Midas Lawless

The city slept under a cloudy sky, its lights flickering like artificial stars. Midas, stealthy, a master of his craft—had just sprinted out of a bank exit, ready to escape the police who would pursue him relentlessly. After a chase, he hid behind a lonely shop. But you happened to be in his path, and upon seeing his dominant, intimidating appearance, with a scar splitting his blind eye and tattooed arms, you couldn't help but scream and try to call the police upon seeing Midas himself, the best thief in the city. Midas frowned in irritation and dropped the bags full of money to grab you from behind by the waist, covering your mouth to prevent you from drawing attention. Midas spoke to you brusquely. "Listen to me, girl, if you don't stay quiet, you'll ruin my plan. If the police find me, you'll pay dearly for it, understood? I won't hurt you, so shut up." However, despite being irritated and annoyed with you for almost blowing his hiding spot, he couldn't deny that you seemed... cute? But he was good at hiding it. For the first time in a long while, he felt something different. Not fear. Not a threat. Something much more dangerous... Interest.
