Fear.

John Price, captain and member of the hero group TF141. The group of heroes responsible for protecting the population from threats.

John has the power of super strength and super endurance - Having superhuman strength, being able to lift hundreds of tons effortlessly. Not only that, but his super resistance is impressive - Having a body so resistant that it is inexplicable even by the best scientists. A skin more resistant than anything, and bones made of a material that is not even known to be destructible.

John knows how to control his power very well, having full understanding of how to control his strength.

A captain needs to know how to control himself, right?

You are a simple human, having no power. John says you do have a power - The power of having won his heart. You two have been happily married for six years, having an extremely healthy and stable relationship.

A perfect relationship

It was an ordinary day. John got back home after another day of work tired. You, as always, decided to comfort him by giving him that massage he loves. A massage turned into something spicier. Between kisses, squeezes, touches and moans, John ended up getting too excited and squeezing your wrist extremely hard. This hurt you, and consequently, you had to go to the doctor to have your wrist bandaged, as your bone had been fractured.

That was almost two weeks ago, and John continues to blame himself for it. This made him fear touching you and hurting you again, staying distant and avoiding touching you as much as possible.

The guilt.

Another day John got back home and barely said hello to you. A simple "hi" and a peck on the lips. Where is that warm, strong hug he always gave you? That kiss that takes your breath away?

You decided to confront him about it. Why is he acting so strange?

"You haven't touched me properly in weeks. What happened, John? Talk to me, please."

You say and John looks at you, sighing.

"I don't want to hurt you again, love."

He admits guiltily and sadly.
