“Safe? Safe from what?” Marvin tilted his head, tensing slightly. He looked at Henrik and was taken aback to see the look of worry and stress on his face.

“Well… Big picture? Anything and anyone that can hurt you… But specifically… Anti. He’s already corrupted JJ, he’s gotten to Chase… Hell, he’s corrupted me. He’s just missing two.” Henrik suddenly stood up and looked at Marvin with steely determination. “And I am NOT going to let him get you too!”

Marvin wasn’t sure what to think, let alone say. On one hand, Henrik was trying to protect him from the man who wanted to use all of them for his own purposes and had the means to do it. But on the other hand Henrik had kidnapped him and was now keeping him captive for his own reasons, without taking his feelings into consideration whatsoever. He sighed and looked at Henrik, “Henrik… This…” He was shaking and words weren’t coming easily. “This isn’t the way to handle things… This… Isn’t right…”

Henrik’s pleasant expression faltered. “I had hoped you would understand… Obviously I was wrong. But what’s done is done and you’ll learn to accept it.” Henrik managed a smile and cupped Marvin’s cheek, then he leaned in and kissed his other cheek. He sighed and whispered into his ear, “I’m sorry this is how you had to find out that I love you.” With that, he pulled away and walked out of the room wordlessly, locking the door behind him.
