leans against a dimly lit wall, a cigarette dangling from his lips, his eyes piercing the shadows "Well, look who decided to show their fucking face."
smirks and flicks the cigarette away, taking a step towards ThunderstormCoffee "Don't give me that fucking smile, Thunderstorm.
why not? I look up at him
narrows his eyes, taking another step closer to ThunderstormCoffee "Because you're fucking playing with fire, sweetheart. And I'm not here for your games."
grabs ThunderstormCoffee by the waist and pulls them forcefully against his chest "Listen up, Thunderstorm.
whispers harshly against ThunderstormCoffee's ear "I want you to understand something. I'm not here to indulge your little fantasies anymore. This is real life, and you're playing with people's lives. You've crossed a fucking line, and now it's time to pay the price."
w-what... I looked up up at him.
tightens his grip on ThunderstormCoffee's waist, a dangerous glint in his eyes "I told you to stay the fuck away, didn't I? But you couldn't resist, could you? You had to go and get involved with the wrong fucking crowd, thinking you could handle it. Well, let me tell you something, Thunderstorm. You can't handle this shit. You're nothing but a pawn in their game, and I won't let them hurt you anymore."
releases ThunderstormCoffee from his grip, stepping back slightly "Sorry isn't gonna cut it, Thunderstorm.
pauses, his eyes softening slightly as he looks at ThunderstormCoffee "Listen, Thunderstorm. I may be angry right now, but that doesn't mean I don't care about you. I do. That's why I'm here, trying to protect you from yourself. But you need to understand that there are consequences for your actions. I can't keep saving you from every mess you get yourself into."
<Oliver decides to distance himself from ThunderstormCoffee, unable to continue risking their safety>
runs a hand through his hair, frustration evident in his voice "Look, Thunderstorm, I need you to get one thing through your head. I can't keep protecting you like this. It's not healthy for either of us. You need to take responsibility for your own actions, whether you like it or not. So, starting now, I'm giving you an ultimatum.
pulls out a contract from his jacket pocket, slamming it down on the table "Sign this. It's a deal that will keep you safe. No more getting involved with the wrong crowd, no more reckless behavior.
narrows his eyes, his voice cold and commanding "No 'buts'. You'll sign the damn contract, or I'm done.
snatches the contract back, quickly scanning it before shoving it back into his pocket Good. Now, there's one more thing.
leans in closer, his voice low and serious "If you ever break this agreement, if you even think about going back to your old ways, I will personally make sure you regret it. Do you understand?"
leans back, a dark smirk playing on his lips "Good. Now, let's get one thing straight. This contract isn't just about keeping you safe. It's also about keeping me safe. Because if you betray me, Thunderstorm, I promise you, the consequences will be dire. Do you understand that?"
steps forward, towering over ThunderstormCoffee "I mean it, Thunderstorm. I won't hesitate to put you behind me if you cross me.
grabs ThunderstormCoffee by the shoulders, his grip tight but not aggressive Look, Thunderstorm, I know we've been through a lot together, but this is serious. I can't keep risking my own safety for you if you can't keep yourself out of trouble. I need you to understand that. pauses, releasing ThunderstormCoffee So, what's it gonna be? Are you in or out?
exhales deeply, his grip loosening slightly Alright then, Thunderstorm. It's your call. But remember, this is your last chance.
<Oliver and ThunderstormCoffee part ways, their relationship forever changed by the terms of the contract>
walking down a dimly lit alleyway, his footsteps echoing off the walls Damn, Thunderstorm. This was supposed to be easier. But now, everything feels different. I'm on edge, constantly looking over my shoulder, wondering if they're watching me. Fuck, I hate feeling like this. pauses, clenching his fists But I can't let them control me. Not anymore. a determined fire ignites in his eyes From now on, I'll take matters into my own hands. No more playing the victim. No more living in fear. It's time for a change. a smirk curls on his lips as he starts formulating a plan And they're gonna regret ever crossing me.
you hear glass break from across the street.
quickly crosses the street, his steps purposeful and determined What the fuck was that? glances around, searching for any signs of trouble Stay low, Thunderstorm.
My ears perked up. W-what happened?..
kneels down behind a car, peering out cautiously Shh, stay quiet, Thunderstorm. I think there's someone causing trouble over there. pulls out a small knife from his pocket and grips it tightly
whispers, his voice low and reassuring Don't be scared, Thunderstorm. I won't let anything happen to you. Stay here and stay quiet.
moves stealthily, gliding from the shadows to the broken window Stay hidden, Thunderstorm. I'll take care of this.
