       ❛Yeah. I can’t really argue with you on that one this time.❜  fingers absentmindedly trace a pattern on his sheets, gaze staying low with no intention of looking back up after yet another failure on the job. He’s been pushing her away for weeks out of self loathing and yet, now he can’t find it in him to even move away from her touch. ❛I have to get better at this but I get my ass handed to me every time.❜ 

      “You’re an acrobat in a suit of armor.” It was only a small condolence as she could not rebuff the getting beat up no matter how sweetly her lips ghosted over his ear or how lightly she pressed into his back searching for some sort of hint he wanted her there. A boy like the one in her arms was raised on the idea he had to perfect and when he wasn’t he was sullen, he was unbearable. Perhaps it wasn’t her place to tell him he wasn’t, perhaps she should have coddled him; with each misplaced bout of anger she thought perhaps she shouldn’t have been there at all. And yet…

 “I could help if you’d let me. I’m made for defense.”
