Work Text:
Crosshair stood away from you, just out of arm's reach. The distance between you two made your heart ache. He was one to always stick by your side.
This was different. Everything was different. He was different. He wasn’t the same person he was when you fell in love with him.
“You have something to say?” he hissed out.
It’s now or never, you thought.
Nodding, you took a step forward, “I do.”
Shutting your eyes and letting out a sigh, you balled your fists before opening your eyes again, “I left you behind, time and time again. And each time, it hurt more than the last.”
Tears threatened to slip out, “I can’t do that again. I’m sorry Crosshair, but I’m not leaving you behind.”
His eyes widened, “Don’t-!”
You waved your hand and he fell limp into your arms. You clutched him into your chest and pressed your forehead against his.
“I hope you can forgive me.”
