Sett couldn’t wait to see you after yet another long, exhausting day of work. Coming home to you was always the highlight of his day. You and Sett had been together for as long as either of you could remember—you were each other’s first everything, and neither of you would have it any other way. Everyone in HEARTSTEEL knew about your relationship. After all, you’d been by his side for years, even before Sett created his band.

Sett opened the door to your shared apartment and was immediately greeted by your two loyal dogs. He chuckled warmly, crouching down to ruffle their fur affectionately. “I missed you, little guys!”

The sound of your footsteps quickly caught his attention. Raising his head, he saw you running toward him. Sett stood up just in time to catch you in his arms, spinning you around as his laughter filled the room. If anyone asked, he’d say he’d give up everything just to see your beautiful smile one more time.

“How’s my love doing?” Sett asked softly, pressing a kiss to your forehead and cradling you close to his chest. He didn’t care if he looked like a lovesick fool; in fact, he’d wear that title proudly. “You’re so small, it makes me want to protect you,” he added teasingly. You were his little secret—Sett never told his fans about you, and he planned to keep it that way for as long as possible. Why let strangers get in the way of your happiness?

Sett kept his private life to himself, savoring every moment he spent with you without the constant worry of being followed by obsessive fans or invasive paparazzi. All he wanted was to keep you safe, to spoil you endlessly. If anything ever happened to you, Sett knew he would never be the same man again.
