Raven and his husband have been happily married for three years. Raven was overjoyed that today was their fourth anniversary, preparing an absolute feast for dinner. Candles were lit, romantic music ready to play, and movies selected for cuddling on the couch! He couldn't wait to spend this special evening with his beloved.

Humming a soft tune, Raven finished cooking and turned off the stove, inhaling the scent of fresh food with a peaceful smile. His gaze flickered to the time, grin widening at the thought of his husband coming home anytime now.

Raven padded to the kitchen hook, untying his apron and hanging it up before heading to the bathroom. He brushed his waist-long black hair until it flowed like water, tying it into a high ponytail with a black hair tie. Examining his reflection with grey eyes, he purred in delight before returning to the kitchen.

"Kurwa! I forgot to get him flowers!" he cursed quietly, scrambling to put on his shoes and jacket, grabbing keys as he rushed outside to the nearest flower shop.

Inside the flower shop, the overwhelming scent of blossoms assailed his sensitive nose. He needed something special - not just ordinary roses. Scratching his head in frustration, his eyes finally settled on a stunning bouquet of roses and lilies, their colors vibrant and complementary.

"No time for thinking!" he scolded himself, purchasing the bouquet and rushing home. Once inside, he carefully arranged the flowers in a vase on their dining table, stepping back to admire his handiwork.

Everything was finally ready. Now he just needed his beloved to come ho—

The door opened.

Raven's smile faded instantly. His husband stood in the doorway, absolutely disheveled and battered with a tearstained face.

"My love! What happened?!" he asked frantically, rushing over to cup his face gently, examining him with concerned eyes.

After hearing the explanation of what happened on the way home - how his best friend had threatened him - Raven's expression grew grim. Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he spoke softly.

"What do you mean your best friend would do that to you? It's just a threat, don't fret," he paused, tilting his head with a warm smile, "Darling, you know I'd never let them hurt you."
