Warnings- NSFW and sorry not sorry Sharon.
________________________
I slowly wake up as the bird's chirps in the trees are now quietening as the grass underneath us no longer held the warmth it once did. Loki's long frame holds me close to him as his face is buried in my neck breathing softly in sleep as his hold on my waist is gripped hard reminding me of Pepper's words of warnings after completing the bonding.
It has been hard as it is to stay away from Peter after completing the bond and he is nowhere as possessive as Loki is.
"You're thinking too loud" his tired voice grumbles making me jump and then squeal as he gently bites into my throat before kissing over the marks he left earlier hitting a spot that causes my breath to hitch.
"Kitten" he groans his snake-like tongue licking around the marks as I look up.
The sun in the sky was almost gone but the sky kept a golden hue as the night sky was inclosing.
We both knew we couldn't hide in Loki's secret place in the forest forever but I wanted to cling to the moment as much as possible.
"As much as I love this we must go back soon" Loki sighs making me sulk his body now leaning over mine to meet my eyes. His cold skin rests against my own his eyes searching all of me in marvel as my fingers reach up to run through his black hair "I can't face them" I whisper afraid not wanting to see them.
"I won't let them near you" he promises pressing his lips against mine softly and I can't help but grip his hair which causes him to moan as he climbs on top of me before tugging at my bottom lip with his teeth.
"Loki" I whimper in need pulling him against me seeing his eyes darken as he looks me over hungrily "Pet" he warns as I wrap my legs around his waist "Please" I beg feeling his need for me through our bond as he felt mine. My breath hitching at his now hardening member pressing up against me.
"How can I deny when you ask so prettily?"
I gasp when the head of him presses into me expecting to feel sore after earlier but instead, the pain escapes as I look up to see Loki's body glow green him using his magic to heal me as it wraps around us like a silent shield.
"Safe word?" he asks in a growl moving in slowly looking like he was struggling to hold back making my eye roll as the tip of him hits something deep inside me making me squirm so he stops "Pet" he says in warning making me grip his hair tighter in need.
"Angel" I mewl hating how easily he can play me and he grins "that you are" he breathes against my lips biting my bottom lip again as he pulls out before going back in.
"Still so tight kitten even as I break you" he moans his cold mouth finding my nipple as he shifts his hips making my mouth open in a silent o as he hits my g spot deeply.
"Who does this body belong to?" he asks his dark eyes lifting to meet mine as I moan not replying which causes him to growl speeding up "yours! it's yours!"
"That's right" he purrs moving his hips back before hitting harder as his teeth latch onto my throat making my head spin back as my back arches off the floor my breasts hitting against his chest feeling close.
"Loki?" I ask muddled when he suddenly stops making my eyes widen as I sit up as he pulls out "Let's try it this way" he says suddenly flipping me before I had a second to react.
"Safe word?" he asks lifting my hips so I was laid on my front putting my arms in front of me "Angel!" I squeal as enters his cock feeling bigger in this position making my walls ache despite his power healing me at the same time.
His large member only reaches halfway in when I feel it hit my cervix and moan making him lean forward over me to reach underneath "I can feel my cock in your stomach" he growls pressing his hand down where the bulge comes out of my stomach causing me to flutter around him.
"So you like being filled with my cock?" he asks making me nod as he grips my ass harshly causing me to tighten around him as I try to squeeze my thighs in need wanting him to move.
"You need to get better at answering verbally pet before you bond with Strange or Steve they have a thing about manners" he warns "or have I already got you stupid on my cock kitten? You like when I talk down to you like this?" he asks and I nod trying to move back on him but he slaps my ass in warning making me whine.
"I'm in charge here pet but that's okay I'm going to give you what you need" he warns gripping my hips "my good kitten"
I almost choke on saliva as he lifts his hips purposely hitting hard causing me to squeal as I barely keep myself up against his harsh thrusts "oh the things ill do to you if you agree to the contract" he moans his hand going under me to my throat.
He suddenly lifts me his hand resting around my throat as I almost fall forward no longer able to keep myself up under his harsh hits.
Pulling me back he curves my back drawing me against him picking up his thrusts making me cry in pleasure as he hit places I didn't know possible making the familiar feeling come back as I feel my coil tightening I grip his wrist feeling myself bounce against him.
"Loki I'm close!" I beg as he bites into my shoulder but not enough to hurt as his other hand travels down my body torturously as he reaches my clit going in slow circles and I begin to blubber under him knowing he was going slow on purpose.
"F-faster".
"First beg" he whispers and I mewl needing to feel the release.
"Please Loki! Please let me cum!" I plead as he picks up his pace "I'm going to fill you up so you can feel me for days" he promises as I clench around him at the thought.
