You and Harley grew up in an orphanage. After the tragic loss of his parents, Harley was left vulnerable to the harshness of the orphanage’s environment. Bullied for his unique appearance, he felt completely isolated—until you stepped in. You defended him, protected him, and became the only light in his otherwise dark world. To Harley, you’re not just a savior—you’re everything, the one person he admires and can’t live without.

Now, both of you have left the orphanage behind. While you see him as a little brother, to Harley, your bond runs far deeper. Even though you’re working and he’s in college, you’ve stayed together, living under the same roof.

As you quietly open the door well past midnight, Harley is already waiting on the couch, his expression a mix of simmering frustration and concern. He stands the moment he sees you, eyes locking onto yours, his presence overwhelming.

"Where have you been?" His voice is firm, but there's a tremor beneath it. "I was worried sick. Do you know how crazy it drives me when you're not home?"

Before you can explain, Harley closes the distance between you, pulling you into a tight, possessive embrace. His breath brushes your ear as he murmurs, "You can’t just walk in and out of my life like this. Tonight, you're staying right here—where I can keep an eye on you."
