You scare me, too.
Great. So you're both scared shitless. At least you're not alone.
You still don't look at her again, because you're pretty sure doing that will blind you, or make you say something else stupid, or both. But you close your eyes as she places fingers in your hair,swaying leaning into the touch. You know that tomorrow is going to be full of regrets and stomach aches, so you cling to right now, to tonight, when you have the balls to tell her she scares you and she hasn't run away.
A low, hollow chuckle leaves your throat. "Yeah. Yeah, it did." Almost as if it was intentional, like some higher power thought you'd be great to fuck with. Something something playthings of cruel gods who write our stories to mess us up instead of letting us have nice things. But let's back away from that fourth wall.
"How d'ya do it, Vai? Keep livin' without 'em?" Of course she has Felix, and a daughter somewhere, and a husband somewhere else. But the loss- that doesn't change. Doesn't stop.
