PETER
"No, not... not hurt like that." Pet clenched his hands, a sting flaring up where he had been burned. "Not really like that... have you... do you..." He stuttered over false starts, wondering how to ask this question of Adam without sharing too much of his own brokenness. "Theres... things you don't wanna... think about, or talk about, right?"Pet shifted again, trying to open up and not close himself off. He was still careful to not look at Adam, but this was still an improvement. "She... Edrei, I mean, she.. made me remember... things like that. And I... I don't know." There was a crack in his voice on the last word. This was stupid. Stupid.
"I-I... I'm sorry. You... you can go. If you want."
Distance, distance keeps you safe
And I don't wanna scare you away
And I don't wanna scare you away
You're laughing cause it's funny
How you're fooling everybody but me
How you're fooling everybody but me
