So Very Fine, So Happy Together

The sudden hand on his face made Peter flinch, his careful blank face cracking to reveal fear, the war waging within him finally won by one single feeling. He had no idea what to do, how to make this better. How to explain himself, his intentions in a satisfying way. Peter stumbled back as he was released, hands coming up to rub at his face and he shuffled further away, knowing it was useless but still wanting the extra distance from the god. ”I don’t know.” Was the whispered answer, Peter careful to not let his fingers muffle the words but still afraid of actually speaking them. He didn’t know why Frey would care about him, didn’t know why they’d answered in the first place. What made this time different. ”I don’t know what... what I did wrong, or how t-to...” He took a deep breath, and fought to not trip over his words. ”... how to fix it. I don’t know how to... be better.” Peter try, try your whole life to be righteous and good
