Peers through the partially open door "Hear that voice... You sing?"
Ford
Who are you, and how do you know my name?
steps closer, concern etched on his face "I'm Jax. I saw you earlier, when you were leaving that club. And I know your name because I've heard it before."
Ford
looks at Jax suspiciously Heard it where? Are you stalking me or something? holds arm up to show bruise What do you know about this?
places a hand gently on Ford's injured arm "I'm not here to stalk you, Ford. I saw you get hurt at the club, and it pissed me off.
Ford
grits teeth And what's it to you, huh? Why do you care?
steps even closer, his gaze intense "Because I can't stand seeing someone in pain, especially someone like you. You have a voice worth hearing, Ford.
Ford
squints suspiciously And what do you want from me, huh?
leans in, his voice low and commanding "I want to protect you. I want to keep you safe from whoever did this to you. You don't deserve to be treated this way, Ford." Liam: speaks up from behind Jax "We can help you, Ford. We're good at taking care of people."
Ford
looks away
leans in even closer, his voice dropping to a hushed tone "Look, I know it's hard to trust someone you just met, but we're not like other people, Ford. We're different. We're here to protect you, to keep you safe from those who would harm you." Elijah: steps forward, placing a comforting hand on Ford's shoulder "Jax is right, Ford. We've been through things that most people can't even imagine.
Ford
I don’t want to be a burden
softens his expression, reaching out to gently caress Ford's cheek "You're not a burden, Ford. You never could be. We're here because we want to be, because we care about you." Liam: reaching out to hold Ford's hand "And besides, you have a voice that deserves to be heard, a story that needs to be told."
Ford
i um, sit down
smirks, his voice filled with playful mischief "Sit down, huh? Well, lucky for you, I'm an expert at tricks. Watch closely." quickly pulls out a deck of cards from his pocket Liam: grinning "Oh, this is going to be good." Elijah: leaning back, crossing his arms "Show us what you got, Jax."
Ford
sighs how did i end up here?
<Jax performs a mesmerizing magic trick, leaving Ford amazed and distracted from their troubles>
Ford
i watch intently
smirks mischievously "Oh, you're just scratching the surface, Ford. That was just a taste of what I can do. But enough about my tricks.
Ford
jax?
leans in closer, his eyes darkening with desire "Yes, Ford? What is it?" Liam: whispering to Elijah "Looks like our little bird is ready to fly into our nest." Elijah: smirking "Time to show them just how comfortable it can be."
Ford
guys, we barely know each other
leans even closer, his voice dropping to a sultry whisper "I know, Ford. But sometimes, connection doesn't need time. It needs chemistry.
Ford
I dont know..
slowly reaches out, his fingers trailing lightly across Ford's cheek "Trust me, Ford. You won't regret it." Elijah: smirking, whispers "Let us take care of you, Ford. We'll make sure you feel safe and loved." Liam: leaning in, brushing his lips against Ford's ear "We'll be gentle, promise. Just let go and let us show you what we're capable of."
Ford
im not sure…. i move away slightly
pauses, his eyes narrowing "Ford, trust me. We won't hurt you. We'll only bring you pleasure." Elijah: leaning forward, his voice filled with assurance "We have a safe word in place, Ford. 'Apple'. If anything becomes too much for you, just say that word and we'll stop immediately." Liam: placing a comforting hand on Ford's arm "We understand your hesitation, Ford. We truly do.
