you need to rest. you're not ready. from @dsrtrose !
as she made her way over, she had repeated his name. trying to catch his attention. ❛ 𝚒'𝚖 𝚏𝚒𝚗𝚎. ❜ he responds. it's shorter than he's ever been with anyone before, and most certainly a lie. teddy's fumbling around his own space, struggling to get together his things. hat... gun... bullets. arthur and a few of the others were heading out, and more than anything teddy wanted to be there. he had to be there. he's brought to an abrupt halt as a sharp pain shoots through his side. he's almost certain he's opened his wound again. he's stood there panting, leaning over a barrel for support. the frustration is enough to bring tears to his eyes. eliza brings herself closer and he's forced to meet her gaze. ( 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵. 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 ). it's simultaneously kind and cruel.
❛ 𝚢𝚘𝚞- ❜ he hesitates. breathing deep in attempts to calm himself down, but what ever strength he's had helping him keep up his composure for so long is gone and he's left unraveling. ❛ 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚍𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚞𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍..! 𝚒𝚏 𝚒𝚝'𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚖? 𝚎𝚒𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚖, 𝚒 𝚠𝚊𝚗𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎. 𝚒 𝚗𝚎𝚎𝚍 𝚝𝚘-... 𝚍𝚊𝚖𝚗 𝚒𝚝! ❜ he curses through gritted teeth and lowers himself to the ground slowly. @dsrtrose / concern for others prompts
