❝ you, ❞ his voice is that of an accusatory tone. it carried bitterness that rena had never earned. as well as resentment that could not be traced back to any wound that she had inflicted. she had done absolutely nothing to him. nothing but get too close, look too long, and begin to unravel something in him. every time he looked at her there was this unbearable stirring within his rib cage.
an ache so unfamiliar to him began to make its way to the surface. she made him restless and vulnerable the way anger nor fear ever had. his jaw tightened. ❝ you, ❞ he says again, his tone no less condemning however much quieter. his eyes searched hers like he hated what he was about to admit. ❝ you make me feel. ❞ though the words were heavy, it was the truth.
