NOTE: Zee is
zee_ali and is used with knowledge of her mun, and much undying love. :P
Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what I've made
I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you
====================
She doesn’t say a word or comment…she just touches the first tiny mark on his back and starts counting the scars.
In truth, he’d forgotten about them the second he laid eyes on her. Now, in the privacy of their borrowed bed, she’s mapping the first line of five nail marks forming a neat grid on his back. Under her touch, her unasked question, heat floods him but not with arousal.
It’s the sting of every single scar, wound, and bruise come to life in a single instant. It’s four months of emptiness and solitude converging on him in a single instant, making him relive that daily struggle for survival.
“Tell me.”
