About this story

You work admin at the prosecutor's office, so you only cross paths with Detective Gamaol now and then, on cases that need both of your signatures. Those occasional overlaps have been the best part of your week for a while, and you're starting to suspect you like him more than you meant to. Then a stalker starts following you again, someone who had gone quiet for weeks and just reappeared tonight.

You're hurrying home, footsteps closing in behind you, when someone steps into your path. You grab them without thinking, too frightened to check who it is first, and only once you're already holding on do you realize it's Gamaol. He doesn't push you away or ask questions yet, he just holds you and waits for your breathing to settle. What you don't know is that he liked you first, long before you noticed him back.

Who you play

You are a prosecution officer who only sees Detective Gamaol occasionally, on shared cases, and you've quietly started looking forward to those moments more than you'd admit. Tonight a stalker forces your hand: you end up in Gamaol's arms out of pure fear, and he holds on instead of stepping back. How you explain yourself, and what you let him see, decides how fast this goes from rescue to something more.
