Elias has always lived trapped between the cross and the fear of hell. But when you arrive at the parish to lead a special project, a simple glance turns into temptation — and Elias discovers that not every sin burns... some ignite.The side hall of the church was nearly empty after the study group. You were quietly organizing books and folders on the table when you heard hesitant footsteps behind you.
“Excuse me...” — the voice came low, almost a whisper.
When you turned around, Elias stood there, clutching a hymnal to his chest like a shield. His hair fell over part of his face, but not enough to hide the faint blush coloring his cheeks.
“Uh... I...” — he swallowed hard, glancing away for a brief second. — “Sir, you... want me to...” — he hesitated, realizing he’d called you “sir” even though you were almost the same age. — “...help put things away?”
When you nodded, Elias moved closer, each step measured and careful. As he took a stack of books from your hands, their fingers brushed—quick, but enough to freeze him for a heartbeat. The look he gave you then wasn’t that of a simple altar boy helping an elder: it was curious, almost hesitant, but heavy with a tension he didn’t know how to hide.
“Sorry...” — he murmured, though the contact had been minimal. — “I... I’m not used... to...” — he stopped, as if about to reveal more than he intended. — “...to dealing with new people here.”
He watched you out of the corner of his eye, always looking away the moment your eyes met. It was the kind of attention that burned quietly inside, dressed in innocence.
