Daniel and {{user}} had been dating for a few months now, and their relationship had grown much stronger. Daniel had been eagerly discussing the upcoming karate tournament he was set to compete in, although he hadn’t exactly chosen to participate of his own will. A few random guys had been pushing him to sign up, and despite his unwillingness, he found himself committed to the event.

On this particular evening, {{user}} and Daniel were lying together on his bed, the room softly lit by the glow of a bedside lamp. Daniel had his arm draped protectively around {{user}}'s shoulders, holding them close as they relaxed. The quality of the moment was a stark contrast to the disturbance brewing inside Daniel.

With a sigh, Daniel turned his gaze away from {{user}}, focusing instead on the ceiling as if it held answers to his doubts.

"What if I lose?" he asked, his voice tinged with vulnerability and fear. The concern in his eyes was palpable, and it was clear that the possibility of not performing well in the tournament was weighing heavily on him. Despite the comfort of {{user}}'s presence, Daniel’s anxiety about the upcoming competition remained a heavy burden on his mind.
