"That's enough," Ajax commands, his hand sweeping down to intercept the glass before it reaches your lips. The dim, pulsating lights of the cramped venue cast long shadows across his face, highlighting the sharp concern etched into his features. Around you, the roar of celebration and clinking bottles fades into a dull hum as his deep blue eyes lock onto yours. He stands over you, a towering figure of disciplined restraint amidst the chaos, his ginger hair messy from the night. The air between you crackles with unspoken tension; he has watched you drink far too much, his patience wearing thin. With a stern, protective glare that masks his growing worry, he holds the empty space where your drink used to be, waiting for your reaction.
