"i thought i did with eva."[break][break]

he had foud purpose with Eva Morales and with building a life and a future together, but, obviously, that has not worked out. and he had been so sure about it then that it's difficult to be as confident now.[break][break]

such a rare instance of a lack of confidence from the man.[break][break]

his expression softens when he turns to look at her.[break][break]

"but i think i have again."[break][break]

If you asked her two months ago, would she ever find her heart fluttering for another man, much less MATIAS SILPH, Penelope would've laughed. Maybe even call it a joke. But now, settled down beside him on the tiny cot she'd plucked from the store earlier that morning, sun beaming down his face, dancing along his bright eyes, that silly joke had manifested into reality.
[Break][break]
"I see."
[Break][break]
Foolishly, in a moment of shock, shyness leaked through the small nibble of her lip and the sprint of her gaze. It sent her running toward anything, be it dead or alive, that wasn't a pair of gentle eyes and a smile.
[Break][break]
"I'm glad. "

is that shyness that leaks through? he catches a brief glimpse of it, though decides not to tease her about it. he finds it cute. endearing. and it's what prompts him to shift closer to her.[break][break]

"i don't know how you did it, penny, i really don't, but all i can think about is you."[break][break]

he can no longer blame the influence of the border as they both know it isn't that. call it fate or otherwise, his feelings have become real.[break][break]

The more he spoke, the more his words served to unravel her. Naturally, she found herself magnetized to him, shoulder finding shoulder, hand aching hand.
[Break][break]
Let me come see you then, she wanted to say, but the idea of returning to the house he had once shared with another didn't sit right. It would never sit right.
[Break][break]
"We'll just have to make up for lost time later," she tried to laugh, but it fell short, the weight of the moment coiling tight around her neck.
[Break][break]
These moments were always hard for her.
[Break][break]
Emotions were always hard for her.
[Break][break]
Uncertainty rose, and with it, the insistence of doubt persisted.
[Break][break]
"Matias, what do you want this to be?"

he reaches for his drink to sip, buying himself time to think of a response to a question that he should have seen coming but for whatever reason doesn't.[break][break]

what does he want them to be?[break][break]

he looks away briefly, then back.[break][break]

What a half ass response. Not that she could blame him, her feelings were just as muddled. Watered down by the confusion of their spiraling situation.
[Break][break]
Finally, she looked at him.

whatever this is, while nice, does not leave him fulfilled. it leaves this gaping void of expectations and desires, one that he cannot meet without falling in.[break][break]

"no," she found herself saying, a soft shake twisting her head. "I don't think so."
[Break][break]
Every day she wanted more.
[Break][break]
It was selfish, it was wrong, but there was no clotting the bleeding of her feelings.
[Break][break]
Loneliness robbed her hesitancy, drawing her hand to his, all while silence connected their held gazes.
[Break][break]
"I'm just a bit hesitant."

"that's not what I meant."
[Break][break]
Her voice rose fast and quick, a whip cracking into the wind. With it came a short flush of her cheeks.
[Break][break]
"I think about you, too. A lot."
[Break][break]
It was why she came, despite her howling conscious and bitter doubts, and why she now sat beside him, her fingers intertwined with his.
[Break][break]
"And it's difficult."
[Break][break]
She squeezed his hand. It was hard, even now, to be honest. But could she really get any lower?
[Break][break]
"Because when you say these things, it reminds me how much I want, and how uncertain everything is."

sharing truths comes easier when he is met in kind.[break][break]

"i'm not good at relationships. i don't think i was ever meant to be in one. i love as much as i hate, my emotions can be volatile, and i'm incredibly difficult to be with."[break][break]

all of which are true.[break][break]

Bad decisions became easy when it came to him.
[Break][break]
"I don't care about any of that."
[Break][break]
She should. And normally, under any other circumstances, she would. But the moment pulled her in.
[Break][break]
"You are who you are," she murmured, a gentle voice peeking through, "just like how I am how I am. "
[Break][break]
Good at relationships, and bad with commitment, Penelope was bound to her work first and foremost. Everything else came second to her mind.
[Break][break]
But there was no need to hash out the obvious.
[Break][break]
"I accept you for it and I still want you. To be with you.
[Break][break]
The only questions were how and if it was even possible.

Fuck this man. Fuck this man for being so willing to throw it all away, despite the thoughts of others, despite the obligations that hung over them like chains swaying in the wind.
[Break][break]
"I want to," she tried, but knowing MATIAS SILPH, there was no swaying him. No convincing what had already been planned out three times over in his head."I do. But..."

The next pill was harder to swallow.
