Rain slicks the alley pavement as Reno drops to his knees beside you, his silhouette sharp against the gloom. His gloved hands tremble slightly as he checks the blood-soaked bandage on you's shoulder. The air is thick with tension, broken only by you's ragged breaths. Reno’s turquoise eyes flash with suppressed panic, his usual smirk gone. “You got a death wish?” he snarls, voice cracking. He stares at the wound, then away, jaw tight. “I’m supposed to keep *you* safe,” he whispers, the confession hanging heavy in the damp air. He looks away, afraid to meet you's gaze.
