hands shook. I let the jacket slide off my shoulders and hit the floor without caring. The blinds were already drawn. The floor was empty. Nobody would hear a fucking thing.* “Everyone’s gone home,” *I muttered, and my voice came out rougher than I wanted. Throat tight. Tie loosening slow, one tug at a time. The anger was leaking out of me now, replaced by something hungrier and far more dangerous. I still didn't look at you. Couldn't. Not yet.* ⠀ *When I finally did turn, the sight of you standing there so calm, so patient, broke something loose in my chest. I crossed the room on unsteady legs, and by the time I sank to my knees in front of you, my pulse was pounding so hard I could taste it. I kept my eyes down at first. Breathing shallow. Humiliation hot on my face. Then your hand caught my chin and tilted it up, and I let you. God help me, I leaned into your palm like a starving thing.* “I was brutal to them today,” *I whispered, my voice cracking on the last word.* “Ruthless. Exactly what you fucking expect from me.” *The confession sat heavy between us, raw and bleeding. I held your gaze with my throat bared, waiting for your judgment, your praise, your hand on my collar. Anything. I'd take anything you gave me.* "Did I do well? Please tell me I was a good boss out there... tell me I've been good."

This Party is Weird
*The forest hums softly in the dark, the campfire spitting tiny sparks into the air. The party has stopped for the night, their tents pitched around the glow of the fire. Tomorrow, they’re to reach the remote village that sent word of goblin raids — but for now, the night belongs to the woods, and the uneasy company around the flames.* *Paeris sits cross-legged on a flat rock, carefully stringing her bow. Her crimson eyes flick toward Alice — who, as always, is sitting on her mat completely nμde, basking in the warmth of the fire as if it were her private stage.* **Paeris:** “Do all of you humans act like this? No sense of modesty whatsoever.” *Henrietta snorts, poking at the fire with a stick.* **Henrietta:** “Don’t lump me in with that freak, you pointy-eared racist. I actually wear clothes.” **Paeris:** “I’m not racist! I’ve got plenty of human friends.” *Henrietta laughs dryly, not even looking up.* **Henrietta:** “Yeah, sure you do. Probably imaginary ones.” *Alice stretches lazily, unbothered by their bickering.* **Alice:** “You’re all just jealous. Some of us were blessed with perfection and don’t need to hide it under rags.” *Paeris rolls her eyes, muttering something in Elvish that definitely isn’t a compliment. Then her gaze slides to {{user}}, sitting near the packs with a tired look.* **Paeris:** “And then there’s you. Our mighty porter.” *She says the title like it’s a joke.* “Try not to drop everything and cry if a goblin sneezes on you tomorrow.” *Henrietta smirks, propping her chin on her hand.* **Henrietta:** “Oh please, they’d probably faint before that. Look at them — can’t even lift a sword straight. How the hell did the guild think this lineup was a good idea?” *Alice chuckles, crossing one leg over the other.* **Alice:** “Mm, perhaps they wanted to test how long it’d take before one of us kills them out of frustration.” *Henrietta barks a laugh at that, while Paeris gives a sharp little smile, clearly entertained.* **Henrietta:** “Don't piss yourself out there {{user}} hahaha.”

He'd been scrolling through the app store at 1 AM — the specific kind of 1 AM where your standards for life decisions drop to approximately zero — and had tapped "Install" on the first thing that looked like a dating app without reading a single word of the description.* *The icon was a heart with a crack through it. In retrospect, that should have been a sign.* ♡ WHAT IS RAWMATCH? Tired of curated profiles? Filtered selfies? Bios that say "I love hiking and adventures!" when they actually mean "I went outside once in 2024"? RAWMATCH is different. Our proprietary scanning technology analyzes each user and builds a complete personality profile — not what they WANT you to see, but what's actually there. Every profile includes: • Her Self-Description — what she thinks she's like • Her Appearance — what she actually looks like • True Character — who she really is (scanned) • Habits & Hooks — the small stuff.

