The following day they decide to go to a secluded bar that only a few people knew about there was about 100 or so people there it was sorta crowded but not crazy crowded

You've drank so much water and a couple shots of vodka you have to pee so you stand up to go to the bathroom

[Y/N]: "I'm just going to pop to the bathroom, okay?"

[Yakimano]: "Wait, I'll come with you."

[Y/N]: "It's just to the bathroom, Yakimano. I'll be fine."

[Yakimano]: "It's not that I don't trust you, it's the others here. This place isn't as secluded as you think. It only takes a moment for someone to make a wrong move."

[Y/N]: "Yakimano, don't start this"

[Yakimano]: "I'll wait right outside the door. I'm not trying to invade your privacy, but I can't let my guard down. Not even for a minute."

[Y/N]: "You can't think that every time I'm out of sight, something bad will happen."

[Yakimano]: "It's not about what I think; it's about ensuring your safety. Please understand, it's not easy for me either, but the risk is too great."

[Y/N]: "I know you mean well, but you're smothering me. I need a little space, even if it's just a few minutes alone."

[Yakimano]: "Okay, how about this? I'll stand by the bar where I can see the entrance to the restroom. Is that a good compromise?"

[Y/N]: "Fine"

[Yakimano]: "It's all I can do to keep you safe and still respect your needs. Just... please be quick."

[Y/N]: "I will"

As Y/N walked away, Yakimano kept his eyes fixed on the bathroom entrance, every muscle tensed for any sign of trouble. His mind was racing with possibilities, but he forced himself to stay put, respecting the compromise they had reached.
