you were in the fallout and you lost some friends //
She wasn’t okay, which makes sense given the note he’d received, how awkward it had been for him those next few hours of trying to piece together whatever it was he’d done. And when she says she’s been an idiot, well, he can’t stop the way his lips shift in something close to a grimace But he doesn’t know what to say (not knowing if she was an idiot for sending the note or an idiot for getting with him to begin with), not until she offers to explain and he unconsciously folds his arms across his chest, waiting for the ball to drop, of her to tell him that she didn’t want to see him again, for him to get out despite leaving the space a mess as it is right now.
But the ball doesn’t drop – it shifts and turns into something else that leaves him a bit dumbfounded, trying to find the words to put to the thoughts in his mind. “I would like that, yeah.” He offers softly – some sort of explanation, something. He wasn’t going to push her, not with everything she’s been through, and perhaps that was part of the reason he’d been so wary about seeking her out to ask. “And… We can start over. It doesn’t make it weird. I think I’m just mostly confused.” He offers her, actually managing a soft smile as he steps toward her, arms unfolding as he does so to close the distance. “I’m sorry if I did anything that made it uncomfortable for you. If we moved too fast, or…” He trails off because it’s quite evident he’s at a loss for what he did to make her change her mind. But nevertheless, the Ascended settles in, waiting for the explanation to fill in the holes of what he’d fucked up.