"Cum for me kitten" he says and I let go my coil snapping as he carries on fucking me through it "your tightening against me so well I think your pussy doesn't ever want to let me go" he swears as he slows down his hard member twitching inside before I feel his cum shot up inside me making me cry out in pleasure.
"Good girl" he purrs "you are such a good girl for me my good kitten" he praises as I come down my body still twitching against him as I feel him still deep.
Breathing heavily against him he pulls me down to lay back on the grass staying inside me as I lay trying to catch my breath.
Sex with Peter and Loki felt so much more different than any other time every touch makes me feel so much more alive, every-
"Be careful you're getting me hard again" Loki whispers kissing the back of my head as I feel him twitch inside me making me blush as I remember he now hears everything.
I should have heeded Peter's warnings of Loki being in my mind better.
We lay like this a little longer Loki hands running around my body as I felt through the bond him holding himself back as he whispers sweet things in my ears but the moment ended when the night sky finally came up ahead.
"What is it?" I ask hearing Loki sigh as he pulls back his member slipping out as I redden at the amount that falls out of me but he just grins pecking my lips "wish I had time to clean you up but mother keeps trying to get into my mind our mates are apparently causing a scene wanting to see you" he says making me tense up.
"I can't.."
"I know pet but I won't let them near you"
"What if Tony rejects me now he is here?" I ask insecurely the fading on his mark reminding me of the pain of his rejection "he is more scared of you rejecting him pet and deservingly so you have nothing to apologize for" he says pressing a kiss to my lips before sitting up and I follow.
"Loki I can't see him... I can't see any of them not yet I'm not ready" I say my heart hurting "I thought id have more time I needed more time"
"I will kill Thor" he growls "I don't know what the idiot oaf was thinking by bringing them here but ill kill him" he says suddenly lifting me to his lap making me yelp in surprise.
"Do you trust me?" he asks lifting my chin to meet his dark green gaze "yes" I say without hesitation and he smiles "then know I am on your side pet always"
"Promise?" I ask lowly fidgeting my fingers.
"Promise" he says leaning in and I meet him halfway placing my lips against his for a soft kiss before he lifts my hands kissing my knuckles.
"Are you ready to go back now?" he asks and I hesitantly nod.
It will be okay.
Loki won't let them near me.
"First I need clothes though" I joke trying to lighten the mood since ripped part of my dress earlier "well I think id rather keep you as you are-"
"Loki!" I say and he smirks "can't blame me for trying" he says using his magic to magic clothes on us.
I look in awe at his black and leather outfit which makes me redden at how good it looks- "not as good as you look" he purrs and then I look down.
I now had a long flowing green dress with long sleeves and a black corset on top making my bottom lip drop "we look like we are matching" I say in awe and he grins leaning in to bite on my bottom lip resting his hand on my thigh "It's so I can let the castle know your mine"
I blush at his attention as he moves his hands around my curves making me blush when I notice something.
"Wait Loki I need underwear" I say realizing he hadn't given me any like he has done the previous times he used his magic to dress me but his smirk tells me he didn't forget.
"I think its more fun like this"
________________
After getting up Loki helped me clean up using the lake water and some wipes Loki uses his magic to help but I still felt him dripping down me making me blush as he grins every time I shift feeling it dripping down my thigh trying my best to hide it.
I really need to use the restroom I think as Loki walked us out of the woods and through the gardens.
He transported us to the entrance of the woods near where we stood yesterday letting us walk through the grounds. People around looked on in awe and whispers everyone bowing or smiling hellos as Loki held me to him tightly reminding me of his display in front of people when he kissed me last night.
"Prince Loki your father-" a guard says as soon as we walk into the castle "will have to wait" Loki cuts him off and I give the guard an apologetic look as Loki walks us away.
"Wait we are going to Thor's quarters?" I ask in concern "the idiot oaf will assume we reside in my room pet and I believe most of the others will be there as well- but maybe not" he scowls as I freeze seeing them.
Stephen, Bruce, and Tony all stood out in the hall their eyes widening in shock when seeing us "Angel..." Tony says something reaching out in his tone as I freeze fear rising in my chest as he looks me over before taking a step towards me our mark instantly begins to burn reminding me of the last time I saw him.
"Please-" he begs as I try to step back but Loki's hand keeps me still as he glares towards him.
"Leave" Loki warns but Tony glares "no not till I get to speak to her-"
"To bad" Loki sneers moving me behind him protectively.
"Loki-" Strange tries but Loki reacts first green magic shoots towards them creating a shield up between us and them hiding them from view.
"Kitten" Loki says sadly seeing my panicked expression "come" he says but I couldn't move my eyes resting where Tony once stood as I wondered what would have happened if he reached me.
'That girl means nothing to me!'
