@acourtcfmuses: “ please just … leave me alone. “ (To Peter from Lydia )
His eyes avert, and Peter draws a hand to his chest as if she's wounded him. The plea of her voice is sharp to his ears. A frown pulls at his lips, but there's something apathetic in the way he presents it. ❛ You know I can't do that. ❜ He admits, surely confirming her own fears. Something about Peter's tone sounds sincere but lacks apology. They're tied together, for his better and likely her worse.
Peter steps forward then and draws the hand at his chest to her hair. Fingers toy with the ends. His eyes settle to the way her hair looks like the leaves in autumn. Lydia's always so striking. Everything about her demands admiration, every piece of her compelling. Leave her alone?
❛ You know how important you are to me, don't you? ❜ Irreplaceable. Unparalleled. Special. There are a dozen words in the dictionary to convey his point, but his eyes demand her to listen rather than his words. ❛ And I think I'm important to you, too. Don't you agree? ❜
