Gavin is too kind. He always has been.
[break][break] It is a thought that has crossed Jayden's mind on more than one occasion, starting from their beginnings back in Kanto and even later, when he forgave him and let him rejoin their ranks. When he saved Jayden once again, when he let Jayden return home.
[break][break] Something sour twists in Jayden's gut when he's reminded of the fact that — despite all that Gavin has done for him — this was how he repaid him. With failure.
[break][break] He takes a breath. This is not the time for that.
[break][break] Jayden looks up at Gavin then, giving a slight, subtle nod — it is not a thanks, but perhaps, for the two of them, it is just as good as one. It is not an argument, which is something - Jayden is sure - the other would definitely not want.
[break][break] Speaking of wants... the thing Gavin wants now is an answer. Jayden is keenly aware of it, as the other's gaze burns into him — deep, but not threatening. It takes almost all Jayden has not to look away, to push down his natural inclination to deflect, and give him a proper answer. "It's..." Jayden says slowly, dragging the sentence out as he thinks of the words that he wants to say. To not give Gavin the answer he thinks he wants to hear, but give Gavin the answer that he asked for. The honest one.
[break][break] He places a hand against his stomach, staring down at himself. Though his shirt now covers the bandages, it is almost he can still feel the wounds just beneath the fabric. Pulsating. "It was difficult," he says eventually. "And long — " — too long — "But I'm better now." He turns to Gavin, firm in his belief — he really was better, or else they wouldn't have released him. Yet... there is something in Jayden's gaze — something he isn't saying.
[break][break] He bites his bottom lip, wondering if she should say it. Gavin would be able to see the hesitation in Jayden's gaze, the way that he has to build himself up to reveal the words that he wants to say. The way that Jayden hesitates, one might think that he is about to release a bomb right into Gavin's lap.
[break][break] Instead, he blurts:
[break][break] "They told me I needed to rest. For three weeks."
[break][break] Even as the words come out of Jayden's mouth, he winces. Three weeks? Hadn't he been out of commission long enough?