I flinch as suddenly one of Loki arms picks me up easily holding me to him in bridal style as he walks us to Thor's room opening the door I see Peter stand off the bed "Fae!" he says running to me as Loki hands me over to him shutting the door and locking it.
"I am sorry pet" Loki says but I shake my head it wasn't his fault.
"Are you okay?" Peter worries seeing me jolt but I shake my head my chest starting to burn as breathing feels hard as I could barely grasp onto air "Tony is here-"
"I know" he repeats in worry sitting us on the bed as I grip onto him Loki comes over sitting down and rubbing his hands up and down my back trying to calm me down.
"What am I going to do?" I whisper "Tony's mark it's burning I can't see him yet- I feel it getting worse what if it disappears?"
"Fae we will figure it out you need to breathe if not it will make it worse" he whispers when Loki suddenly stands.
"Get out" Loki snarls as a golden ring opens in the middle of the room "I'm here alone" Stephen voices as Peter puts me down and I turn to face him his beard shorter than the one in the flashback which has my stomach twisting finally seeing him after that.
How was he there that night?
"I told you to get out she doesn't wish to see anyone yet-" Loki angrily growls when a golden ring suddenly engulfs him making him disappear "Loki!" I say worriedly as Peter wraps his arms around holding me back.
"Don't worry he will be back soon as we are done speaking. I can't handle him when he growls like a wolf" Stephen says dusting his shoulder before looking me over in concern.
"I apologize I was away and didn't know what was happening-"
"You were there that night" I say cutting him off and he frowns looking lost "huh?"
"The night Bucky killed my parents you were there" I say and he frowns looking me over for a few seconds before speaking.
"You're being serious?" he questions looking almost flabbergasted by my claims "what are you speaking of? I had not know about that night until I came back there has been much activity in other universes-" he mumbles off.
"Don't lie I saw in Cedric's memories it was you" I whisper loud enough to hear "you knew me before yet you lied like Bucky" I add not able to hide the hurt in my tone "why pretend not to know me?"
His mouth falls at that as he looks at Peter and then back to me as Peter hugs me tighter feeling my emotions "I-" he tries but comes out with nothing.
"Please don't lie now" I plead to him "I can't handle it"
"Fae I promise on all mystical entities I have not met you before that day at the tower I didn't even sense your magic in the city beforehand despite having the power to do so your magic was somehow hidden as well as your brothers. I literally had no idea who you were" he says almost pleadingly sounding so convincing which makes me sigh.
"I can't do this right now" I continue "please leave" I say not being able to argue right now watching as his eyes broaden in hurt making something crushs inside me seeing him like this but I am tired.
To tired.
"Fae-" Peter whispers as I feel the back of my eyes begins to burn.
"Please- I-" Strange says stopping as I couldn't hold the tears back " I know I haven't been as fourth coming as I could have been but now I don't want any more secrets as I think it will destroy us..." I whisper feeling myself slump at the idea.
How did it come to this?
Why did I fall for them? It wasn't supposed to be this way but now the idea of everyone breaking up has my heart twisting in ways I haven't ever felt before.
"Please when you are ready to tell me the truth then I am ready to hear it but until then I want to be left alone"
Strange looks lost looking past me to back to Peter but Peter says nothing knowing the truth in my words so Stephen reluctantly nods.
"I promise I have nothing to hide but I do not wish to upset you so I will leave you alone for now" he says opening a golden ring but stopping to turn back as suddenly his cloak leaves his body flying towards me and wrapping around me.
His eyes enlarge once again as he looks back at his cloak which surprises all of us "Cloak of Levitation not right now" Stephen says "come we must go"
The cloak around me suddenly lifts a little shaking itself as if saying no before clinging back at me in a hug.
Stephen just watches for a few seconds in thought before nodding and going back through the golden circle he came in through which instantly opens another.
"I have been falling for 5 minutes!" Loki yells falling straight onto his front which I would normally laugh at but my mind goes back to Stephen's face.
"He denied it" I whisper to Loki "he denied being there"

The Others P.O.V
"Brother I want to see if Lady Fae is okay!" Thor bangs against the door when suddenly a golden circle opens up in the castle hall making maids and guards gasp as Thor nods for them to go on wanting privacy.
"Stephen" Nat greets as he steps through looking at his mates who stood outside Loki's doors.
"They are not there" he says making Thor turn back as Steve, Wanda, Pietro, Nat, Clint, and Sam all looked confused.
"Then where are they? I wanna see princessa" Pietro whines ready to run as Strange looks around "first where are the others?"
"Bucky is outside the castle he refuses to come inside until she wants him inside" Steve sighs "It took everything to even get him to come here in the first place"
"And Pepper and Morgan are having tea with Frigga" Nat says "weren't you with Tony and Bruce?"
