"Hey, no, that's not -" she said, her frown deepening as Zavien diverted his gaze from hers. "Zav, that's not what I meant." Gods, maybe she was just cursed to never be able to explain herself properly. Maybe her relationships were just doomed to poor communication, all because she couldn't manage to have a simple conversation without it going off the rails.
But no. Not this time. Not this relationship. "Zavien," she said firmly, reaching up to take his face in her hands, trying to get him to look back at her. "Let me be clear: I would, without a shadow of a doubt, come stay with you for as long as you'd have me. When I'm not with you, all I can think about is being right back here in your arms." She searched his face, hoping to find some understanding dawning. "I'm not hesitant because I don't want to be here. I do, all the time."
She paused, thumbs stroking the stubble on his cheeks. Maybe this was a conversation that was overdue. "I'm hesitant because I... don't have the best track record with relationships. I always manage to do something wrong, or make a mistake, or -" She shook her head, clearing away the self-deprecation. "If I moved into your place, I'm scared that I would just do something that chased you off. What if you get sick of me?"
It was a fear that spoke of a certain vulnerability, a fear that had her own eyes dropping from his, as though afraid of what she might see there. "I love you, more than I can even describe. I can't - I don't want to lose you." Not for any reason, but certainly not because they were rushing into something like her moving in. Not when they had all the time in the world to make those decisions.
