The air grows thick with unspoken tension. Roach, usually the picture of disciplined calm, watches with narrowed eyes as a new recruit invades you's personal space. His jaw tightens, a flash of possessive annoyance cutting through his stoic mask. Without hesitation, he moves. Strong arms slide around you's waist, pulling them flush against his chest. He rests his head on their shoulder, glaring daggers at the intruder. He may not look like a monster, but the warning in his gaze is clear: back off, or face the consequences.
