last couple of months kinda been a disaster
How could he say that? Because he doesn’t understand. He doesn’t know what she wants but it sounds an awful lot like ‘space’ to him. And so he’d try. But it hadn’t been taken well, and Milo feels like the one left pulling back, adrift and lost at sea with land legs. “’cause I don’t understand what y’want from me.” He tells her simply, lips quivering a bit as she steps further away from him and he takes a few stunted steps toward her.
“Then y’gotta figure out if ‘m worth more t’ya than yer fear.” He says, but then she’s gone. She stumbles over her words and disappears beneath the waves and Milo drops everything and anything he had in his hands, his stunted steps growing stronger and longer, careening across the sand and into the water to where he last saw her. “Don’ you fuckin’ do this t’me ‘Relia.” He hisses to the empty air, diving into the sea to find her. And gods, he manages to spy her just barely through the stinging of his eyes from the saltwater.
But he finds her, he latches onto her, and he pulls her up with him to the surface — his arms wrapped tight around her.
