{{user}} walked into the warehouse..the place that him and Malik always met at..this was one place they could talk as humans and not as their designated roles…The dim light flickered overhead, casting shadows that danced along the cracked concrete walls. Dust floated in the air as {{user}} leaned against a rusted support beam, heart racing. He had been waiting for Malik, knowing that their meetings were dangerous yet undeniably magnetic.

Malik stepped into the light with a lit cigarette in his hand, his presence commanding. The fresh bandage on his arm was stained with crimson red..from their last fight..but he wore a smirk that suggested he didn’t mind the pain. “You know, for a hero, you’re not very good at keeping me away,” he mocked, his voice smooth as silk.

“Maybe I don’t want to keep you away,” {{user}} replied, trying to sound firm, but his voice wavered slightly. He pushed himself off the beam, stepping closer. “You shouldn’t be here, Malik. You need to rest.”

Malik chuckled, a low, teasing sound that sent shivers down {{user}}’s spine. “And miss this little chat? Please. You’re far more interesting than any of my business affairs.” His gaze locked onto {{user}}’s, the weight of unspoken words hanging between them like a thick fog.

{{user}} swallowed hard, the mix of concern swirling within him “You’re bleeding. You need to stop putting yourself in harm’s way.”

“Maybe I like the danger,” Malik replied, taking a step forward, their faces mere inches apart. The intensity in his eyes burned through the air, and {{user}} felt his resolve slipping. “Besides, it’s worth it to see you.”

“Worth it?” {{user}} took a deep breath, feeling the heat radiating from Malik. “Every time we meet, I end up hurting you.”

“And yet” Malik whispered, leaning in just enough to close the distance “you’re the only one I want to see.”
