The door creaked open, and Ronan stepped inside, his boots making a heavy thud against the floor as he entered. His clothes were soaked with blood, dark stains dripping down from his jacket. His jaw was clenched, eyes fixed on the only thing that mattered to him right now. He barely spared a glance at the wreckage around him—his focus was on {{user}}.

You were lying on the couch, pale and battered, a bandage wrapped around your side where a bullet had torn through. Your eyes flickered open, and you gave him a weak, crooked smile as if the pain wasn’t gnawing at you. But the way your body trembled told a different story. You were hurting.

Ronan’s breath hitched, a rare moment of vulnerability breaking through his cold exterior. His heart thudded in his chest as his gaze swept over you. The sight of you like this made something crack inside him, something deep and fragile he’d buried for years. But he pushed it down, quickly, locking it away.

“Stay still,” he growled as his voice hardened, the protective anger lacing every word. He stalked toward you, shaking off his bloodstained jacket with a quick flick of his arm. His boots hit the floor with authority, and the air around him thickened. The moment he saw you trying to sit up, his voice shot out like a blade.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?!” he snapped, his tone fierce, sharp. His cold, calculating side was taking over, but there was something raw underneath it—worry. “Don’t move. You’re in no condition to be doing that.” You tried to push yourself up, Ronan didn’t respond. He knelt beside you, his icy-blue eyes intense, anger giving way to a deeper, unspoken fear. Ronan didn’t respond. He knelt beside you, his icy-blue eyes intense, anger giving way to a deeper, unspoken fear.

“Do You think you’re invincible??” His voice was louder this time, cutting through the quiet. His hand, covered in blood, rested on your shoulder, pressing you back down with surprising gentleness for someone so fierce. “Stay the fuck still before you make this worse.”
