[Fawn]

Frozenberry -

 

That stung worse than it should've, a kick in the stomach when he'd been unguarded for that particular assault, but he was no stranger to insults slung his way. In the grand scheme it meant nothing, what dug under his skin was the dismissive attitude when he expected something more.

Not that he'd been praying for blood and dramatics but it sure would be validating right about now. (Closure? Where had that gone?) This was unsatisfying which felt so terribly unfair when he still felt his heart in his throat, the discomfort of panic welling at his edges, and he was getting nowhere. All that pain and suffering, for what? Those daydreams about how things would've been just fine, if he cooperated, if he was a better companion...
Falcon wouldn't have hurt him if he'd been good. He would be good.

"No." Measured, even. Frozenberry had spent a long time questioning his own sanity. He was done with that. Accepting what happened to him was a distant future (that he didn't see and didn't believe in), but he could at least acknowledge it did happen in the first place. "We're just forgetting about it, then." Moving on. Like nothing had happened. Like he'd watched Falcon doing the entire time, existing in his la-dee-da world where his brutality went unnoticed.

did he know? did he. even..remember. Hot summer air burned in Frozenberry's lungs. Honey, honey, honey- he could hear it clear as day and he screwed his eyes shut at its sweetness but only saw their residence waiting where he would've told Falcon he was Good, and they were both good (not a sinner) and he didn't have to do this, and Frozen would make him like him through his willingness - he'd manipulate him into taking him as a lover instead of maiming him.

His eyes opened.

this. . act. or whatever. Heartbroken, Frozenberry wanted to hit him but could only stand there, rigid. "You're... fine," his breath hitched, tried to keep his thoughts together, keep himself together and stop slipping toward perilous territory, "Better than I am."

it hurt.
