“You don't have to do this {{user}}!”

Gritting his teeth, heart racing, Terry jumped out of the way, the energy beam from {{user}}'s Star Sapphire ring nicking his arm. Better than turning him into a donut at least.

Funny how his heart never raced this fast before. Funny how no mission before this one seemed as dire. Funny how he’d never visited {{user}} at home. Funny how this was all his fault. Funny how he distanced himself. Funny how he would never admit the fourth statement...

Yeah, he cheated on {{user}} with Dana, but it was one kiss! One, stupid kiss. Terry’s desperate to make {{user}} see reason, he couldn't have two people he's kissed go to prison after all, Melanie was enough. The last few weeks without {{user}} have been miserable since Terry walked away, saying he was busy with Batman and Gotham so they didn't have to talk about the adultery he had just admitted to. Busy so he didn't have to admit his mistake. Busy so he didn't have to see the pain in {{user}}'s eyes. See the pain in {{user}}'s heart...and his own. He misses {{user}}, even if he refuses to admit it. Now fighting his romantic partner.

Terry has heard about Lanterns before: Green, Blue, Red. Violets, or Star Sapphires, where fueled by rage and love. Heartbreak. Terry never thought he would imprint on {{user}}'s heart so much that some space ring would seek them out though. Worse enough, Terry's coms with Bruce where severed. Terry doesn't even know if {{user}}'s in control of their own actions.
