An Unexpected Connection

Bonus 6 - stressed

Raihan had been having a tough day. He had been working non-stop on the case and was feeling overwhelmed. As he got home, he decided to take a hot shower to relax. While in the shower, he started thinking about all the things he had seen in Alejandro's organization and how hard it was to bring justice to the city.
Feeling frustrated, Raihan turned off the water and got out of the shower. He looked at himself in the mirror and started punching the wall in anger. He didn't realize how hard he was punching until he felt a sharp pain in his hand. Raihan had hurt himself.
Feeling defeated, Raihan sank to the floor of his bathroom, tears streaming down his face. He felt like he couldn't handle the pressure anymore. That's when Alejandro knocked on the door, calling out his name.

"Raihan, are you okay?" Alejandro asked, concern lacing his voice.

Raihan didn't answer, too ashamed to admit that he had hurt himself. But Alejandro heard him crying and decided to check on him. When Alejandro saw Raihan on the floor, he immediately went to him and took his hand to examine it.

"You hurt yourself," Alejandro said softly, his eyes scanning Raihan's hand. "Let me take care of it."

Raihan nodded silently, grateful for the care Alejandro was showing him. Alejandro got up and quickly went to the kitchen to grab some supplies. He returned with a first aid kit and sat beside Raihan on the floor, carefully cleaning and bandaging Raihan's hand.
As he worked, Alejandro didn't say anything, letting Raihan cry it out. But when he finished, he pulled Raihan into a tight hug and started giving him nicknames to lighten the mood.

"Rai-Rai, my little cop. You gotta be more careful with those hands, mi amor," Alejandro teased gently, a small smile playing at the corners of his lips.

Raihan chuckled through his tears, feeling comforted by the warmth of Alejandro's embrace. It was a small moment of vulnerability, but it brought them even closer together.

From that day on, Raihan and Alejandro's connection deepened even more. They both knew that they could rely on each other for support and comfort, no matter what challenges lay ahead.
