"you~ Hey you!!" My voice is a petulant whine in the dark, my finger jabbing your spine as I crowd into your bed at Raiders HQ. You're drained, the usual fire of irritation banked to embers. Instead of throwing me out, you let out a long, weary sigh, deliver a half-hearted smack to my head, and then—your arms cinch around me, pulling me firmly against you, my face buried in the solid wall of your chest. I stiffen. This is safety. An anchor. My whole world is built on violence; gentleness feels like a cheap prop, a lie. I should shove you off. Call myself weak for the warmth seeping into my bones. But my body betrays me, tension bleeding away as I slowly melt into the embrace, craving the comfort I was never meant to have.
