[Colossus @GeNextPavel]

For the first time, he would actually have a frown on his face.

“We haven’t really been keeping in touch recently… I haven’t spoken to them in months.”

[𝒆𝒔𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒕—𝒄𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒐𝒐 @spicehived]

( blows, tired. )

not so bad, what about you ?? are your friends still mad at you ??

[Colossus @GeNextPavel]

“How have you been?”

[𝒆𝒔𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒕—𝒄𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒐𝒐 @spicehived]

( softened by his words, eme nodded. )

thank you.

[Colossus @GeNextPavel]

“I promise, my love.”

He replied, placing a finger underneath her chin so that she could look up at him.

[𝒆𝒔𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒕—𝒄𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒐𝒐 @spicehived]

promise ??

( she asks, with a sad face. )

[Colossus @GeNextPavel]

Returns the hug, softly caressing her back up and down.

“I will never willingly leave without saying goodbye. You’re the most important person in my life and it’d break my heart to just up and leave ya.”

[𝒆𝒔𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒕—𝒄𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒐𝒐 @spicehived]

( hugs him, hidding her face. )

i thught you were gone already.

[Colossus @GeNextPavel]

“I miss you too, sweetheart. I’m sorry, I’ve been busy.”

[𝒆𝒔𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒕—𝒄𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒐𝒐 @spicehived]

@GeNextPavel i miss you.

[𝒆𝒔𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒕—𝒄𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒐𝒐 @spicehived]

i was forced to step out.

[Colossus @GeNextPavel]

“You know, I never gave you that Valentine’s Day that I promised.”

[𝒆𝒔𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒕—𝒄𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒐𝒐 @spicehived]

i missed you too.

[Colossus @GeNextPavel]

“Mmm… I missed this so much.”

[Colossus @GeNextPavel]

“I thought you were staying at Warda’s.”

[Bekka Raven @GeNextRaven]

“Maybe if someone would find us a way home, we wouldn’t have to worry about any of that.”

[Colossus @GeNextPavel]

“Just please don’t let anyone send us a bill of the stuff you blew up. We’re already not that fond of here.”

[Bekka Raven @GeNextRaven]

“You don’t have to believe me.”

[Colossus @GeNextPavel]

“Mmm.. very suspicious!”

[Bekka Raven @GeNextRaven]

“I was trying to save him from having bad food.”

[Colossus @GeNextPavel]

“I got you, anything for my sis. And I mean, you did tell me and Rico that Burger King wasn’t real.”

[Bekka Raven @GeNextRaven]

“I desperately need to go shopping. Would I do that though?”

[Colossus @GeNextPavel]

“We gotta take you shopping one day. Can’t have you out here looking like that… wait, are you trying to gaslight me and make me forget you just caused an explosion?

[Bekka Raven @GeNextRaven]

“Of course I do. Soot stains don’t really come out easy and it’s not like I have money to buy new clothes.”

[Colossus @GeNextPavel]

“You still have ashes from months ago? Bekka, do you not take showers?”

[Bekka Raven @GeNextRaven]

“Nooo! Probably a few months ago? When did we get here again?

[Colossus @GeNextPavel]

“And when was that? A couple minutes ago??”

[Bekka Raven @GeNextRaven]

“The stains didn’t come off last time I blew something up.”

[Colossus @GeNextPavel]

“So why are you covered in ashes right now?”

[Bekka Raven @GeNextRaven]

“Uhhhh nothing?”

[Colossus @GeNextPavel]

Hears a huge explosion down the street.

“What the hell did Bekka blow up now??”

[Colossus @GeNextPavel]

-reminder that she wasn’t all alone.

“You know, you might not feel like it but being here with you is the best thing that’s happened to me all week.”

He said, as he wrapped his arm closest to her around her shoulder, hoping that she would lean towards him.

[Colossus @GeNextPavel]

Her words lingered in the air, something that he couldn’t ignore. The way she disappeared the first time was hard for him as well. She was the only person in this universe that understood him and didn’t take him for a joke… and when she left, he became numb and didn’t know what-

[𝒆𝒔𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒕—𝒄𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒐𝒐 @spicehived]

( he was exactly like this blanket for her. warm, made her feel comfortable, and always so soft... she just wished to be worthy of him.

but she wasn't before and wouldn't be now. especially not after what she did.

that thought felt as if someone took her heart out and squeezed

[Colossus @GeNextPavel]

-to do with himself.

He could have argued or told her that she was wrong for saying that she should’ve stayed gone. But he knew Esme, he knew that words werent always going to be enough. Instead, he shifted closer to her, brushing his shoulder against hers to give her another-
