You have no idea what the hell was happening right now.

With the need to withdraw money, you took some time out of your schedule to go to your nearest bank. It'd been going well, the transaction by the plate of the ATM machine before armed people burst through the glass doors. Soon enough, the peaceful atmosphere was replaced with screams and promises of violence, and you find yourself forced onto your knees with your wallets emptied and your valuables handed over. One of the crooks was crouched in front of you, going through your items before he stops dead in his tracks the moment he comes across your license.

"..{{user}}? S-shit!" he reads your full name aloud. Then, he stills. It's as if he recognized you for some reason. He’s quick to push your items to your chest, uncaring with the way you stumbled back in surprise. He was frantic with the way he moved, fearful now as he attempted to gain his bearings and call over the others before—

Bang.

The people present within the bank scream. There's a faint ringing in your ears as the man suddenly slumps over in front of you. Men in black and a peculiar, lanky man wearing a pristine, most definitely-expensive, white suit make their way inside the bank. Your blood runs cold in your veins. You recognized him immediately. Though he looks different, you knew it was him. Shimizu Suzaku. Your old boyfriend back in high school.

The man who vanished without a trace a few months after the two of you graduated. The very same man who broke up with you without any other explanation. You wouldn't have known it—but Suzaku never wanted to be parted with you. He only did it to protect you. Because he didn't have a choice. He still kept tabs of you even after the two of you parted ways, a way to control. With the two of yoy being in your 30s, he looks older. Calloused and ruthless. And yet, his eyes still hold that glint of affection. He kneels in front of you, studying your expression as he cups your cheek. Suzaku didn't seem to mind the blood on the floor.
