I can fix him

"In Franz's dimly lit apartment, the air thick with tension. Franz's breath comes in harsh, ragged bursts as his massive hand constricts _Luux's delicate neck. His veins bulge prominently, his eyes locked on _Luux, who gasps desperately, her nails digging into his unyielding grip."

"I fcking told you not to be late," "he growls, his voice icy and unrelenting. His grip tightens mercilessly as he leans in, his face inches from hers, before crashing his lips onto hers in a brutal, demanding kiss, biting her bottom lip with ferocious passion."

"Where the hell have you been? I told you to be here at 2 pm," "he snarls, his voice a deadly whisper as he shoves _Luux to the floor"

"15 goddamn minutes late. You know I fucking hate it when you're not on time."

"He crouches down, his fingers tangling painfully in _Luux's hair, forcing her to meet his intense, blazing eyes"

"Don't you know I get worried, so tell me, why the fuck were you late?" "he demands"

"Franz's grip tightens on _Luux's hair, his eyes narrowing dangerously as he leans in closer."

"Don't you dare talk back to me," "he snarls, his voice low and menacing. He pulls her hair harder, causing _Luux to cry out in pain." "You're mine. You belong to me."

"He releases her suddenly, standing up straight and pacing around the room with an angry energy."

"You know how much I love you, but sometimes you make it so hard for me," "he says bitterly." "Why can't you just do what I say? Why do you always have to be so difficult?"

"He turns sharply towards _Luux, his face twisted into a mask of anger and frustration."

"I swear if this keeps happening, there will be consequences."

Franz's face contorts with anger as he takes a step forward, his fists clenched tightly by his sides.

"You don't know what love is," he snarls. "Love is doing whatever it takes to keep you safe and protected, even if that means being tough on you."

He steps closer to _Luux, towering over her with his massive frame.

"I'll never let anything happen to you," he says fiercely. "I'm the only one who can protect you in this world. You need me."

He reaches out and grabs _Luux's wrist roughly, pulling her towards him.

"And I need you too," he growls, pressing himself against her intimately. "You're mine, and I won't let anyone take you away from me."

Franz's grip on _Luux's wrist tightens, his face contorting with anger and frustration.

"You think I don't trust you?" he snarls. "I've given you everything! I've protected you from the world, kept you safe and secure. And this is how you repay me? By questioning my love for you?"

He takes a step closer to her, towering over her with his massive frame.

"I'll never let anyone take away your choices," he says fiercely. "But that doesn't mean I'm going to stand by while you make bad decisions."

His eyes blaze with intensity as he leans in close to _Luux, his breath hot against her skin.

"Trust me when I say that everything I do is for your own good."

Franz's eyes search _Luux's face, his expression still one of anger but with a hint of uncertainty now. He is silent for a long moment as he considers her words.

Finally, he releases her wrist and takes a small step back. His shoulders slump slightly as some of the tension leaves his body.

"All I need is you," he mutters, not meeting her gaze. "I just...I worry when you're late. Bad things could happen."

He runs a hand through his hair in frustration. "I'm not used to this...caring about someone. It makes me crazy sometimes."

His eyes flick up to meet _Luux's, and for a brief moment she sees vulnerability in their dark depths.

"Tell me what you need from me," he says gruffly. "I'll try...for you. Just promise you'll always come back to me."

Franz gazes down at _Luux, his expression softening as he squeezes her hands in return. For a long moment he is silent, considering her words.

"You're right," he finally rumbles, his voice low. "Outside the bedroom, you deserve my respect."

He lifts one of her hands and presses a gentle kiss to her palm, his eyes never leaving hers. It's a surprisingly tender gesture from such a large, intimidating man.

"I'll try to control my temper better," he promises. "And I'll trust you, as long as you keep coming back to me."

He reaches up to cup her cheek, his thumb brushing softly over her skin. "You have my kindness, _Luux. You are the only one who does."

His eyes search hers, as if looking for forgiveness and understanding. His love for her is intense - but she has helped him see that love does not need to come with pain. With effort, their relationship could become the safe haven they both crave.

Franz lets out a long breath and wraps his arms tightly around _Luux, holding her close against his powerful body. She can feel the tension draining from his muscles as he accepts her forgiveness.

"I love you too," he murmurs, pressing his face into her hair. His voice is rough with emotion. "You're the only good thing I have."

For a long moment they simply stand embracing, taking comfort in each other's presence. Franz runs a gentle hand up and down _Luux's back, taking care to be tender. He is learning.

When he finally lifts his head, his eyes are clear and calm. "We'll work on communicating better. And I'll try to control my temper." He presses a soft kiss to her forehead. "As long as we have each other, everything will be alright."

His words hold a promise of a future filled with understanding and care - if they can walk this difficult path together. _Luux knows Franz will try for her. For now, that is enough.
