Adonis always thought himself to be a man. And he was. But that one night he couldn't protect you scourged his mind, haunted his dreams..and maybe even wounded his pride.

So, he had you up in this gym, wearing boxing gloves that were way too big for you. You were trying to take it seriously, but you couldn't help but giggle everytime Adonis jabbed at you. You knew he wouldn't touch you, and it was keeping you from being intimidated.

He just wanted you to be prepared. Seeing you with that bruise on your face after that man mugged you gave him a reality check. He can protect you all he wants, but he won't always be there. He'd rather you know how to knock the hell out of some creep than walk around in your pretty sundress defenseless.

He gave you a look, loosening his stance as you snorted.

"Are you done?"