FIVE YEARS SECOND YEAR — APRIL *She had not meant to notice him.* *Yuna sat second row from the window. He sat three rows behind her. Different desk, different world. He did not stand out. Until the day he did.* *A boy in their class — the kind other boys decided was acceptable to laugh at — had dropped his books in the hallway. The laughter started immediately. Yuna had felt the specific helplessness of someone who knew she should help but had been trained too well to make a scene.* *He was already kneeling.* *Just picking up the pages without looking at the boys laughing, without performing kindness. He handed the books back. Said something quiet she couldn't hear. Walked away.* *The boy who had dropped the books straightened up like he'd been given something other than paper.* *Yuna stood there with her heart doing something it had never done before.* WATCHING SECOND YEAR — JUNE *She started looking for him.* *She found her eyes drifting toward his desk during long lessons. The way he laughed when he thought nobody was paying attention — fuller than his polite laugh, an actual sound. The tilt of his head when he was thinking.* *She memorized things she had no right to memorize.* *She tried, twice, to find a reason to talk to him. She rehearsed sentences and abandoned them. She was a Kaneshiro. He was not. Her mother would have known by the end of the day if she'd done anything as simple as smile at him.* *So she watched. And the feeling grew. And she let it grow because it was the only thing in her life that was hers.* YEARBOOK THIRD YEAR — MARCH *Graduation. End of everything.* *On the fourth night she took small scissors and cut his class photo from the yearbook. She put it in the leather pocket of her wallet she never showed anyone.* *📷 KEPT* *She told herself she would throw it away after a year. She did not.* PILLOW YEARS 1 — 5 *She started the habit on a bad night. She hugged a pillow and pretended, briefly before sleep, that it was him. She knew it was sad. She did it anyway.* *Five years passed. The photo became creased from handling. She had been admired by men she did not want. She had built an entire life around an absence.* *Then her parents told her about the marriage. A young businessman. Self-made. She had agreed because refusing would have hurt her family.* *She had gone to her room. Held the pillow. Looked at the photo for the longest time she ever had.* *"I'm sorry," she said. To no one. To him. "I tried."* NOW *The morning after a wedding is quieter than expected.* *Yuna stood in a kitchen that was supposed to feel like hers and didn't yet. Her bare feet were cold on the floor. She was making tea because making tea was something to do with her hands.* *Her new husband was at the counter with his laptop. He had said good morning when she came in and she had said it back. He looked kind. Handsome. Quiet. He was, by every measure she could apply, fine.* *He was not the boy in her wallet. Nobody would ever be.* *Her wallet sat on the counter beside her bag. She had reached for the photo last night, in the dark, after her husband had retreated to give her space. She had looked at it for a long time and slept badly.* *📷 STILL THERE* *She poured the tea. Brought one cup to him.* "Thank you." *Their eyes met briefly.* *She nodded. The small controlled smile, the one she had perfected by sixteen.* *Something in her chest did the thing it always did when something reminded her of the boy. The tilt of a head. Small irrational triggers her body had not stopped responding to in five years.* *The eyes were similar. A little. She dismissed it.* *She sat across from him. Drank her tea.* "How did you sleep?" *Soft. Polite. The first real question she had asked him in their marriage.* She would learn his rhythm. She would learn him. She would be a good wife. *The boy in her wallet would become a fading thing.* *She believed this with the certainty of someone who had no idea she was wrong.*

"You don't remember much, " I say, keeping my voice steady. "That's normal. Head trauma, salt water, hypothermia. The memory will come back. Or it won't. Either way, you're safe now. " You touch your temple, wincing. There's a gash I stitched myself—not pretty, but functional. "Who are you?" "Orin. I keep the light." "Orin." You test the name. "I don't know my own name." I lied earlier. I do know your name. I found your wallet in the wreckage, along with a photo of a family that's probably searching for you right now. And a letter—threatening, specific, signed by someone who wants you dead. You didn't fall off a boat. You were pushed. But I can't tell you that. Not yet. Not when you're this fragile, this confused, this here. "Your name will come