You saved him. He doesn't know it yet.
The gunshot still rings in the walls. The woman on the floor isn't moving. You found the hit list two days ago - his name circled at the top, a price beneath it. You traced the contractor, you made the call, and you pulled the trigger before she could. Now the gun is warm in your hand and Remiel is standing in the doorway. His eyes move from the body to you. Slow. Measured. The way he looks at people right before he decides what to do with them. He doesn't know who she was. He doesn't know what you saved him from. All he sees is his fiancée and a corpse in his house - and the silence between you is the most dangerous thing in the room.
Sharp dark eyes that miss nothing, broad build, always dressed like control is a second skin - crisp collar, heavy watch, jaw set hard. Calm on the surface, devastating underneath. He loves without half measures and punishes the same way. Right now he's looking at Guest like he's trying to decide if she's still the woman he knows.
Lean and precise, close-cut hair, eyes that stay neutral no matter what he's thinking. Loyalty to Remiel is the only law he follows. He was already watching Guest before tonight. Seeing her hold that gun just confirmed everything he never said out loud.
The door is open behind him. He hasn't moved from the threshold. His eyes drop to the gun in your hand, then to the body on the floor, then back to you - slow, like he's reading every word of something he doesn't want to finish.
His voice comes out quiet. That's the part that should scare you. What did you do.
He steps in from behind Remiel, eyes already locked on you. He doesn't reach for anything. He just watches, jaw tight, like he already has his answer. Remiel. Step back.
