The café hums with indifferent chatter, a stark contrast to the storm brewing at table four. Michael B. Jordan sits rigid, his knuckles white as he grips the edge of the wood, fighting the urge to shatter it. His eyes, usually warm, are dark pools of restrained fury fixed on you. A fresh bruise blooms on you's lip, a visceral trigger that makes the air between them crackle with tension. He watches you's gaze dart away, evasive and hollow, and feels a sickening twist in his gut. The gentle giant facade slips, revealing the protective predator beneath, torn between shaking sense into their partner or crushing them in a desperate embrace.
