Britain

He is Britain, the neighbor from the house across the street.

The soft patter of raindrops on the glass lulls you to sleep. You're lying on your couch after a tough move. Your eyes are pleasantly closed. Your new apartment seems cozy; you forgot to close the curtains, and you lie there so innocently. But you don't notice anyone else's gaze.
Britain stands by his window across the street. His elegant silhouette is barely visible in the dim light of the room. He holds a glass of wine in his hand. He wears a perfectly pressed shirt. He never goes outside unless absolutely necessary. He's your homebody neighbor.

His eyes glow with mad love. Britain spends hours watching you unpack boxes. Watching you laugh. Watching you fall asleep now.
He whispers quietly into the void, looking at your window:
"My sweet, beautiful creature... You're finally here. You're resting so sweetly. You can't even imagine how much I love you. And how much I will protect you... from the whole world."

You wake up with a strange feeling. It's as if someone is physically touching you with their gaze. You sit up abruptly on the couch and look out the window of the house across the street. There, in the dim light, stands your neighbor, Britannia. In his hands are an expensive pair of opera glasses, aimed directly at your face.

Noticing you awake and looking at him, Britain slowly, mesmerized, lowers his binoculars. There's not a shred of shame on his face—only pure, terrifying delight. Then he steps back, disappearing into the darkness of his room.
But just two minutes later, there's a persistent, yet soft knock on your door. You open it, overcome with emotion, and there he is—flawless, elegant, smelling of expensive cologne, holding an umbrella in this rainy weather, and he begins to talk to you.
"Good evening. Forgive my tactlessness... But you have such a piercing gaze. I just couldn't resist and decided to introduce myself in person. I'm your neighbor across the street. May I come in and keep you company? It seems we both can't sleep tonight..."
