for the rest of your lives. and i can already see regret written across your face. my daughter isn’t far behind.” the woman’s eyes begin to blink, heavy and slow. “just… think about it. before you decide on something for good.”

[✧･ﾟ 𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐚 𝐠. @SELF0WNS]

the sound of asha’s soft snores filled the background of their conversation. meanwhile, her mother pushes herself to sit up slightly higher in the bed. if for nothing else than to get a better look at him with furrowed brow.

“you think you’re the one who gets to decide . . .

he let the conversation drift to that serious place. the one that always made his insides twist up, like he'd swallowed something he wasn’t supposed to. talking about his feelings never came naturally. in fact, he was fairly sure he had some sort of moral allergy to it.

still, —

a weak chuckle that’s followed by a cough into her fist follows. shaking her head, she can feel the exhaustion starting to take her over once more.

“i will support you— both of you, no matter what the outcome is between you. know that i want you both to be happy. . .

[✧･ﾟ 𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐚 𝐠. @SELF0WNS]

it would be a yelling match between the two of them, so proceeds with caution. “my advice? as a woman of my age who’s been married for nearly thirty years? love is worth all the bumps in the road. worth the arguments and the time apart— so long as you come back to each other.”

asha was nearly asleep sitting upright, head rested on her own knees. fading in and out of consciousness but allowing the two to have a conversation. her mum had heard plenty from her. besides that, it was nice to know someone’s eyes were on her that weren’t her own. . .

[۟ @aristoprats]

his smile tugged a little wider when her mum cracked the faintest hint of a grin. barely there, but enough. that same sharp wit flickering in her eyes despite the wires and machines she was tangled in. despite how much smaller she looked now compared to the woman who once —

that the warm coat helping to blanket her daughter is clearly his. there’s a pause before she speaks again, this time less so about herself.

“she… cares for you. deeply. even when she is stubborn and sharp.” she knows if asha even knew she was having this conversation, . . .

[✧･ﾟ 𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐚 𝐠. @SELF0WNS]

could just prove it by… being nice. all the time. but i know that’s not exactly who you are.

i’ll take it.

her knees into her chest.

the older woman’s eyes widen and a weakened smile breaks out when she sees him in full. an immediate recognition flashing across her face as she reaches a hand to the edge of the bed. she knows who he’s here for, even if neither of them say it. it’s good to know her . . .

[۟ @aristoprats]

he stepped into the room, heart thudding heavily beneath his ribs as his eyes landed on the hospital bed. machines beeped softly around her, each one a reminder of how serious this was. asha hadn't been exaggerating. her mum looked smaller somehow. fragile in a way that —

[✧･ﾟ 𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐚 𝐠. @SELF0WNS]

asha tells me you came a long way… did you have a good flight?”

there was no use in just standing and watching. instead, asha makes herself comfortable in one of the chairs by the bedside. larger, cushier than the ones in a regular room. seated with padding, she curled . . .

[✧･ﾟ 𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐚 𝐠. @SELF0WNS]

“i am— not a frowny face! just realistic…” she huffs as she simply reaches to hook her arm through theirs. “for your information, not everyone grew up with silver spoons in their mouths.”

rolling their eyes, playing steering her ahead by the shoulders like a sad pet. “let’s get that drink in you, frowny face.”
