You did everything but, she wanted to say.
[Break][break]
You gave him reason to doubt. You gave me reason to doubt.
[Break][break]
But, with this one, she bit her tongue. It was unfair to crucify him for feeding off instincts. This was MATIAS SILPH.
[Break][break]
"I know."
[Break][break]
Her container found its place beside his. Hunger no longer held a place in her stomach.
[Break][break]
"But you put me in an uncomfortable place. Fighting him - a ranger captain - in my apartment."

he doesn't understand.[break][break]

the obvious answer is that it isn't the first time ollie morales has done it. he looks away, anger rising as his hand curls into the couch.[break][break]

Debate had left her reeling the emotions that festered. Leaning back into the couch, she stared back at him, expression either warm nor cold.
[Break][break]

"whose asking you to share? All I'm asking is for you not to kill someone in my apartment. "
[Break][break]
Or in general, but hopefully that was implied.
[Break][break]
At the same time, Penny confined in a long, slow breath. When she inhaled, it clung onto everything negative festering inside - hatred, envy, fear, grudge. And it forced them out. One after another, until the clarity of a calm mind blessed her.
[Break][break]
At least, that was her aim. Reality can be a fickle and difficult thing when it came to expectations, though.
[Break][break]
"And I stood up for you. I would've dragged him through hell if it meant defending you from his accusations. But then you fed into them. "

there's no point arguing this, he realizes. she has the facade of a councilwoman present, one he hates talking to so much.[break][break]

his gaze drifts to the dropped cupcakes on the floor.[break][break]

"why haven't you let him go, penny?"[break][break]

he asks.[break][break]

"he's still clinging on to you as though there's a chance you two will get back together."[break][break]

and, after a pause, he continues.[break][break]

"I don't like sharing."
[Break][break]
His words squeeze salt into the open wounds across her chest. Elisabeth Fiorelli. Eva Morales. To twist such implications, yet be riddled with holes themself - it drew at her more than she'd like to admit.
[Break][break]
Again and again, while Matias' thoughts entangled themselves with the threat of ollie morales, hers returned to Elisabeth. To the promise he'd broken. Back then, when confronted by the lie he'd spun, he had revealed it was to hurt her. To force her to feel the way he did.
[Break][break]
Sometimes, that answer was enough to subside the doubt that festered beneath the surface. But sometimes, it sounded no different than another temporary antidote to cure the symptoms, but never the root cause.
[Break][break]
"I'm not a fool," her own words reminded herself.
[Break][break]
In a blink, her demeanor transformed, earning itself the innocent warmth that screamed Penny, not Livy.
[Break][break]
She leaned forward, eating at the gap between them.
[Break][break]
"Matias," softly, her voice rang out to him. A gentle touch accompanied it, grazing his thigh in reassuring comfort. "You're the only one I want to be with. "
[Break][break]
She paused, letting her words hang in the thick air between them.
[Break][break]
"I don't care about him."

the shift that happens is far from subtle. it's almost as though it flips with a click of a switch, and suddenly the person he's talking to is the one he wants but perhaps doesn't deserve.[break][break]

still, it is unnerving, she is unnerving, and he cannot help but feel slightly uncomfortable even when met with the warmth of her words.[break][break]

what the fuck is happening?[break][break]

"...okay."[break][break]

he looks away.[break][break]

"i'm sorry about earlier. i'll be better about..."[break][break]

whatever the fuck it is.[break][break]

It wasn't working,
[break][break]

For whatever reason, it wasn't working.
[break][break]

Maybe because it was MATIAS SILPH, maybe because time had worn on her practice, or maybe because this falsified warmth was the last thing she wanted to fall beneath.
[break][break]

"It's okay."
[break][break]

It wasn't.
[break][break]

"he promised me the world. promised me that i wouldn't lose him. why would you ever trust him? "

but it doesn't matter now. the damage is done as clearly seen by the splashes of red that taint his face, knuckles, and leg.[break][break]

he looks at her briefly, offering a bare smile before standing. he limps all the way to the bathroom to start cleaning up, starting with the wound on his thigh that has once again opened up.[break][break]

When he stands, she followed. Where he goes, she trailed behind. No better than a shadow slinking across the floor.
[break][break]

"Let me help."
[break][break]

Her offer is accompanied by the scrambling of the sink's bottom drawer and cupboard. It took a few seconds for her to scour for the first aid kit. When she did, she presented it with a half-hearted smile.
[break][break]

"Here, sit on the counter. I'll work on your thigh first."
[break][break]

The pool of crimson did little to squelch the queasy sensation across her stomach. Still, she pressed forward, the bite of her lip enough to surpass the discomfort.
[break][break]

She started by cleaning the splotches of red.
[break][break]

"I'm sorry too," she heaved out a soft sigh, "I shouldn't have left. I just--"
[break][break]

A breath.
[break][break]

"It was a lot."

he would protest but he figures there's no point in that either. so, with a reluctant nod, he sits on the counter and lets her help.[break][break]

"it was."[break][break]

reaching over to the sink, he grabs the hand towel and dabs it in water before bringing it up to wipe his face. shades of red transfer over slowly.[break][break]

The crusted HATRED of a betrayal so deeply laced through her veins broke free, spilling over, like oil cutting through water. Still, she maintained the soft mask of worry. Like a thick blanket, it looked to conceal what bubbled beneath the surface, strengthened by the legitimacy of its sprawled roots.
[break][break]

Slowly, she continued to dab at the open gash.
[break][break]

"Honestly? More than I wanted to."

[break][break]

There was no need to feign the hurt in her voice.

"I know you didn't mean it. Probably just wanted to hurt him."

[break][break]

Like what you did to me.

[break][break]

For a second, she paused, eyes sealing themselves close. [break][break]

"But still." Hesitant, she opened her eyes, barely strong enough to meet his, "It hurt to hear."

he did mean it. all of it. but the hurt in her voice silences him.[break][break]

the silence does not linger for long. he seeks to clarify and tell her the truth.[break][break]

"i wanted to kill him."[break][break]
