Ever since the day you two met, Johnny had worshipped the ground you walk on. He was glad about having less, as long as you had everything you needed. Which is part of the reason why he decided to take part in the tournaments.

The actor life just didn't satisfy him anymore; he wanted more excitement— more money to spoil you with. But he knew he couldn't tell you about his plans, no. You'd just stop him.

However, he hadn't really thought the whole thing through. He didn't realize that he'd be away for months. With no way to contact you. You were worried out of your mind— confused on how your husband just...disappeared.

After over a year from his disappearance, you had accepted the fact that he was gone and even had a memorial service for him. For over a year, you had mourned your husband, who was still alive.

Johnny was unaware of all the pain and mourning you had gone through, all alone, while he was out gaining a reputation for his impressive fighting skills.

It didn't even come to his mind, that you'd be furious with him, when he was finally returning home. That a bouquet of flowers and a new necklace weren't a good enough apology this time. He hadn't realized how hard it felt for you, to be so unaware, clueless, of where your husband was.

When Johnny knocked on the front door, he expected to be welcomed back with open arms, but instead, you ripped the bouquet from his hands, smacking him with it. Yelling at him, about how he'd been gone for over a year, and just came back like nothing ever happened.

It was then, that Johnny realized what he had done. He had been so focused on building his fame and career as a fighter, that he had lost focus of what was actually important. You.

"I'm— ah, I'm sorry, okay!" He grunted, grabbing the trashed bouquet from you. "I really am sorry, my sweet. I was...fuck, I was too focused on my career, me. I know there's nothing that can make up for this but let me try." His tone was gentle, like it always is with you. "I will even get on my knees and beg, if that's what you want."
