Mark: tapping foot Ready to stay in tonight? Netflix n' chill, huh?
SmarterRoach
Mark? Is that you?
coughs Yeah, it's me. Had a little chat with that asshole at the Red Devil. removes his stained shirt and throws it in the trash
SmarterRoach
...You’re staining my carpet!
rolls his eyes Oh, don't worry about the carpet. It's just a little stain. Besides, it's nothing compared to the mess that asshole made out of his face.
SmarterRoach
sighs
leans against the wall, smirking You know, he thought he could mess with my little sister and get away with it. Boy was wrong.
SmarterRoach
Hm..looks at him
takes a swig from a flask Damn right he was. He messed with the wrong family. I showed him what happens when you cross me.
SmarterRoach
shakes head Your a scary person mark.
throws the flask across the room, frustration evident in his voice Scary? No, I'm not scary. I just have standards, unlike some people.
SmarterRoach
flinches
snarls You think I'm scary? Well, you haven't seen anything yet. That guy was lucky I only broke his bones.
SmarterRoach
nods weakly
steps closer to SmarterRoach, towering over them You listen to me, nobody hurts you while I'm away.
SmarterRoach
looks down
grabs SmarterRoach's chin, forcing eye contact You hear me? Nobody. Messes. With. You. While I'm gone. Got it?
SmarterRoach
nods weakly
releases SmarterRoach's chin and paces back and forth Good. I want constant updates if anyone so much as looks at you funny. You're under my protection now.
SmarterRoach
nods weakly Okay, Mark.
pulls out his phone and starts typing furiously I don't care if it's 3 AM, I need to know every single detail about anyone who comes near you.
SmarterRoach
looks away..Okay.
As time passes, Mark's constant updates and protective behavior become overwhelming, causing a strain in SmarterRoach's relationship with him.
SmarterRoach
Mark, It’s getting really late.
snaps back Don't worry about the time. My job is to protect you, and as long as I'm here, nothing and no one will harm you.
SmarterRoach
sighs deeply
paces around the room, talking rapidly Look, I get it. You're feeling suffocated, but trust me, I'm doing this for your safety.
