They stared at each other for a while. The mask on his hand. His face, bare for the world to see. The moonlight lit it beautifully. His well defined features casts shadows over his skin. Hazel peeps from a well in his sockets like pots of honey, enticing any who beholds. Thick prominent brows decorate his gaze with everloving affection.

His nose complemented the arches and dips of his face, like dunes in the Sahara. His lips slowly stretched to a smile. The sweet soft freshness that bloomed can melt any feelings of sorrow. His rich golden skin was soft and dreamy. Swirls start falling on his face and framed it even more.Y/n is under a spell. Her mouth slightly agape and in awe. Yet he who casted it doesn't know.

Y/n never expected the Tank to be this attractive, she thought the suit was hot but he himself is hot. Its like his energy can't be stifled by a measly suit. He looks fearsome yet lovely.

Its John first time looking at y/n properly too. He'd only seen her through a film but now, there is nothing between them. "Wow she looks so pretty upclose" John thought. He realizes he's been smiling like an idiot. He looks away feeling embarassed and face flushed "Its kind off odd knowing that you can see my face, hope you're not freaked out by it" He stammered. John is confused, he normally doesn't act this way, he is confident and out going but with this girl? Even stringing sentences is difficult.

He is still nervous and uncomfortable being all bare and vulnerable in front of a girl he just met a couple of days ago. He tries to sit upright and stand for himself even if the air had a weird tension.

"Ah i still feel bad for letting you go through all that. I hope ur ok now...i-i can leave if ur not comfortable." John said.

"I also feel bad, i feel like i took something important from you. B-but its okay." Y/n smiled.

"Oh i don't think you had dinner yet...let me prepare some for you." John chirped trying to break the ice.
"You really don't ne-" y/n said while being cut off. "No its okay, I have enough ingriedients for two people." John persuaded. He goes to the kitchen and cooks some pasta. Y/n thought about how dreamy this man is, he can fight, he is strong, he is educated, he is kind, he likes games and he cooks. Its as if god decide John will be the perfect man. John served his dish. " i hope you enjoy it!"

"Oh my goodness this is way too much, i feel bad >~<" y/n squirmed. "Eat up y/n, you're my guest and this is also an apology for looking at you just now" John said.
"He is so sweet, and this is for an apology? How cute he is definitely boyfriend material ahhah what am i thinking" y/n thought.

They both silently ate their pastas. Y/n tries to talk to make the room less quiet."Does your sister know you go to the protests decked in gear?

"No, because if she knew she would be a target. I don't want people hurting her to get info about me." John explained. John placed his pasta on the coffee table. He looks up and says "Which brings me to you, you're the only person who knows me with the mask on and without the mask on. You have extremely important information for the cops. Im scared that they'll capture you and force you to talk....I take it back...if the cops ask you about me or anyone who would hurt you just tell them everything...you getting hurt is not worth it. I care for you y/n, I don't want to live with that guilt."

His eyes were so full of love, it was slowly welling up. "I can't- lose another person in my life, I don't want to be responsible for pain in another human being, once is enough." He lamented. He clasps his fingers and looks down on his feet.

Y/n is feeling hurt and loved in the same time. She is touched by his sentiment towards her, she didn't know that he cared that much. "Don't worry J-John, i promise i will keep us both safe." Y/n consoled. "I can fend for myself don't worry, I won't be captured and I'll be with you. You're the only person that shares the same aspirations as i do, i have no one else, no family nor friends. I know this sound selfish but I want to stay close to you, I want to be your friend."

John's heart beats faster. He realizes how much they mean to each other. Y/n protected him from rubber bullets and well loneliness...he went alone because he didn't want to risk his family and friends but ended up meeting new friend, whom he might lose.

"Friend" John sighed as he stared at his light bulbs.

He tells y/n about his best friend who was killed during a protest. John and him were trying to defend themselves from police attacks by throwing back tear gas, one of them hit the cops and they overreacted and shot them with real bullets. Johns friend stood in front of him acting as a shield. John remembers clearly how he fell on his arms, bloody. The painful dread he felt at that moment never left him. From that day on he kept on fighting for justice, but he prepares himself and goes alone, if he dies, he dies.

Y/n is in tears. She reached out her hand to touch John's and firmly grasps it. "I'm so sorry" she cried. She could only imagine the pain he has to go through and understand why he wants to push her away. Y/n notices that he is crying too, he loved her too much and y/n knows it. But she couldn't bear the idea of being alone again.

John's heartstrings were pulled. He couldn't stand seeing her cry. John reached for y/n face. Y/n is slightly startled but gave in. His fingers reached her jaw and his thumb gently caresses under her eye wiping her tears away.. Stars and butterflies twinkled in her heart as she felt his hand on her face. Y/n's cheeks are warm with a fuzzy feeling inside. Her emotions are going of the roof. She is ugly crying while having a heart attack from that touch. His hand are kind of rough yet he made sure to be as gentle as possible

"I don't want that to happen to you y/n.." John whispered under his breath.

Y/n know what she must do, she can't be with John. It will cause him too much pain. Although it will hurt, leaving the only friend you have that shares the exact same passion and aspirations as her.

"Alright now get some rest. Tomorrow moring I'll call an uber. Your thigh should be a little bit better by tomorrow" John said trying to steer away from sad feelings.. He handed y/n some tissues and used some for himself. He brought out a pillow and a blanket and gave them to y/n. "Goodnight" John says as he enters his room.

Y/n snuggled in , her eyes are droopy and weak so she fell asleep immediately. Her body all snuggled in.

John remembers he hasn't washed his spaghetti dishes. He goes out and sees y/n asleep. He took the plates and washed them as silently. After he is done he wiped off and heads to his room. But he stopped to check on y/n ,He walked over and crouched right beside her. His towering body shadows y/n's tiny frame. He stares at the unconscious y/n. Oh how pretty she is. He couldn't keep it in, he bends down and gently kisses y/n on the forehead.
"I love you"
