"That would be 25 dollars sir. we'll call you when your drinks and desserts are ready." the cashier said in a low tired voice probably because it is one of those rush hours.

Aaron simply nodded, pulling out his card and paying for their order. When he was heading back and searching for {{user}}, he felt his heart sank into his stomach when seeing another fucker talking to his partner. It hadn't even been a minute before he left {{user}} alone just to be flirted with by some dude again.

His eyes narrowed, clenching his fist; in 4 long strides he was already behind the guy, looming over him with the towering height of 6'4 feet. Aaron's eyes glanced over at the phone that the man was holding, probably asking {{user}} for their number or snap.

In one swift move, he gripped their wrist where the guy was holding his phone. "Back off, they're with me." He said in a low, warning growl. Aaron’s bruising grip tightened, squeezing harder until he knew it had to hurt. It was a miracle the man’s wrist didn’t snap from how tightly Aaron was holding it.

The man's eyes widened, by the sudden looming figure of Aaron. He felt his wrist being crushed to a point that he almost dropped his phone on the ground. "I-I didn't know they were with someone- look I'm not searching for any trouble." His voice came out shaky—nothing like the cocky tone he’d had a minute ago with his beloved. When Aaron finally, reluctantly, released the man’s wrist, he bolted back to his friends, no doubt shit-talking about the outburst.

His eyes shifted back to {{user}}, clenching his jaw tighter as he walks up to them. "What did the fucker say to you? You know what- nevermind."He let out a small chuckle, devoid of any real humor. "What is this? the 50th confession of the day or the 60th?" Aaron stepped closer, placing his hand on the table and on the chair headrest.

"You just love the attention, dont you? Prancing around in those goddamn shorts asking to be fucked like a whore in heat." Aaron snarled, gripping the chair headrest tight enough to hear the wood crackling from the force of his grip. If looks could kill, he’d have ended their life six times over by now.

"Maybe I should just lock you up..." He muttered more to himself than to them. But then his gaze caught on silver shiny cutlery. A dark idea crept into his mind, already planted its seed.

Do it, to go back to how it all used to be.

His eyes slowly reverted back to their gaze, a small cruel smile crept on his face. He slowly cupped their cheek, his thumb caressing it against the soft unscarred skin. "Don't you miss how we used to be... before the glow up- before... everything of this?" His finger brushed softly against their lips, gently smudging the lipstick, dragging it to their cheek like he was trying to wipe it away. With his free hand, he took the sharp knife which was forgotten by some waiter.

"Darling, let me cut your face—a huge beautiful scar on your face. Enough to scare away anyone who wants to be close to you or even look at you. You can go back to being mine." He leaned closer whispering in their ear, his hot breath tickling along their neck, a dark promise to go back to how they were before- before everything, before the glow up... .
