You sat across from Druig, staring blankly at the table in front of you.

"Everything all right?" Druig asked, pulling you from your thoughts. You sent him a forced smile, nodding absentmindedly. Although, you should've known better considering who you were talking to.

"Okay, Y/n, if you're gonna lie I'm going to have to get the truth outta you somehow," Druig grunted, his eyes staring daggers into yours.

You knew what he was talking about, of course you knew. You and Druig had been dating from the beginning to Tenochtitlan when the Eternals split apart.

You loved Druig, that never stopped. But you couldn't, the timing wasn't right. So, you moved on. You found many others who kept you busy, kept you distracted.

But now it's 2023, and the man you're dating, well... he's something.

"I just... I don't understand, Y/n. You're an eternal, you could... you could crush this guy with one hand! What's stopping you?" Druig asked.

"He, ugh... we adopted a child and he's threatening to take her away from me if I left him. Druig, I love her so much I don't know what..." You cut yourself off as a sob wracked your body.

Druig frowned, "I can help you. Let me help you."

"It's wrong, Druig. It's immoral. Are you seriously considering using mind control?" You croaked.

"What he's doing is wrong! And i'm going to do it with or without you," he exclaimed.

You had gone home, back to your boyfriend and child, begging Druig to not get involved. But it was Druig, obviously he was going to get involved.

You were out getting groceries with your daughter when you got the notification from your security system that someone else was in your house.

Furrowing your brows, you clicked the camera and watched as Druig approached your boyfriend. Your eyes widened as you looked at your daughter who was sitting innocently in the cart.

You sighed, maybe Druig was right. Forget what's better for you, this would be better for your daughter.

You continued to shop like nothing was happening, and when you got home, your boyfriend was nowhere to be found.

Druig was sitting on the couch, a smile on his face as he watched you and your daughter enter the home.

"Dru!" your daughter exclaimed, running over to the man and embracing him in a hug. "Hey, kiddo," he cheered, his smile growing wider.

"Hey, sweetie, why don't you go to your room for a while so I can talk with Dru," you spoke softly. Your daughter nodded before running off.

You sat down next to Druig, your smile falling. "It's done," he said firmly. "Thank you, now I just have to find a way to explain this to her," you sighed, running a hand over your face.

"Let me. I could be a better father than that douche ever was. Let me," he begged.

You thought it over for a minute, "How could I say no to that," you huffed.
