I've been beat up my whole life
I've been shot down, kicked out twice
”Can’t?” Nate croaks, swallowing hard before he replaces the hand over his eyes with the crook of Sunjata’s neck. It shouldn’t affect him so much, should hurt so badly to be told he’s broken, not when he already knows it, but having it pointed out, having all his defences and lies torn down so easily is something he’d never expected.
And at the end of it all, to be told he can’t be fixed, that there’s no hope for him? It does nothing but make the call of darkness, the shadows and blood Amalia so luridly describes sound more and more appealing, a warm embrace compared to this.
But not compared to Sunjata. Nate turns into his lover more firmly, letting the attuned defend him. Trusting him to be strong, when all Nate feels is shattered. Convictions roll over him, offering comfort, security on their way to barb at the Demi-god. Both his arms snake around his fiancé, clinging to him like a buoy in a dark sea. ”Sunny.” The name is whispered against his lovers skin, leading the way for Nate’s lips, a brief kiss, before he turns, still shrouded, to glare at Amalia, eye swimming in an iridescent sheen.
