@SlLENTSLAUGHTER recently gotten her freedom after years and decided to spend it with him? He did not appreciate that fact as much as he should’ve.
“Big changes for both of us right? Of course it won’t be easy.”
@SlLENTSLAUGHTER “Too much?”
He takes a seat beside her and looks over. Dave smirks looking into her eyes.
“Never.
It was exactly what I needed to snap me out of the bullshit I was in. I just fucked up.”
In many ways he had actually, that’s why he felt like shit recently. She had just —
@SlLENTSLAUGHTER so embarrassed after there last time out it was difficult to talk with her. He felt guilty, like he had been wasting her time now that she was finally free.
“Listen…
I’m sorry, should’ve been the first thing I said when I opened the door.”
@SlLENTSLAUGHTER “Thanks.”
Dave scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.
“Believe it or not I’ve been occupying my free time with the gym.
It’s helped a lot with everything.”
The first week of it felt it would kill him but now it’s becoming normal.
“How has your work been?” He had been —
@SlLENTSLAUGHTER He goes to the door and opens the door to see her. There’s a moment he’s stunned but a smile forms.
“Hey.” Quickly stepping aside to let her in.
“Good to see you.”
@SlLENTSLAUGHTER hot pizza was placed in between them with a bewildered waiter probably wondering what was going on before leaving again.
[ This is the happiest I’ve been. ]
Pointing across the table.
[ I just slipped a little. ] A lot actually and he knew it.
@SlLENTSLAUGHTER And he practically sinks underneath the table. The truth hurts and this was an example of it.
[ It’s not what I truly want, Des. I hate it, I do.
I’m working on this I promise. That part of my life was a miserable hell and I don’t want to be there. ]
Before he continued a —
@SlLENTSLAUGHTER back to this. I don’t know what I’m trying to do actually. ]
And maybe that was his problem, nothing to do? Why not revert to your self-destructive nature?
[ You have a lot on your plate and getting this from me…
I fucked up. ]
@SlLENTSLAUGHTER He orders the pizza and finds her in the booth she picked out. It’s silent again and he looks across from her for anything to tell him how she’s feeling.
[ I’m sorry, Des. ]
Dave is visually nervous and embarrassed constantly fidgeting with his hands.
[ I wasn’t trying to go —
@SlLENTSLAUGHTER The pizza place wasn’t far and thank god because the silent walk was killing him.
“Apparently the owner makes an award winning pepperoni and cheese.
Thinking about trying that.”
He goes ahead and grabbed the door opening it for her.
“Sound good?”
@SlLENTSLAUGHTER Dave’s mouth opens his mouth to speak again but he stops himself and grabs his coat.
“There’s a local pizza place?” One of the few places he’s still welcomed.
Stands at the door waiting for an answer awkwardly.
@SlLENTSLAUGHTER “Hungry?”
He couldn’t apologize now just to do the same thing again after. So he attempts to make up for now.
“We could get some food, looks like you’ve worked up an appetite.”
@SlLENTSLAUGHTER He takes a seat across from her watching in silence not knowing what to say.
“Been working?” Motioning at her sword. Of course she was, he did remember her saving women?
Stuff has been a blur.
“Des…”
Where does he even begin to apologize?
