seraiEEK! A drabble bunny bit my ankle on looking again at my last post. Here's what came of it.
After
The ice shocks my skin as he shapes the bag around my bruised wrist. Gently, with care, stroking my forearm with his other hand, not meeting my eyes yet. I lean my head against his, feel soft hair against my lips, smell sleep. It's late.
"Why?" One word, his voice rough. I can hear the pain.
"Sean, please," I beg. Not again. Not tonight.
His next breath is wet, the effort to stay calm all too clear. I ache for him, but what can I do? Say words like always, never? I promise? Lie?
"I'll get a towel," he whispers.
Have I mentioned how much I love my Muse lately?
Fic edited for clarity. Thanks, Singe! And thanks to Goldilocks for the conversation that knocked this fic loose. Love you, sweetie!
