“take it as you will. besides, i’ve ALWAYS been soft. you just haven’t seen it.” laurel let a small smile grace her lips as she looked at the other. sure, she could be a hard ass at tomes. sometimes she didn’t give people slack. but, when someone weaseled their way in to a special part of her heart—-be it acquaintances, friends, loves, family; those walls fell down and her hardass ways melted too. “yes, for you.” her voice was firm, yet filled with nostalgia as she looked at the gloves before her eyes wandered back up. “think whatever you want. but to me, you DESERVE them. you’ve worked the hardest, and in many ways i see who i used to be in your eyes.” though she couldn’t help the chuckle that escaped her lips. “though fair warning, i got my ass kicked A LOT with those on, so you’re over due.” of course she was joking in a way; she flashed back to when she was struggling to become the black canary. but it was something she could look back on fondly now. and she hoped one day, he could look back on this all fondly as well. “dream on,” laurel retorted back to him as she teased him. “i’m going soft on you, but not THAT soft.”
❛ WERE YOUR kicks and punches supposed to have given it away? my bad, clearly missed the softness in those signs. ❜ the male mused as the sarcasm clearly flew through his sentence, a slight ( confident ) smirk curling at the corners of his lips. however his smirk faded as the words were spilled from her lips, he scoffed right away ---- she might have thought she knew him but she didn’t ---- no one did, not even his own family. he could trick, manipulate and blind anyone he wanted with his charm, but if there was someone who knew who he truly was behind the facade, that was himself. she seemed like a good woman, a decent person from what he had learned during all their training sessions. so was it right for someone like him to take advantage of that? no. he had hurt enough people, there was no need to hurt her too ---- to blind her. ❛ look ---- no offense, or anything ---- ❜ he paused, a shake of his head as his clear ( ice cold ) eyes locked on hers as he took the gloves and placed them back on her hands, hands on hers, as he did, his eyes drifting from their hands slightly touching then up to her face. he paused longer than he wanted to, for a slight second actually considering her offer , actually considering he might be worth something ---- but reality quickly knocked in, and brought him back to earth. ❛ but you don’t know me. not the way you think you do. ❜ his hands brushing slightly down to her arm, a sigh leaving his lips as he let go. ❛ so give them to someone that REALLY deserves it, because that’s not me. i’m not a good person, i’m just doing this for selfish reasons. i want to hurt people, i want to ---- hurt people that.. ❜ a swallowed the lump formed on his throat for a second, biting his lip almost to hold back his words, but he decided it was only fair to justify himself, not seem like a total asshole. ❛ hurt me. and i’m sure someone like you ---- doesn’t want to be part of that. ❜
