ba-DUMP, ba-DUMP, ba-DUMP—
For a moment, his surroundings melted away. All he saw was Angus. His eyes remained fixated on the monster.
He won’t make the same mistake twice.
Quinn couldn’t hear anything above the blood rushing to his ears or the thudding of his erratic heartbeat. His muscles were tense, ready to strike like a vicious black mamba. If the crusty old man moved an inch closer, he wouldn’t hesitate to retaliate.
While Quinn couldn’t hear anything, he could read lips. No credit card … terminating … end of the month. Suddenly, it clicked. Angus was cutting Teo off permanently. If the old bastard didn’t pay for Teo’s expenses, it meant—
Message received.
Without warning, Angus pivoted and left. Once the monster vanished, Quinn snapped back to reality with a gasp. A wave of dizziness washed over him. He heaved a shuddering breath.
To protect you hung in the air.
Without a word, Quinn retracted his hands and clutched his left palm. Due to his right hand’s condition — he couldn’t curl it into a fist without excessive force — Quinn swung with his left fist. Since his adrenaline faded, the pain returned with a vengeance. His knuckles absolutely throbbed.

“Teo, um, a-are you a-alri—“
All the sudden, the aforementioned blonde whirled around and pinned him with a hard stare. Quinn flinched in response. As his adrenaline waned, his earlier confidence crumbled. His shoulders slumped. He instinctively curled in on himself, appearing small and insignificant. “I-I-I’m sorry,”
Quinn murmured. He flinched at the vivid imagery. He wasn’t ashamed of his body. He didn’t care if he flashed the crusty old man. However, it wasn’t his intention to make his first impression memorable and not in a good way. “H-He hurt you, I couldn’t stand here and—“
Quinn bit his lip and reached out. He cupped Teo’s face and inspected the angry handprint on his lover’s cheek. His fingers trembled. He blinked back a sudden onslaught of tears. “I-I don’t care … I … don’t care what he thinks of me. I don’t care if he thinks about me like this. All I care about is you, Tay. I’m sorry, I—“
A whimper exhibited from the back of his throat. Tears trickled down his face. “Please don’t be mad,”
he hiccuped. Quinn bowed his head and lowered his gaze. ”Y-You’re always protecting me, I just … for once, I wanted, I—“
