A SMALL groan left the brunette’s lips as they rubbed their hands over their face. rory already had the guilt settling when jason showed up. it wasn’t their intention to hurt him, or anger him by their actions. it was a careless and spontaneous choice, and they knew that. and they deserved whatever reaction they got from the male. ❝ i just want to start out by saying i’m so sorry. i didn’t want to hurt you, or make you mad for disappearing. i wanted to get away from all of this not you. everything else. like, i wanted to focus on myself and better myself with no powers being involved. i wanted to feel normal for once i don’t know. so, i just left. it was random and there was no preparation whatsoever… that’s really the only explanation i have. ❞
Jason listened to Rory’s explanation, remaining silent all the way through their speech and for some time afterwards. He thought long and hard about what they were saying. In some respects, he could understand wanting to leave and wanting to get away from the craziness of the life as someone with powers, but at the same time, he couldn’t help but resent that just a little bit. “You don’t think I want to feel normal Rory?” He said finally, a little bit of anger in his tone. “You know that’s what I want. I want it more than anything. And being with you, spending time with you, talking to you, that was the closest I’ve gotten to feeling normal in a long time. That means something to me. I thought it meant something to you too, but when you left, all I could do is wonder how you could leave me behind so easily if that was the case” He paused to exhale a deep breath here, not wanting to get anymore worked up than he already had, because he knew that would be something he would quickly regret. There was a moment where his words hung in the air before he sighed releasing most of the tension in his body. “Look, I get it alright? I can understand why you felt like you needed to just get away for awhile. And I’m not going to hold it against you. You came back. You’re here now, and we can put this behind us, but..tell me this: are you going to disappear like that again? Because...because if you are, if there’s even a chance that you are, then I need to know now. I need to be prepared.”
