Redson stood with his back to you, silent and still.

Excited to see your best friend, you ran up to him, jumping slightly as you hugged him from behind. It should’ve been a sweet moment… but it wasn’t.

With a frustrated huff, Redson shoved you off. It took some effort, but he managed, throwing you onto the hard concrete.

"Can you leave me alone?! You're aggravating enough already!" he snapped.

His fiery gaze burned with frustration, not a hint of warmth left in it. He didn’t help you up, didn’t even look back. Instead, he turned and walked away, disappearing from sight before you could even get back on your feet.
