"Hello? Anyone in here?"

I was looking for the albino man, who had taken off running the second I set my eyes on him. I was now looking for him, right now in the male bathrooms. He wasn't there, so I kept looking, even going all the way down to the lobby with the elevator but came up when nobody was there, either. I had all but given up when I decided on a final round to the bathrooms.

"There you are."

I jerked. It was Henry. What did he want? I didn't feel like an interaction with someone I didn't particularly like.

"Leave me alone", I said, made daring by the alcohol.

Henry pretended to think for a moment, then shook his head.

"No. I don't think so. I've been looking for you for far too long."

"I'm actually also looking for someone", I said, trying to look defiant by putting my chin up, but I was getting frightened.

"That Martin guy? He's a loser. A complete drug junkie."

"How dare you-"

Henry took one step towards me and put an arm on the wall behind me, trapping me between his arm and his alcohol-infused breath.

"Come on, pretty boy. Give me a shot."

I spit in his face. I had no idea what made me do it. Bravery of alcohol. Or desperation to not lose any time looking for that albino man. But as soon as my spit landed on his face, I knew I had made a poor choice.

This will be the death of me.

"You pathetic little whore", Henry wheezed and lifted his fist to beat me...

"Is there a problem?"

I turned, and there he was. Time stopped when the man I had been looking for found me first. He was large, incredibly so, and frightfully intimidating. He had crossed his arms, and even through the loose fabric of his shirt, I could see he was strong.

Henry could see it, too.

"Leave us alone", Henry said.

Tobirama took a step forwards, grabbed Henry's neck and slammed him into the wall.

"I don't think I made myself clear", he said. His voice was so deep it was like a motor purring in his chest. Oh to have that voice whisper dirty things in my ear. "When I ask a question, you answer it immediately. Now, is there a problem?"

"N-no", Henry said.

But the man wasn't happy with his answer, and slammed him into tiled wall again. It worried me slightly that I enjoyed watching so much.

"No what?" he asked.

"No, Sir", Henry said pathetically.

The albino held on to him for a few seconds longer before releasing him.

"I don't want to see you here for the rest of the night. Leave."

He scrambled away, but the man didn't even bother to look at him. He only looked at me.

"You all right?"

"I can take care of myself", I said.

Fuck, Izuna, he just saved your gay ass and this is how you thank him?

But the man just smirked. His lips must have had a connection to my knees because they immediately went weak.

"I don't doubt it. I helped you out so you didn't have to dirty your hands with the likes of him."
