Prompt: [profile] un_love_you#13 - I want to hurt you.


I’m barely listening to her. It’s difficult to focus with the sound of her quickening pulse in my ears.

She’s nervous, scared, as she should be. Yet she’s offering anyway.

I don’t know what to make of her, sometimes. But I know I don’t want to hurt her.

I don’t want to hurt her, but I need to, a desperate, overwhelming need that frightens me, too.

And a part of me – the part I despise – would like nothing more.

So I take her arm in my hands, carefully, reverently.

And I want, crazily, to apologize, but decide it can wait.
