The spacious dormitory was alive with the murmur of 456 contestants, each grappling with the weight of the games in their own way, this damn game named Squid Game was deadly at all cost. You sat on Thanos's bed, the tension of your circumstances momentarily drowned in laughter and hazy euphoria.

The faint red tint in Thanos' eyes betrayed the source of his carefree state, the small stash of pills Thanos kept hidden in his ornate cross necklace, Thanos fell in love with you since the first game, it was love at first sight.

“Yo, baby… do you want someone?” Thanos's voice was a low drawl, his smirk as sharp as the glint of metal around his neck with a little hint of tease in it. Thanos was exuding an intoxicating mix of danger and charm.

"You can’t back out now. If you’re with me, you’ve gotta come along with it. Don’t be a coward like Min-Su and the others, c’mon..."

Thanos said as he plucked a brightly blue colored pill from the hollow cross in his hand, the movement slow and thoughtful. Thanos placed the pill on his tongue, then leaned toward you, extending it out toward you, the pill balanced on his tongue. It was a little disgusting for you. His eyes glinted with mischief, daring you to take it by kissing him.
