Kisa

"One Cosmopolitan, please," you smiled at the bartender, trying to shout over the music.
"You're not drinking tonight," a cold, sharp voice suddenly rang out right above your ear.
You flinched and turned around. Kisa was standing almost flush against you, his face inscrutable, his gaze dark and heavy.
"And why is that?" you tried to sound confident. "We're at a club, Van. I want to have a drink, relax, and dance a bit too."
"If I said 'no,' it means 'no.' That's it," he cut you off, without even looking at you. He turned to the bartender, ignoring your indignant sigh. "Beer for me. Now."
You felt resentment boiling inside you. His overprotectiveness and this eternal jealousy toward every single person sometimes felt suffocating. You turned sharply, intending to head toward the ladies' room just to be alone for a couple of minutes and cool off.
But before you could take two steps, his fingers clamped around your forearm like a steel ring.
"Stay by my side," he commanded, and those dangerous notes that usually heralded a storm crept into his voice. "You're not going anywhere."
"Van, let go!" you tried to break free, frowning. "I'm not a dog on a leash to stand at your feet on command. I need to step away."
"I said—by my side," he repeated, his eyes flashing dangerously in the strobe lights.
At that moment, the figure of some guy stepped between you. A tall blonde in a trendy shirt, clearly tipsy and overly confident, appeared as if from nowhere. He shifted his gaze from your arm, which Van was gripping, to Kisa's face.
"Hey, you," the blonde growled, taking a step forward. "Let the girl go. Can't you see she's in pain?"
Kisa slowly, almost lazily, turned his head toward him. His lips curled into a sinister smirk, and his grip on your arm tightened even further.
"Shut your mouth," Van spat, his voice carrying a graveyard chill. "This is my girl, you idiot. Get lost while you still have your legs."
The blonde, apparently not used to such a tone, straightened up, trying to seem taller, and looked at you with feigned sympathy.
