❤ mayhaps
Send ❤ for a non-specific kiss…
In the short time he’s been acquainted with this young woman, this self-deprecating girl, Mondo hasn’t known what to do with her. He wishes he did frequently, because there’s a demand to help her underneath his skin, a kneejerk snarl that she deserves better than she allows built into his bones. She isn’t the beast he is, after all, and that argument remains on his tongue even when he remembers Genocider Syo.
He always fumbles his arguments, however, and she always bites back with a smarter, sharper tongue--or so it seems. It doesn’t stop him from trying, though, and it’s impulse that leads him in this particular moment. His hand finds the top of her head, mussing her hair before it slips aside and he leans down to press his lips to the top of her head.
❝Stop tellin’ yourself shit every time you look in a mirror.❞ He needs to squeeze his eyes shut in that moment, so he can concentrate and keep his voice steady. It wouldn’t do if the volume started to rise right now, no matter how flustered his own actions were making him or how hot his face might be burning. ❝An’ stop tellin’ yourself the love story you want is somethin’ shitty an’ abusive with that fuckin’ heir.❞
