@JustDeputy “Ah. .—
That could be taken out of context easily.”
Barry chuckled.
He then nodded, sighing.
“Yeah. . . Yeah, I am. I am ready to do this.”
With enough encouragement and a grip on the knife, Barry cut into his arm. This isn't so bad. . . Yes, it's bad. +
@JustDeputy “Oh um. . .”
He looked around before he grabbed a rag.
“Here, use this.”
He said, giving the rag to him. “It's clean by the way. In case that's a problem.”
“A-Anything else?—
Or are you ready to do this?”
He asked.
It means a lot to Barry that he +
@JustDeputy Barry inhaled in a sharp, shaky breath then exhaled calmly and nodded.
“Okay, okay. . . I can do this.—
I can do this.”
He repeats to himself to try and calm his panic. Though, Deputy saying that he trusted him was already helping him a lot. +
@JustDeputy + way until he stumbled across an enamel bucket.
“Found one.”
He walked back to Deputy, putting the bucket down then grabbing his knife again.
Barry inhaled heavily.
Fuck, he was so nervous.
“Look,—
I'm glad you trust me with this. . . Honestly, I wouldn't+
@JustDeputy + Anywhere else could be fatal. . . I guess the arm is less risky.”
Deputy shouldn't be so self conscious. He looks so perfect. He /is/ perfect.
He looked in Deputy's eyes for the 'go ahead and fucking cut me' look. Not exactly like that but, you know.
@JustDeputy “Oh yeah, I'm fine!—
You're just. . . So perfect.”
Oh. Did he just say that out loud? Who cares. He hoped he heard. Deputy needs to know how perfect he is.
Barry looked carefully.
He was trying to figure out where to cut.
“I guess on your arm?+
@JustDeputy +nervous.
He kept telling himself he's gonna do great just DON'T hit any vitals.
Okay, he's ready.
“Where would you like me to. . . Cut you?”
@JustDeputy Barry looked at Deputy when he took off his shirt.
Breathless.
His man is so fucking perfect.
He took a deep breath while nodding. “Yeah, I guess. . .”
Barry took out his pocket knife again before approaching Deputy.
He still felt and looked fucking +
@JustDeputy +back to normal if he loses him.
He swallowed his pride nervously. 'Don't hit a vital.' He kept telling himself over and over again.
While listening to Deputy, he was trying to calm his shaking. He's hoping Deputy doesn't notice. He wants Deputy to trust him to do+
@JustDeputy + the only one who means something to him. Imagine that, a hostage was the most important person to him. He didn't even care much about Sally Reed, his ex as much as he cared about Deputy.
@JustDeputy + Oh hush, Barry. You just don't want Deputy to hurt himself. Don't be such a mom!
Heaven FORBID Deputy bleeds out. But, Barry is probably being over dramatic? Deputy is a smart guy and he can most likely handle himself.
He just didn't want to lose him since Deputy is+
