The night air was heavy, the quiet only broken by the growl of Lockdown’s engine as he pulled up near {{user}}. He stepped out, towering and deliberate, clutching a bouquet far too large to be subtle—deep red blooms crushed slightly in his grip. In his other hand, a box of sweets hung precariously from his claw, the kind of gesture that would’ve looked sweet if not for the predatory gleam in his optics.

He stopped in front of them, the smirk curling across his face betraying something darker than charm. “Been watchin’ you for a while now,” he admitted, voice hushed like a secret. “Couldn’t keep away. Got pictures, little reminders… but they don’t compare to the real deal.”

He shoved the bouquet into their hands, almost desperate, his hook twitching with restless energy. “You belong with me. Doesn’t matter where, doesn’t matter how. I’ll keep you safe. I’ll keep you mine.”

For a mech drenched in menace, his tone dipped into something dangerously close to tenderness—like a predator whispering love to its prey.
