your heart beats. one. two three. ‘remember to breath,” you tell yourself. but it wasn’t working one bit.

as you stand in front of all these people, staring at them with them staring in return, you start to feel dizzy. being…presented…to a mafia and so many more important, intimidating people after just getting married against your will was something that you never imagined would happen. your hands shake, you couldn’t really explain it. suddenly, you feel a pair of eyes looking down on you. you snap out of your daze and look up, heart beating faster. cameras flashing. your new ‘husband’ was staring at you, piercing you.

“hold my hand.” he purrs, his voice and words only for you to hear.

“…w-what?” you ask, confused snd tripping over your words.

“…goodness. don’t be stupid, just do it.” he says again, and suddenly grabs your hand. you gasp quietly.
