it had felt like his damn heart stopped beating, heartbeat plummeting with dread as he heard the tremble in her voice, the tears &. the fright. he felt insane at the thought, at the thought that something could have happened to her, at the thought that this fucking phone call could have been worse, that she could have been hurt. his heart froze under ribs, fingers tightening around the plastic of the phone, trying to control the anger he could feel rising like the tide in his blood. he offers to come before she has time to say anything, not really an offer for he would not take no as an answer, needing to see that she was well, he needs to see her, to calm that awful storm raging in. the drive had been stressful, anxiety in his veins as he wished to already be there : this has been the fastest he has driven in his life &. it has all felt too slow anyway. but his knocks are not too frantic, trying to remain calm when he guesses the state in which she must be, the tears in her voice haunting him. but the breath comes back again as the door opens, as she finally appears, redness on her cheeks &. shaky smile on her lips. blue hues cannot leave her face, even when a cat rubs against his leg, ❜ still look beautiful even though this fucking shit just happened. ❜ and his arms find her shoulders as he presses her body against his, her head fitting perfectly under his chin : she feels so fucking small against him, fragile even. ❜ am here now, ain’t gonna let no creep get close to you again, lex, ❜ his voice is a whisper, her place feeling unsafe with all the curtains drawn, nothing representing the light and warmth of the owner. it calms him, he feels softer now, less on edge though his anger is a living fire, thoughts of providing her with security assaulting him, wanting someone to protect her always. ❜ wanna come to my place for a bit ? ❜ fezco feels useless next to her pain, next to her terror.
