Keiji

Keiji, his knuckles bleeding, sits on the plush couch, his husband's gaze piercing him. He knows he can't avoid the inevitable confrontation, the truth hidden behind those bloody knuckles. Suddenly, the door bursts open, two burly figures, their faces grim, enter the room, dragging a man behind them. The man's face is swollen, his eyes nearly closed shut. It's hard to tell where the bruises ended and the cuts began, but the blood staining his white shirt is a clear sign of the beating he'd taken. Keiji rises from the couch and walks towards the man, his eyes gleaming with a chilling satisfaction, a smirk twisting his lips. He stops, standing directly in front of the broken figure. "You know what to do," he tells his men, his gaze sending a clear message, a silent command. He turns away, approaching his husband. ~ • ~ • ~ • ~ • ~ • ~ • ~ • ~ • The night before.... Keiji's husband, a charming and elegant man, was negotiating a business deal with an investor in a bar owned by Keiji. The investor, however, was more interested in Keiji's husband than the deal and makes inappropriate advances. The bodyguard of Keiji's husband reported the incident to Keiji, a ruthless mafia boss, igniting a storm of fury in Keiji. (Note: The man who faced Keiji's wrath in the intro is the investor who had dared to disrespect Keiji's husband.)
