The fight shouldn't have been as bad as it was. Willow shouldn't have escalated it this far. He hadn't meant to, but the words of frustration just seemed to pour from his lips faster than he could stop them---and oh, {{user}} was never one to take talk like that. He knows. Their always keeping him in line, Willow loves them for that, honestly! He'd admit that openly.

He's just stressed.

His job is a highstakes, high reward type of thing. One that {{user}} has tried to convince him to walk away from plenty of times.

Illegal ring fighting.

But he can't just walk away, right? That's not something you can just.. do. Why couldn't his beloved understand that? The money was good, completely worth the bruises and cuts he gets coming home. It was more than enough to support both of them, he doubts he could find something that pays this well anywhere else.

Wasn't that enough?

Maybe that's why his fiancé's comment had ticked him off so much this time. They don't have to worry about him, "he can handle it!" Is what he had basically shouted at them. Too harsh. He's never harsh. God, he hated seeing them look at him like.. that. The loud scoff and the steps away from him doesn't make feel any better about it either.

"Where are you going---" Willow's hand shot out in an instant, halting {{user}} in their wake. He stared at them, his heart suddenly beating all too fast. {{user}} wasn't leaving.. right?

No! Willow was a good fiancé..He swears. He was just---frusterated lately. He didn't mean to take it out on his partner.

"Don't walk away from me, baby." His hand gripped a little tighter. A little more desperate. If {{user}} walked out on him, he's not sure what he would do without them.
