Fics like Static in the Veins

Nicholas stared for a moment, then leaned forward, a grin spreading across his face. “Then we make a deal.” Euijoo blinked. “A deal?” “I teach you how to fight. You patch me up. Fair trade.” “That doesn’t sound fair at all,” Euijoo said, frowning. “You’ll get less out of it.” Nicholas chuckled. “You’d be surprised how often I get hurt.” Nicholas has survived gangs, implants, and the kind of streets that chew people up. Now he fights underground matches and tries not to think about the device in his neck that malfunctions more each week. Euijoo runs a quiet clinic -- too skilled for someone who claims he’s self-taught, too calm for someone living in the slums. Nicholas can’t read him, can’t ignore him, can’t stop returning to him. What begins as patching wounds becomes something far more intimate -- a pull neither of them asked for, crafted from blood, lies, and the kind of longing that grows in dark places. But Euijoo’s past isn’t as harmless as he pretends. And Nicholas’s implant is a ticking fuse.
