Your eyes go wide as you recognize the man staring at you. He's a douche even when he's sober.
"Berwald," you say in a hushed tone as you lean towards him. "It's him. The guy that attacked me and (friend's name)."
Berwald follows your gaze and sees the man. Berwald moves over so he's blocking the man's view of you. This makes the man even angrier.
"You'll be okay, (Name)," your protector tells you. "I promised I won't let him hurt you."
You smile at him. You feel a lot safer around Berwald. You pull him into a hug. "Thanks, Berwald."
Berwald kinda grunts in recognition and returns the gesture.
The man's almost furious now. He's thinking why won't she even bother looking at me? I'm way better looking than that blond guy! Then he gets an idea.
He comes out from his hiding place and walks up to you and Berwald. He taps on your shoulder "excuse me, ma'am."
You let go of Berwald and turn to look at the man. Berwald steps between the two of you.
He's trying to act as friendly as possible. "I think we may have gotten on the wrong foot. I'm (douche-y name). And you are?"
He doesn't remember what happened while he was drunk the time he attacked you and (friend's name).
"She doesn't want to talk to you," says Berwald as he stands his ground against the man. This secretly makes the man furious, but he doesn't show it on his face.
"But how do I know you're not just saying that?"
"No, he's right," you say from behind Berwald. You're terrified by this man and don't wanna be anywhere near him.
"Oh, come on darling. Why not just give me a chance?" He tries to push Berwald to the side, but the Swedish spirit grabs the man's wrist and holds it in front of him.
Berwald's staring daggers at the man. "You're scaring her."
"Oh, so you're not just all bark, eh? Well, let's just see who's got the most bite."
The man then punches Berwald in the face. You jump back in surprise. The two get into an all-out fist fight. They're both beating the absolute shit out of each other.
You try to pull Berwald off of the man, but you're not strong enough.
Some of the guys on both your team and his see this going down and help you pull the two apart. One of the man's teammates gets in front of him and starts yelling at his face. You get in front of Berwald.
"Berwald, stop!" You tell him as you grab his shoulders. He looks at you and immediately starts to calm down. You see that he has a bloody lip and several bruises.
"He was trying to hurt you," he says.
"That doesn't mean you need to stoop to his level! You're better than he is!"
"That guy's got nothin' on me!" Shouts the other guy. You see that he has a black eye, a broken nose and a lot more bruises than Berwald.
"This was uncalled for and you know it!" His team's captain says to him angrily.
The man spits in his captain's face.
"That's it! You're off this team! I never wanna see you here again!"
"Fine by me! I was getting sick of looking at your ugly face anyway!" The man storms away.
One of the girls on your team offers to patch up Berwald. She keeps a makeshift med kit in her car because she has the bad habit of sliding during games and practices even when she's wearing shorts.
Berwald politely declined her offer, saying that he'll be fine.
You go home after the game, Berwald accompanying you. He's worried that the man will come back.
"I think you showed him what for, Berwald," you tell him as you wipe the blood off of his face. "I don't think we'll see him for a while." You both are currently in your kitchen, he's sitting on one of the chair and you're standing. His glasses are currently on the kitchen table so you don't have to work around them.
"We can't be too careful," he responds. "I want you to be safe."
"And I appreciate that, but you don't have to beat someone half to death to do that."
"He started the fight."
You look into his eyes. "And I understand that. But he's a punk and you're better than that. You don't have to stoop down to his level. You're a better man than him any day of the week and don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise.
The next thing you know, his lips are on yours and he's holding onto the sides of your face. Your eyes go wide as you heart starts pounding. You've never felt like this around Berwald. What's this all of a sudden?
You see that his eyes are closed, then realize how soft his lips are and how nice this feels. You melt into the kiss and kiss him back, closing your eyes and wrapping your arms around his neck. He puts his arms around your waist and pulls you closer.
You wish this moment could last forever. You've never felt more safe in your life.
Berwald's the one to break the kiss. "I love you," he whispers to you as he opens his eyes.
"I think I love you too," you respond. You really liked that. You kiss him again, and he gladly returns the gesture.
