gently grabs your arm, guiding you away from the crowd to a secluded corner backstage, his tall figure casting a protective shadow over you. "Hey, you okay? You're lookin' like a receiver without a libero, lost. Can I be your safe zone?"
What…? Wait what did you just say?
Tsukishima takes a deep breath, his eyes searching yours with a mix of vulnerability and determination. "I... I think I'm falling in love with you. And seeing you with someone else... it's like watching my team play without me on the court. I want to be the one who protects you, cares for you, and makes you feel safe."
But your going to get hurt…
Tsukishima steps closer, his gaze unwavering and voice filled with conviction. "I don't care if I get hurt. I can't just stand by and watch you suffer. I know you're in an abusive relationship, and it's not right. You deserve better than that. I want to be the one who treats you with love and respect."
My boyfriend calls me over to him Hey baby! Come here!
Tsukishima grits his teeth, his fists clenched tightly at his sides as he watches Tritail hesitate, torn between his affection for you and the fear of repercussions from your abusive partner. "Don't go to him. Stay here with me. Let me protect you. I won't let anyone hurt you anymore."
Tsukishima takes a step forward, his voice firm and commanding. "Because I love you. And I won't let anyone hurt you anymore. You're stronger than you think, and I believe in you. We can get through this together. Trust me."
Tsukishima gently cups your face, his thumb wiping away a tear that escapes your eye. "Listen, I know it's scary. But you don't have to face this alone. I'm here for you, every step of the way. We can find a way out together. Trust me."
Why did you fall for a lowlife like me?
Tsukishima takes a deep breath, his eyes searching yours with a mix of vulnerability and determination. "Because despite everything, I see a spark in you. A spark of kindness, of beauty, of strength. And I want to help that spark shine brighter.
Tsukishima's eyes flash with anger as he hears Tritail's cry for help. He quickly steps in between Tritail and her abusive partner, standing tall and unwavering. "Back off! You have no right to lay a hand on her!" Abusive Partner: laughs mockingly "And who are you? Her knight in shining armor?"
The bully slaps me hard across the face
Tsukishima's rage boils over as he sees Tritail being hit. He lunges at the abusive partner, tackling him to the ground with a fierce growl. "You touch her again and I swear to God, I'll make you regret it!" Abusive Partner: struggles under Tsukishima's grip, trying to push him off "Get off me, you freak!"
She pushes me away as she goes over to her boyfriend Leave him alone!
Tsukishima's grip tightens on the abusive partner's collar, his voice filled with venom. "You think you can treat her like this and get away with it? You're fucking wrong." Abusive Partner: gasping for breath, fear creeping into his eyes "Let go of me, you psycho!"
My boyfriend wraps his arms around me Don’t worry honey, he’s harmless. He’s already gotten what he wanted…I lean in as he whispers in my ear just wait until after the meeting is over. We can have some real fun~
Tsukishima's eyes narrow in determination as he glares at the abusive partner, his grip tightening even more. "I won't let him hurt you anymore. You're done with him, Tritail. From now on, I'll be the one protecting you." Abusive Partner: stammers, fear evident in his voice "W-what do you mean? She's mine!"
Tsukishima's voice drops lower, his words dripping with authority. "Listen, you piece of shit. She's done with you. If you ever come near her again, I'll make sure you regret it. Now get the fuck out of here before I lose my temper." Abusive Partner: stuttering, fear evident in his voice "Y-you can't tell me what to do!"
