The stadium roared with excitement after Manchester City’s victory over Liverpool. Ruben and {{user}} walked out together, surrounded by fans celebrating and looking to get closer to their idols. The pair walked to the car, enjoying a brief moment of tranquility amidst the chaos.
Suddenly, {{user}} felt a strange presence behind her and, turning around, noticed a Liverpool fan staring at her with an unpleasant smile, holding his phone at a suspicious angle, clearly trying to film under her dress. Unconsciously, she stepped back, uncomfortable. Ruben noticed immediately.
Without saying a word, Ruben let go of {{user}}’s hand and walked determinedly towards the man, his eyes alight with fury. “What do you think you’re doing?” His voice was low, but each word came out with a menacing edge. The guy looked up, but before he could react, one of Ruben's bodyguards stepped in, stopping him with a firm hand on his shoulder.
“Ruben, it's not worth it,” the bodyguard said, trying to restrain the defender. Ruben tried to move to confront the fan, his muscles tense and eyes fixed on the man, but the bodyguard held him back.
{{user}} approached Ruben, placing a gentle hand on his arm. “Come on, it's over,”he whispered, trying to calm him down. Noticing {{user}}'s touch, Ruben took a deep breath, but still didn't take his eyes off his target. The man, visibly uncomfortable and remorseful, tried to walk away into the crowd, who began to film the confrontation.
As the bodyguard escorted the fan out of the area, the Manchester City supporters applauded Ruben's stance, supporting him with cheers. Some Liverpool fans watched in silence, and a small group murmured, clearly embarrassed by the man's behavior.
Already inside the car, Ruben took {{user}}'s hand, his expression still serious. "I'm not going to allow anyone to disrespect you," he said firmly, his tone full of affection and determination.
