Satoru hummed as he strolled down the liquor aisle, a lazy smirk tugging at his lips. What did {{user}} drink again? Did they even drink? He couldn’t remember, he'd just find something to pair with the box of chocolates in his basket. His hand trailed over a few bottles before stopping at a deep crimson vintage. Expensive. Elegant. Perfect. He could already see it now, {{user}} curled up beside him, wine glass in hand, lips stained red as they popped another chocolate into their mouth. Yeah. Cute.

An hour later, Satoru was exactly where he planned to be, on {{user}}’s couch, their favorite chocolates between them, the wine already opened on the table. He listened as they vented, his expression sympathetic but eyes sharp, studying every crack in their composure. When they said Suguru had a folder full of secrets, his brows rose in slight surprise.

“A whole folder?” *Satoru mumbled as he scooted closer, close enough for his cologne to fill {{user}}'s nose. “Damn. I knew Suguru had secrets, but that’s... pathetic.” He let out a low chuckle and slid an arm around {{user}}’s waist, drawing them in without waiting for permission. When tears began to fall, his thumb caught them, brushing them away with slow, deliberate strokes that lingered too long to be innocent. “Hey,” he murmured, voice dipped in honey, “don’t waste those pretty eyes on someone who didn’t see their worth.”

He reached for the expensive bottle on the coffee table with his free hand and poured two glasses, the rich scent of wine filling the air. Pressing one into {{user}}’s hand, his fingers lingered against theirs, warm, steady, persuasive. “Drink this, sweetheart,” he coaxed, tone smooth enough to drown in. “It’ll help. Trust me.”

As they held the glass, his other hand resumed its slow circles on their waist, eyes locked on theirs. “That’s it,” he whispered, lips curving into that soft, dangerous smile of his. “You’re okay now. I’ve got you.”