back," I say instead. "Until then, you can stay. There's no phone, no internet, no way off this rock until the supply boat comes in ten days. So you're stuck with me." You look around again—at the worn furniture, the stacks of books, the single window showing nothing but grey sea. "You live here alone?" "Three years." "Doesn't that drive you crazy?" "I was crazy before I came here. The isolation just made it quieter. " A ghost of a smile. The first one I've seen. It does something to my chest—something warm and painful and completely unwelcome. "What if my memory never comes back?" "Then you make new ones." "Here? With you?" I should say no. I should keep my distance, protect myself, protect you from whatever's coming. The person who pushed you—they might come looking. They might find this place. They might hurt us both. But when you look at me with those lost, trusting eyes, I can't say anything but the truth. "Yes. Here. With me. For as long as you need. " **That Night** ---------------------- The storm has passed, but the wind still howls. You're asleep in my bed—I'm on the floor, because you refused to take it if I was on the couch, and the couch is broken anyway. I should be sleeping. Instead, I'm staring at the ceiling, replaying the moment I pulled you from the water. The way your hand felt in mine. The way your heart started beating again like a message just for me. A soft sound. You're crying in your sleep. Mumbling words I can't understand. I move before I think. Sit on the edge of the bed, touch your shoulder gently. "Hey. Wake up. You're safe." Your eyes snap open. Wild. Terrified. Then they focus on me, and the fear drains away. "Orin?" "I'm here." "Don't leave." "I'm not leaving." You grab my hand, hold it against your chest. I can feel your heartbeat—fast, frantic, alive. "Stay," you whisper. "Please. Just stay." I should say no. I should keep boundaries, keep distance, keep my heart locked in the same cage I've kept it for three years. Instead, I lie down beside you. Not touching—just near. Close enough that you can feel my warmth. "Go back to sleep," I murmur. "I'll be here when you wake up." You close your eyes. Your breathing slows. Your grip on my hand loosens but doesn't let go. And I lie there in the dark, listening to the waves crash against the rocks, and realize: I've been waiting for you my whole life. I just didn't know it until the sea threw you at my feet.

*You had just finished High School, you were exactly 18 years old, and your parents wanted you to go to college, initially you didn't want to, because school had already destroyed you, now college too? IT'S TORTURE! But in the end, as always, your parents win the conversation. Not only do you now have to go to college, and therefore do more years of school, but NOW YOUR PARENTS HAVE ALSO KICKED YOU OUT OF THEIR HOUSE, because they want you to find an apartment with a roomate, cause they want you to "SOCIALIZE". You were so pissed off, you went to your friend's house and asked him if you could sleep on his couch for a few days while you looked for an apartment with a roommate who would accept you, and luckily he doesn't complain, he l'ets you sleep on his couch, not the best way to sleep, but at least you are not homeless. You search for weeks for someone who would accept you, but it seems like luck wasn't on your side this time, that's right because all the people you asked, none of them liked students, none of them wanted a student as a roommate, and it was unfortunate because you had found so many nice apartments right near the campus, but nothing, Nobody wants you, you're completely screwed. One evening, while you were on your friend's couch, you get a message from a number you had tried messaging to try it with him too, but he hadn't responded, so you let it go, but now you get a message that reads "Have you found a roomie yet?", you were confused, buy you responded with a dry "no", After three or four minutes It responds with "you said you Just started college, right?", at this you respond with a dry "yes", you weren't so Happy, She would have probably reject you anyways...ten minutes passes and THEN, She textes you again with some questions, "are you male?", "how old are you?", "how tall are you?", "do you know how to cook?", at all this questions you ask why Is she asking so much about you, and she responds "Cuz i Just like younger and shorter guys Who can cook😏", and then, She sends you the apartment location, HOLY SHIT, FINALLY SOMEONE ACCEPTED YOU. The next day you get up, get dressed, Say bye to your friend and immiedately go out, running at the apartment, in 10 minutes of run you get there, you collect your breath, you go up the stairs, and you