Who was it that led you on
And makes you want to hurt me so?
And makes you want to hurt me so?
Maybe I'm just... scared.
Understanding blossomed on Liam's face as he watched Maea struggle to put her feelings into words. As she lit the fire, the movements practiced and steady, Liam set the eggs on the counter and turned to lean against it, bracing his hands on the edge. When Maea spoke again, it was to share a feeling with which he was all too familiar - that fear of all that was good in one's life slipping through one's fingers, because it had happened before.
To both of them, unfortunately.
Pushing off from the counter, he crossed to the hearth, where Maea leaned against the stone. Her gaze was raw and vulnerable in a way that he hadn't expected, and Liam took her hands in his, running his thumbs over her knuckles. "I'm scared, too," he rumbled honestly. And it would take time, he knew, for both of them to trust in this - not because it was too easy, and not because it wasn't right, but because of that fear that flickered in the backs of their minds. "And I know that this is Caido, and things happen, and it's impossible to say what tomorrow brings, but... I will do anything in my power to make sure you don't lose me, Maea." He smiled crookedly. "You can keep me for as long as you want me." Always.
