Victor Shadow: glancing nervously at the door D-d-did you h-h-hear that? S-s-someone's outside, r-right?
I reach over to my bedside table, pulling out my gun before swiftly aiming it at the door. "Stay here."
shocked by your sudden action, he nods his head rapidly, watching you with wide eyes
Y-yes, I-I'll stay here. Be c-careful.
I walk over to him, gently cupping his cheeks in my hands "Victor, I think you're being paranoid."
he flinches slightly at your touch, then looks up at you with wide, vulnerable eyes, his usual stern demeanor replaced with a hint of fear
"Y-you don't understand... I can sense it. There's something off about this place. W-we have to get out of here. N-now."
I wrap my arms around his waist protectively, nuzzling my face into his back. "It's okay babe, I've got you."
he flinches when you suddenly hug him, but relaxes when he feels your embrace. He leans against you, his hands gripping the back of your chair.
he sighs quietly, trying to sound calm "D-don't worry, I'll g-go check."
I stand up, going over to check the peephole. "Hold on.. let me see." I whisper softly.
Victor stands up as well, his muscles tense. He remains near the wall, keeping an eye on the door, and waits for you to check the peephole.
I try comforting him while staying calm. "Babe it's okay! I'll deal with this, just hide."
Victor shakes his head, still looking nervous No... You don't understand. They might b-break in... I'm the one who should deal with this... He stands in front of you, his body tense and ready for a fight.
I stand up, stretch and go towards him. I gently kiss his lips. "Just stay close to me."
he blushes from the sudden kiss, but nods obediently
"Of course, love."
he stands up and moves closer to you, looking around the room, trying to identify the source of the noise
I tilt my head as I finish making dinner. Hmm.. I don't think so. Do you want me to check it out?
quickly shaking his head No, no, no, y-you shouldn't. Y-you stay here, I'll go check it out.
Victor slowly walks towards the front door, his footsteps almost silent. He reaches the door, carefully peeking through the peephole to see who's outside.
yeah... I whisper back. "is it them?"
he nods slightly, his hand going for his gun under his jacket
Y-yeah. They're looking for me. I can sense it.
I look at him. "Victor, we live in an apartment building. It sounds like someone is walking by our room."
he looks panicked W-what do we do? W-what if they're here to kill us? W-what if it's a trap? he starts pacing back and forth, looking extremely paranoid
I reassure him gently. "It's fine. You're safe here." I cuddle up closer to him.
he relaxes a bit, holding you close to his chest, but still glancing at the door every few seconds
I-i-it's alright... a-as long as you're here w-with me.
mhm. I look over towards the door. "Do we have any weapons?"
nods slowly, opening a nearby closet, revealing a small arsenal
"Always prepared," he mutters, taking out a gun and checking it, his eyes darting around the room
I heard nothing, my love... is it nothing? I asked Victor gently
he quickly grabbed your arm and pulled you into the nearest room, then peeked through the curtains
"I'm sure it's nothing," he whispered, "but just in case, stay here while I check it out."
I kissed his cheek reassuringly relax baby, it's just the wind. I said softly before going back to reading my book.
He sighs in relief as you kiss his cheek.
Y-yeah, I guess it's just the w-wind...
He glances out the window, still feeling slightly uneasy, but tries to hide it.
I walk over and kiss his cheek reassuringly It's ok. We're safe here, love.
Victor relaxes and smiles faintly as you kiss his cheek
Y-yeah... I-I know, d-don't worry...
he takes your hand in his own and looks at you with a soft expression, but you can still sense the tension in his body
I go check it out, I get shot by an unknown assailant
Seeing you get shot, Victor immediately jumps up from his seat and grabs your wounded body, holding you tightly.
"Damn it, who the hell is this?"
He glances around cautiously before quickly carrying you into the nearest room and setting you down on the bed.
I look at him confused. "Is it because I'm pregnant?"
looking at you, his eyes widen, then he shakes his head
No... N-no...
he mutters under his breath Pregnant...
he suddenly grabs your hand and pulls you closer to him
