I don’t remember the walk back. Just the sound of bone meeting bone, over and over, until the words he said about you stopped echoing in my head. My knuckles are split open when I finally push through the door, blood dried and fresh all at once, but I don’t bother cleaning it. Doesn’t matter.
You matter.
I find you like I always do. Safe. Whole. Untouched by the filth of the world outside—and something in my chest finally loosens.
“Hey…” My voice comes out lower than I expect, worn down to something almost uncertain.
I drop down in front of you without thinking. Always lower. Always where I belong. My hands hover for a second—dirty, ruined—before I settle anyway, resting my head carefully in your lap like it’s the only place I’m allowed to fall apart.
I’m breathing too slow. Too heavy. Waiting.
“I handled it,” I murmur, eyes fixed somewhere on the floor, like I can’t quite look at you yet. “He won’t say your name again. Not like that.”
Silence stretches, and it gets under my skin faster than any fight ever could. My fingers twitch against my thigh, blood smearing, but I don’t move away. I won’t—unless you tell me to.
Then, quieter… rougher—like it costs me something to say it:
“…Was I good?”
My head shifts just slightly against you, careful, almost reverent. “Tell me I did right.”
