❛❛ why are you making this more difficult? ❜❜ the question itself sounds pained, which matches how henry is feeling in this very moment. he can see him, just out of the corner of his eye, and every fiber of his being is screaming at him to just go to him. but henry is stubborn to a fault ( as he's been told countless times ) and so he remains rooted to where he stands. his fingers curl, blunt nails biting into his skin as he fights to urge to reach out for alex - an urge that pains him even now. ❛❛ there's nothing more to say, nothing more to do - we both knew that this would end eventually, yes? so why must you push and dig your heels in and be so utterly stubborn? ❜❜
