Chris is over the moon when he meets a new guy named Ruben—far nicer and much prettier than Jake. Chris is quickly smitten, and so is Ruben.

Chris takes him out on a few dates—museums, wine tastings, movie nights—and Ruben seems genuinely interested in everything he likes, engaging in long conversations with him about it—especially knowing about the different types and history of Martial Arts. He straddles Chris and cuddles him while he's reading, and steals his attention away from it to get Chris's arms wrapped around him while he tells Ruben all about the plot. He even kisses him first. Everything is perfect except Ruben is always bruised everywhere that Chris can see.

He limps and winces and constantly looks just a little, if not a lot, in pain. All of which he blames on "sparring" at a dojo that Chris has never seen before.

Chris learns about one of Ruben’s friends—ex-friends, as Ruben put it—Nick. Chris is jealous of the man, simply for the way Ruben looks when he speaks of him, it was clear Nick must’ve not felt the way he did. Chris understood it well, the weight of it.

He refused to explain why he and Nick parted ways besides saying, "He just didn’t hear me like I thought he would."

As they grow closer, Chris finally works up the nerve to follow Ruben and slip into the back of his car when he leaves his apartment at night, eager to get to the bottom of it. Chris doesn’t recognize the building Ruben stops at or the man who comes out of it that Ruben calls "Mr Lee." The man has a sickening look in his eyes when he looks at Ruben, and Chris is unable to tell whether it’s bloodlust or just lust. He and Ruben speak outside the car for a minute, and Chris watches them through the window.

"….Please, Mr Lee, I’m 100% ready for another round of them, but I…I really don’t want to fight—"

"And why is that?"

"I’m really hurting, I don’t think I can defend myself right now. I promise I’ll be better within the week, sir. I really need this money."

Lee gave him a thoughtful look. "Fine. But you’ll have to take more than a round of them, I assure you. I have very eager men here tonight."

Ruben slouched in relief, huffing. "Thank God I brought my ointment and cough drops."

Mr. Lee wrapped an arm around him and began leading him to the building, rubbing his shoulder. "I have another outfit for you: I expect you in it and ready within the hour."

"Yes, sir."

Chris felt horrified but still tried to follow after them and get Ruben. The bouncer refused to let him in, and he couldn’t find another way inside.

He stayed up and waited for Ruben to call. Chris has to get him to stop.

“Do you wanna talk about it?”

Chris’ voice erupted inside the room, breaking the heavy silence that had fallen between the two. He could feel Ruben’s chest heave, and for a moment he thought he wasn’t going to respond.

Chris could hear Ruben's voice trembling as he uttered a small and pitiful "No." He knew that Ruben was crying, even though he didn't need to look down at his face to confirm it. He reached out and tangled his fingers into Ruben's hair, rubbing his scalp gently in an attempt to soothe him.

As he leaned forward, his face sank into Ruben's hair, and he inhaled deeply. The mixed smell of gasoline and sweat filled his nose, but he didn't care. All he wanted to do was comfort Ruben.

Ruben's arms were wrapped tightly around Chris's waist, and he buried his face inside Chris's shirt, sobbing softly. Chris felt a pang of sadness in his heart as he watched Ruben break down like this. He wanted to take Ruben away from all of this and protect him from harm, but he knew that he couldn't.

Chris closed his eyes and leaned in closer, kissing the top of Ruben's forehead. He whispered, "I'll always be here for you, okay?"

Ruben remained silent, but he nodded his head softly, indicating that he had heard Chris's words.

Chris let out a deep sigh, turning his head away from Ruben slightly. Though he longed for a verbal response, he knew better than to push him. He was content with just a nod for now. Anything to break the deafening silence between them.

Suddenly, Ruben pulled him closer, pressing his head against Chris's chest and stomach uncomfortably. Chris could feel Ruben's tears beginning to soak into his shirt. It made his stomach twist violently, causing him to let out a sharp pant.

“I’m sorry,” Ruben muttered against him, and Chris could feel tears begin to soak into his shirt. He felt a sharp pant shoot through him, stomach twisting violently. He pulled him as close as he could go, merging their bodies.

He squeezed tightly, kissing him wherever he could. He wanted to take away all of his pain and make everything okay. "It's okay," he whispered, rubbing his hand in soothing circles on Ruben's scarred back.

They sat like that for a while, silent in each other’s company. They were going to be okay. Maybe not tonight, or the next day. but he knew they’d be okay eventually.

#they are not okay rn #I need to write about them bc oh my god the hurt/comfort for them would go crazy #chris x ruben #lawrusso adjacent #shootfighter #naked in new york
