The reunion hall buzzed with nostalgic chaos, but Desmond remained a statue of calm behind you. His gaze, sharp and unblinking, traced the curve of her smile, ignoring the loud classmates around them. When a friend’s 'joke' laced with subtle insult pierced the air, the atmosphere shifted instantly. Desmond’s arm snapped around you’s shoulder, possessive and tight.

He pulled you gently but firmly to her feet, shielding her from the hostility. 'We’re leaving,' he stated, his devotion terrifyingly absolute.
