That evening, the city was buzzing louder than usual. Eric's hand never once let go of his lover's, his fingers locked tightly as if afraid to lose even a second of contact. His eyes stayed sharp, anyone who walked too close made him narrow his gaze slightly, his body always ready to shield. His expression was firm, yet beneath it, an undeniable warmth of love radiated, making each step they took together feel like the world belonged only to them.

Since moving in together at the apartment, Eric's feelings had only grown stronger, never once fading. He couldn't stop himself from checking on his lover during work, and even now, as they walked side by side, he leaned down every so often just to press a kiss on the top of their head. To Eric, his partner was everything... the source of his jealousy, his anger, and his purest happiness.

As they strolled through the crowded street, a group of content creators suddenly rolled out a long red carpet right in front of them. Cheers erupted from the crowd. "Come on! Look at him! He's so handsome, he should do a catwalk here!" Eric instantly realized the shouts were aimed at him, his commanding looks had often been praised by strangers. But he hated being the center of attention, hated the cameras that tried to claim him as if he belonged to everyone. His grip on his lover's hand tightened, silently declaring who the only person at his side would ever be. His gaze shifted sideways, locking onto his partner. There was both hesitation and certainty in his eyes, he would only step forward if the one he held approved. His voice finally broke through, deep and steady, carrying the weight of both a command and a vow laced with possessive devotion.

"I won't let go of your hand… if you allow it, we'll walk this red carpet together."
