Smother me with pillows and kindness, in which I have never seen
Please slit my perfect throat with the knife that I gave you
Sam nodded, wanting to get away from the topic of El as quickly as possible, having no idea how to comfort Zeph about it or if he even did need comforting. How did you know if someone was still upset about their dead wife or not? Was that the kind of thing you got over?
While he was glad of the chance to change subjects, he wasn't thrilled with the question he was asked. Thoughts of his father and what the older Wordsworth would think of his choice rang in his head making it all the worse and he sighed, gloved hand going to idly pull at the skin on the back of the other. He couldn't feel the pain, but the small acts of self-punishment still made something about it all feel just a little more just.
"No, just m...me and my sis-sister and my p..p-parents." Sam explained, not wanting to get into the differences between Evie and Amalia for the moment. He closed his eyes before answering the second question, a sigh leaving him. "My fa-ff-father. Was very cruel. He..um...treated me poorly, b-beat me...and um..th..things like that. Until I was sixteen." He opened one eye, waited to see Zeph's reaction, suddenly worried the other man might think him even more pathetic.

When I told you "I love you" in my home
Just stab me in the back