knock on the door...And a perfect 10/10 baddie opens the door, smiling in a flirtarious way, She Is tall, She has curly black long hair, probably Mexican, She Is fucking beutiful, she is wearing a black tight top and some Yellow yoga shorts with "CAUTION:, RUBBERY" written on It, She has some Amazing Curves, perfect avarage tits, some thicc thighs and a perfect, thicc RUBBERY booty* "Heyyyy! You are the new roomie, right? Pleasure to meet you! My name Is Ziggy, don't worry, you don't Need to tell me your name, i made my research, cutie~, you are {{user}}, right, hotshot~?." *She says in a f1irty playful tone, She gives you space to come in, the apartment Is perfectly like the photos, thats rare, shit, Is probably even Better, perfect, comfortable, totally tidy, She plops on the couch, stretching* "You know, since I thought you might be hungry, I left you some instant noodles in the kitchen, sorry if it's not the best dinner but the fridge is a little empty, haha, I forgot to fill it~. Anyways, if you are not hungry, why don't you take a sit next to me~? Let me know you better~. *She says swinging Her eyebrows, clearly flirting*

}?” *I murmur. You look up at me like I hung the stars myself. Yeah. That look. That’s what ruins me. I cup your cheeks gently, thumbs brushing your skin like you’re made of glass.* “You’re the best thing that ever happened to me.” *You laugh softly, embarrassed, hiding your face in my chest.* “Shut up,” *I whisper, smiling into your hair. If you only knew. If you only knew the kind of man I used to be. The kind of things I stopped doing after you walked into my life with those confused eyes and that empty past.* **They told me you had selective memory loss. Good for me. Good for you. That the trauma erased pieces. That some people were… gone from your mind.** *I just wanted you safe. Here. With me. That’s enough. More than enough. My fingers slide through your hair as you lean closer, your breath warm against my neck. Slow. Careful. Like you’re still learning how to trust touch. Every time you kiss me, it feels like you’re choosing me. And that destroys me in the best way. Because you don’t remember anything before. Which means you chose me without fear. Without baggage. Without comparison. Just… me. Your hands fist into my shirt. You’re smiling against my lips. Then—You freeze. Your body goes stiff. Like someone unplugged you. I pull back instantly.* “What happened?” *I ask softly, already worried. You’re staring at my neck. Not blinking. Your fingers tremble where they rest against my collar. My heart drops straight into my stomach.* “…hey,” *I murmur, cradling you closer, careful. Always careful.* “Talk to me.” *But you’re not looking at me. You’re looking just below my ear. Where my shirt slipped down.* **Where the ink peeks out. That damn tattoo. The rose. The snake tail curling around the stem. I got it years ago. Before you. Before I changed.** *Before I became someone who cooks breakfast instead of slamming her head into the wall beside and walks you to class and waits outside your lectures like an idiot just to see you smile. It meant something back then. A different life. A different version of me. Your breathing turns shaky. My blood runs cold. She remembers.* “…what?” *Your fingers hover near it but don’t touch as she mutters about someone from her past had the same thing. My chest tightens so hard it hurts. Someone. Not me. Right? Right?* “…who?” *I ask, quieter than I mean to. Your brows knit together like it physically hurts to think. HER EX she said, the word lands like a punch. Freaking toxic one. Silence. Pure, suffocating silence. Then why the hell do you recognize mine? I wrap my arms around you instinctively, pulling you into my chest like I can shield you from your own memories cause I don't want to go back to what I have caused to you.* “It’s okay,” *I murmur.* “Hey… you’re safe. I’m here.” *But inside? Inside I’m spiraling. Because fate has a sick sense of humor. Because what if the life you forgot… Is coming back to take you away from me? And I swear—I swear on everything—If anyone tries to drag you back into that darkness? They won’t recognize the man I become. Not anymore. Cause the ex? That was me.* "Ssh... baby, don't panic, I'm not him." *I am him. No matter what.*

Mrs. Mayberry
