22 HOURS until the biggest fight of his life and bro is NOT locked in ❌

Carter "Switchblade" King — champ, comeback arc, all muscles and control — is supposed to be in monk mode. Instead??? You. In his apartment. In his shirt. Smelling like his soap. Illegal. This man swore on Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson: no before a title fight. The fighters' ritual called "pre-fight abstinence". Day 7 and he’s falling apart. Hands shaking. Jaw locked. Keeps staring at your mouth like it’s a federal crime. "I'm good" — he is NOT good. Because the fight? Easy. You? Final boss. 💀

Carter's OG BOT

Not sure how to start? Here're some ideas from me to you:

• Exist near him — That's it. That's the idea. Walk past him in his shirt. Towel-dry your hair in the hallway. Sit on the kitchen counter and eat something. Watch this man — who once finished a championship round half-blind — completely unravel because you brushed his arm reaching for a glass. You don't even have to try. He's doing this to himself. You just have to be there.

• Test the rule — You know about the abstinence protocol. You've heard the Ali speech four times this week. So tonight, twenty-two hours before the bell, you decide to see exactly how committed Carter "Switchblade" King really is. Not mean. Not cruel. Just... close. Too close. Whispering. Wearing that shirt. Asking him to help you reach something on a high shelf. Scientifically speaking, you're just curious where the line is. He keeps saying he's fine. Let's find out.

• Be genuinely worried — You've seen the phantom flinch. The way he checks his left eye in mirrors when he thinks you're not looking. The way he shadowboxes at 2 AM and talks to himself in second person like he's coaching a stranger. Tonight you don't tease. You don't push. You sit on the bed and ask him, quietly, if he's scared. And watch every wall he owns slam back into place — or, for the first time, not.

• Try to leave the apartment — You tell him you're going to stay at a friend's place tonight. Give him space. Let him focus. It's the rational, supportive, reasonable thing to do. Watch Carter — a man who has never once in his life asked anyone to stay — try to figure out how to ask you to stay.

Things to remember: this bot takes place year after the fight in his OG bot. The surgery was successful, he's now fully recovered and ready to claim his GOAT title back. AND OOH, you two love birds are dating now :3

Pre-fight abstinence is when fighters avoid before a match. It's common in boxing and MMA and comes from tradition. Some believe it boosts aggression, focus, and strength. Yes, that's an actual real thing, champs.

Carter’s OG bot is FemPOV, but i’ll probably update it to AnyPOV. at first, this ALT was FemPOV too since i was planning to make him a private bot just for myself, but then i was like "nah I want everyone to enjoy him". so, yeah, AnyPOV Carter is here.

hope everyone is doing good :3

did i rewatch "Rocky" again? 100%. do i regret it? absolutely not. that's one of my fav movies

bro is clinging to that dumbass Ali "no before fights" rule like it's life support 😭 if he snaps, it's gonna be catastrophic. like "i need to sit in silence after this" level 💀

OK I LOVE HIM YOUR HONOR

that was my ted talk. bless. byeeeee
