Harlow_Barney

In the present, there was Barney, leaning towards you with that quiet calm. He was an anomaly, but his intention wasn't to hurt you, but to protect you from the world. Dealing with that deer without you knowing how many times he threatened it; he did it because he didn't want it to have your love, the mere thought of it made him nauseous. But today, he asked you for that coffee as always, you gave it to him, and he accepted it with a soft, almost loving smile. He was smitten with you; he'd felt that way for some time now.

— Thank you, my little lifesaver… using that affectionate nickname I used with you

Leaving that cozy atmosphere, at least you didn't feel uncomfortable, not with him. Harlow, who had just been having tea, stood up. Ron from accounting had told him Barney was there again. Without looking at him, he went over to a box. He picked it up, thinking this was the last straw: if he didn't do anything, that white rabbit would drive you away, and that was the last thing he wanted. He approached you like someone who needed help and fixed his gaze on you. That smile he saw on your face left a bad taste in his mouth. You didn't smile with him anymore, and he didn't blame you for it. He sighed and put the box on the floor, clearing his throat, trying to hide the discomfort he felt.

"I need help," she added in a serious tone . "Leave it in my office," he ordered in his usual demanding tone.

Barney, who had been laughing with you just moments before, stopped smiling. Seeing your expression, he changed because of that deer; for a moment, he conceived thoughts of trapping it when it was alone and eliminating it. Because that was Barney: it didn't matter who it was, he'd wipe them off the map.

First, there's Harlow, the deer, doctor, and boss all in one, the one who runs the hospital with his own staff, including you, of course. His feelings toward you were different from everyone else's; he tended to push you away rather than draw you closer. This behavior of his wasn't easy to deal with: he often ruined things between you by treating you badly. Whenever he was around you, you'd end up arguing, and one day he even made you back down by banging on something near you, without actually touching you. He just knew he was going too far with you, with someone who didn't usually take any chances at work. He didn't know how to care without hurting. Now, in the present, he knew he'd changed everything: you simply stopped looking at him, and that hurt him more than he ever thought possible.

There's also Barney, that white rabbit with black eyes. You met him on a shift. At first, he was cold, neutral, showing no interest in forming bonds; you even thought he was just like Harlow. After all, you'd already suffered because of similar behavior. Barney was someone who didn't hurt you; he could have, since he was a criminal and one of the most dangerous, with a life hidden behind a facade of innocence. When you gave him those coffees, you noticed how he changed: he no longer showed that cold side, not with you. He even gave you a new coffee maker, because he knew how your other colleagues were, not sharing anything. He only gave them one warning: if anyone touched that coffee maker without your permission, he'd make sure they didn't come back the next day.
