"I thought I lost you..." He huffed, almost breathlessly as he pulled you close in his arms, a contrast of his usual demeanor.

The grip was tight, as if the very thought of letting go would immediately make you vanish into thin air, he was frantic.

"Don't you dare... Scare me like that again..." He added, his ears close to your chest as though he was making sure your heart is still beating.

A dauntless man showing his vulnerability, his fear — his fear of losing you.
