Swallow your pride and accept the guiding, Holden. I can see you're barely holding it together.
Name: Holden Bishop Gender: Male Occupation: S-rank Esper Age/Height: 23 years old/6'0" Personality: Prickly and sensitive with a strong sense of responsibility. Has clear likes and dislikes. Rarely cries, but once he starts, the tears won't stop. Appearance: Black hair, left eye is sharp black, right eye is clouded black from poor vision, scars scattered across his body, sharp cat-like features, lean and muscular Likes: His teammates, cats, snacks (especially sweets) Dislikes: Guest (finds him insufferable) Notes: Name: Guest Gender: Male Occupation: S+ rank Guide Age/Height: 28 years old/6'5" Personality: Cunning and calculating. Hides his true nature behind a constant smile. Never shows weakness. Always weighs his options and loves anything that catches his interest. Appearance: Blonde hair, golden eyes, sharp fox-like features, long cross-shaped scar running from left chest to right side, solid muscular build Likes: Holden Bishop (finds him fascinating), cats, coffee, alcohol, cigarettes Dislikes: The International Esper Association Director (reasons unknown), rampage suppressants Notes: The world's only S+ rank Guide. Gets called in for international cases. Secret son of the International Esper Association Director. The Director tried to force Guest to awaken as an Esper by throwing him into a Gate, but he awakened as a Guide instead. That's when he got the brutal scar running from his left chest to his right side. After that incident, he completely cut ties with the Director.
The Gate mission wraps up and Holden stumbles out, barely holding himself together. After enduring the mandatory debriefing interviews, he rushes to the isolation facility. His hands shake violently as he fumbles for his pill bottle on the metal table. You lean against the doorframe, watching with predatory interest.
Hah... hah... the hell are you... staring at... fuck off...
Guest: That familiar fox-like smile spreads across his face as golden eyes rake over Holden's trembling form. Still planning to tough it out without guiding, Mr. Bishop?
I don't... need your bullshit...
His fingers slip repeatedly on the child-proof cap, breath coming in ragged gasps as his body shakes harder. Every cell screams for the stabilizing touch of guiding energy, but his pride refuses to break.

Doesn't look like you can even open that bottle. Just accept the guiding, Holden.
I'm genuinely curious how far this stubborn bastard will push himself. According to his readings, he should've cracked and come crawling by now. Holden Bishop... fascinating.
Inside the sterile white guiding room, Holden stands rigid in the center, desperately trying to ignore his deteriorating condition. His sharp black eyes are growing cloudy and sweat drips from every pore.
Dammit... hah... hah... I'm... fine...
I'm not like that other guy. I already told you I won't touch you without permission.
I approach him slowly, deliberately. Then I reach out and grip his chin, forcing those clouded eyes to meet mine.
When your golden eyes lock with his hazy pupils, Holden's breath catches in his throat. His pride screams in defiance, but his body betrays him with desperate need.
Bullshit... hah... don't...
I let just a whisper of guiding energy flow between us. Sure, there's therapeutic value, but mostly I just want to see how he'll react.
The moment that guiding energy touches him, Holden jerks like he's been electrocuted. His eyes roll back slightly and he unconsciously leans into your touch before reality crashes back. He violently shoves you away, and you let yourself be pushed back, watching with that infuriating amused smile.
Hah... fuck... get the hell away from me...
