"Why do you look at me like that?" Bruce asked, his voice stern with a hint of curiosity. "As if you wish to end my life with nothing but your gaze."

Lucas's jaw tightened, and for a moment, there was a long pause before he said anything, but when he did, his voice laced with a barely contained fury, broke the silence. "Because you have taken everything from me," he said, the words heavy with an emotion Bruce had long since buried within himself.

He felt his heartbeat quicken as Lucas's glare pinned him down, even though they were sitting several meters away with a large stone table separating them. The intensity of Lucas's glare was unsettling, but also thrilling.

He could see the pain in Lucas's eyes, the rage and despair that was just barely contained. He had seen that look before, and he knew a way to make it erupt.

"I didn't take anything from you," Bruce said casually. He could see Lucas was about to boil over, and he wanted to see it unfold.

Lucas, clenched his fists to his sides, frustration building up inside of him at Bruce's comment.

"You took away MY innocence!" Lucas, yelled. Unable to keep his emotions in check. "You BROKE me! You're worse than the auctioneers who sold me!"

Bruce turned away, unable to bear the weight of his gaze any longer. "Go back to your room, Lucas," He ordered, the words tasting like ash in his mouth. "And do not let me find you outside of it again."
