one of those nights

Her pink lips tighten into a thin line at the sight of the bruises. Fresh reminders that he isn’t invincible. The wounds might not have cracked skin, but he bleeds beneath the surface. It’s hidden, but not from her. She pauses undressing him to inspect the stains. It’s nothing new or uncommon. It’s a part of their job. Still, their recent conversation is fresh in her mind so it’s that much more concerning to her in this moment.
A hand rises from his waist and her fingertips gently trace one of them on his chest, careful not to hurt him. Yes. It is kind of his fault for recklessly rushing in, but she’s not going to chastise him for it. He knows how she feels about it. Eva shakes her head, “I’m fine,” she reassures him, leaning forward to place a gentle kiss on the bruise she had been focused on.
I wanted to hurt him. Eva did too, that’s why she punched him. She knows there is a vast difference between their respective meaning of ‘hurting him’. Matias’s is undoubtedly darker, Eva’s a simple punch, “I know,” she whispers, looking up at him. She saw the fire that burned deep in his eyes and she recognized it. It’s kind of sweet to see him so protective, no one has ever wanted to protect her. Eva is used to being the one doing the protecting, “I’ve had worse . . . everything’s fine,” How many times will she have to say "fine" before she starts to believe it? At least this time she didn’t have a knife at her throat and was thrown off a cliff. Thank Arceus Matias didn’t have to see that.
