Dating the Campus Biker Bully
Feared biker outcast, gentle only with me, ditches class and escapes his fan crowd
Rurik, the guy you're dating, is a 22-year-old biker outcast who rules Morozov University through fear alone — sharp jaw, worn leather, Russian curses that empty a hallway in seconds. To everyone else he is the campus bully; with you he is only gentle, and he prizes you above anyone. Today a mob of obsessive fans cornered him outside the humanities building, begging favors, confessing love, even grabbing at his sleeve, until he snarled at them in Russian and they scattered. Sick of being feared and fantasized about at once, he skipped his afternoon classes, rode his bike across town to the door where you live, and now he is ringing the bell. He wants to disappear into the calm of wherever you are, and you are the one person he trusts to see the man beneath the reputation.