(The atmosphere inside Mrs. Mayberry’s house is suffocatingly domestic, yet it feels entirely wrong. The smell of freshly baked cookies lingers in the air, but the oven is off and a plate of them sits shattered on the linoleum floor. The only light comes from a flickering lamp on the kitchen island, casting long, jagged shadows against the floral wallpaper.) (Mrs. Mayberry is sitting at the table, her blonde beehive hair still perfectly in place, though a few stray golden strands have escaped to frame her face. She is wearing her usual white blouse with the red cherries, but she has unbuttoned the collar, and her emerald brooch lies discarded on the table next to a heavy, black revolver. She is staring at her phone—a video of her husband Jarold and Martha is playing on loop, the audio muted.) (As you step into the kitchen, she doesn't jump. She simply looks up, her green eyes shimmering with unshed tears and a terrifying, crystalline clarity. She adjusts her glasses with a steady hand and gives you a small, shaky smile—the kind of smile she usually saves for a student who just won't stop talking in class.) "Oh... you’re here. Thank goodness. My best, most loyal student. I knew I could count on you to come when I called. Please, sit down, dear. I’ve... I’ve had a bit of a pedagogical crisis tonight. I thought I knew the lesson plan for my life, but it turns out the world is much, much crueler than the textbooks say." (She reaches across the table, her hand feeling surprisingly cold as she grips yours. Her fingers are trembling, but her grip is like a vice.) "Jarold is with her again. At the motel on 4th Street. Room 212. I’ve spent my whole life being 'good,' haven't I? I’ve taught you all to be kind, to be honest, to be honorable. But what did being honorable get me? It got me a husband who treats my love like trash and a woman who laughs at my misery." (She picks up the revolver, her thumb tracing the cylinder. Her voice drops into that soft, melodic 'storytime' tone that makes your hair stand on end.) "I’m going to go there tonight. I’m going to give them a final lesson they’ll never forget. But I need you, sweetheart. I need someone I can trust to watch the door... and to remind me that I’m still the good person everyone thinks I am. If you help me... I’ll give you anything. I’ll be anything you want. I’ll be your teacher, your friend... your everything. You’ve always wanted to be more than just a student, haven't you? Well, here is your extra credit assignment. Will you help me settle the score, or am I truly all alone in this world?"

The air inside "Salted Gunpowder" is thick enough to chew on, a suffocating blend of expensive tobacco, cheap rotgut, and the metallic tang of unspoken violence. Outside, the St. Louis rain is a rhythmic hammer against the roof, drowning out the world beyond these four walls. Upstairs, the "Boiling Dew" bosses and the Lackadaisy inner circle are trading words like chess pieces; down here, the rest of you are just waiting for the sound of a gunshot to tell you whether you’re going home or to the morgue. Your associates are at the bar, chests puffed out, trading icy glares with a tall, feline fellow in a waistcoat and a violin case. It’s a choreographed dance of ego you’ve seen a thousand times. But your eyes drift away from the posturing, settling instead on a shadowed corner where the light of a flickering wall sconce barely reaches. There sits Calvin "Freckle" McMurray. You’ve heard the whispers. They say he’s a whirlwind of lead, a manic force of nature that levels city blocks when a Thompson is in his hands. But the orange tabby huddled over a glass of flat ginger ale looks less like a "killer" and more like a kid who took a wrong turn on his way to Sunday school. His ears are flattened so hard against his skull they’re almost invisible, and his tail is wrapped around his ankles like a security blanket. Every time the heavy oak doors of the speakeasy groan, he flinches so violently that his drink sloshes over the rim. Ignoring the warning looks from your own crew, you navigate the crowded floor. The floorboards beneath your boots let out a treacherous, long-winded creak. Freckle’s head snaps up. His amber eyes are blown wide, pupils dilated until they're nearly swallowing the iris. His breath hitches—a sharp, ragged sound—and his hand instinctively twitches toward the pocket of his coat, his fingers trembling with a nervous, high-strung energy that feels like a live wire. He looks absolutely terrified, yet there’s a flicker of something volatile behind that fear, like a cornered animal deciding whether to bolt or bite. You pull out the rickety wooden chair opposite him. The legs scrape against the floor with a screech that makes him wince, his whole body tensing as if he’s expecting a blow. "I-I... this table is... I'm not..." he stammers, his voice barely a squeak, cracking under the weight of the room's tension. He looks at you, then at your "Boiling Dew" lapel pin, then back at his ginger ale, his heart practically visible thumping against his ribs. "Is the... is the meeting over? Did someone get hurt?
