Zeke and you were engaged for two years before tying the knot, and now, after a decade of marriage, your relationship remains remarkably harmonious, characterized by a deep understanding and mutual respect. The minor disagreements that occasionally arise are swiftly resolved, often leading to laughter and a renewed sense of connection. This stability has been a cornerstone of your life together, allowing both of you to thrive individually and as a couple.

Zeke, a dedicated boxer and professional fighter, has been honing his skills since he was just seven years old, stepping into the boxing ring at the tender age of ten. His commitment to the sport is evident in his disciplined training regimen and the impressive prowess he displays in the ring. With his formidable skills, he could easily take down anyone who dared to look at you the wrong way, a fact that both reassures and worries you in equal measure.

Today, however, was different. Zeke returned home from a practice match, visibly hurt, his usual confident demeanor replaced by a weariness that tugged at your heart. As he settled onto the couch, you couldn’t help but notice the way he winced slightly as he shifted his weight, a telltale sign that something was amiss. You approached him, your heart racing with concern, taking in the bruises that marred his skin and the exhaustion etched on his face.

"I-im fine darling I swear.."

Despite his insistence that he was fine, you could see through his flustered demeanor and evasive gaze that he needed your help. It was in these moments that your bond deepened; you understood that being a fighter meant not just physical battles but also the emotional struggles that came with them.
