His room was...empty. There was fancy navy furniture to my left, with a huge screen mounted on the wall. It was replaying matches from earlier. To my right there was a long thin table filled with snacks. But aside from the door guard, there was no one else here.
Danger was all but mobbed when he won his match. People surrounded him, chanting his name, hoisting him in the air. I was almost certain this room would be filled to the brim with people. But no. There was no one.
"Danger will be out in a second" The guard said, ripping me away from my thoughts. I looked up at him and he pointed to a door on the otherside of the room, "bathroom," he muttered.
"Sit wherever you want," he added then he walked out of the room.
I went and sat on a big comfy chair that was positioned to the left of the screen. I flinched when I watched one of the contestants, his name was Rion I think, punch a guy in the head.
I was tapping my foot furiously on the floor after a few minutes had passed. My mind immediately went to the worst place and I found myself wondering if he died in the bathroom.
Danger was an amazing fighter, there was no denying that, but this time around he took some pretty heavy blows to his ribs. I heard some people talking about how he was losing his touch this year. And I suddenly felt guilty. What if he was dying on the floor and I was out here too afraid to go check on him.
A breath caught in my throat as the door finally opened. I stood up and he narrowed his eyes in my direction before he walked over. He lowered himself down on the couch to my right. I tried to pretend like I didn't see him wince as he laid down.
He didn't say a word to me the entire time he walked over, so I sat back down, cleared my throat and held out my hand to him.
"Hi, my name is Glad." I said. Once again, he just looked at my hand before he said in a hoarse voice, "Danger."
I swallowed the lump that had suddenly risen in my throat and lowered my, already clammy, hand "Right.Well I'll make this as quick as possible." I said.
He hummed lightly to himself before nodding, he leaned his head back onto the arm of the couch and closed his eyes as I asked my first question.
"Tell me about your first fight?"
"I like it when trouble brews, I won't dare change
I like it when there's turbulence on my airplanes"