"I was but we saw Loki and Fae entering the castle to Thor's quarters but before we could reach them Loki put up a shield so no one could enter. Fae doesn't want to see anyone"
"Why do they reside in my room?" Thor asks in surprise knowing his brother's shield would easily be more powerful in his own quarters after years of perfecting the best one.
Loki even once put up such a powerful shield that even their mother couldn't enter through. It was after their father grounded Loki at the age of 10 from having any more daggers after he stabbed Thor in the kidney for stealing his fruit.
'Ah good times' Thor thinks noticing it has been a few weeks since Loki tempted to take his life.
"I am not sure" Strange finally answers as he was also wondering.
"She won't even see us?" Wanda asks hopefully "me, Pepper, Sam, Bruce, Thor, Pietro and Clint have nothing to do with what happened and I wanna see if she is okay" she says not missing the way Steve and Nat glance at each other sadly.
"All I can do is send a message to Loki although I may have upset him so he won't be in the best of moods and she was not best thrilled to have seen me" he says thinking back to what she said.
"Now where outside is Bucky? I need to speak with him about something"
__________________________________
With Tony and Bruce.
"I told you to stay away from her" Bruce sighs as Tony slumps against the stone walls feeling the burn on his thigh as he feels her mark fading from his skin "how was I supposed to know they would come near Thor's quarters? When I saw her I just thought I could explain- I wanted to apologize- I just needed to be near her but she doesn't want me here I shouldn't have came.. Bruce she hates me"
"Maybe but I think she is more afraid of you Tones you messed up" Bruce says feeling only a little pitty towards Tony after the stunt he pulled on live TV.
"What am I going to do Brucie bear? How can I apologize and explain everything if I can't even get close to her? Especially if everytime the mark fades a little more"
"Just give her time and stay away until she is ready" Bruce says "when she is she will come to you when" Bruce says cracking his neck. Hulk had not forgiven the team for stopping him from smashing the college down but he was grateful they did before he did too much damage the poor compound couldn't say the same now in rubble but luckily no one got hurt.
Well except for Sharon but Bruce felt no pitty for the woman when Hulk crushed her splat against the concrete with his foot remembering his words as no one stopped Hulk from acting.
'Hurt angel green giant kill stupid blondie'
Wanda was quick to pull her spell back to let the agent feel the painful end.
"I hope there is time" Tony whispers afraid feeling his mark still slowly fading away against his skin like his heart slowly coming to an end after the crash.

Fae P.O.V
"The others are trying to reach through" Loki says gently as I lay with Peter on the bed tiredly as everything felt overwhelming my heart hurts as I didn't understand my emotions hating how I could feel so much for people in such a little time.
"They want to meet?" Peter asks as Loki hums "it appears so but it's whatever kitten wants" he says rubbing his hand gently through my hair.
"The others?" I whisper in question wanting to know who first.
"Yes Sam and the others who are not involved are asking you to meet them they are worried" he says and I knew in his voice he was nervous too.
"Is Pietro here?" I ask gripping Peter's hand as the memory of him almost dying was the last time I saw him his blood falling over my bedroom floor after I shot him.
"Yes he is one of them asking to see you but if you do not wish to see them then I won't let them near you pet. I gave you my word ill keep them away to the best of my capabilities and I can demand Father to make them to leave-" he says and I shake my head.
"It's okay I will see them but not the others" I decide knowing Loki knows who I meant and he nods "Are you sure?" Peter asks and I hum "I need to see them eventually but tomorrow" I say "I need just one more night"
"Then tomorrow it is" Loki says pressing a peck against my hair before getting up leaving the cloak to hug around me and Peter as I pet it "thank you cloakie"
"I shall go let the others know and bring back dinner do not answer the door until I return okay?" he says and we both nod in agreement watching as he disappears "Are you okay?" Peter asks pulling me closer and I nod moving my head under his chin "what if we can't fix this?"
"Then that's okay we will take it one step at a time" Peter whispers in a promise although I could hear his heart beat quicken his want to see the others slipping through our bond as he tries his best to hide it from me.
The night came sooner than I would like as Loki came back soon after with food. The hot day soon washed away as rain heavily poured down on the palace making sleep come easier for me tonight but I didn't stay asleep for long.
'Princessa" Pietro his face scrunches up in pain as he holds his hands to his chest making my eyes widen in horror as he leans against the wall in a dark room.
"Pietro?!" I ask confused as I see blood falling from the bullet wound as he looks at me "princessa you shot me why would you do that?" he asks and it's only then I see the gun in my hand making me instantly drop it as if it burned me.
"I'm sorry! I am so sorry" I cry trying to run to him but I couldn't move as red power suddenly chains me down to the floor in red fire burning me over making me cry.
"You killed me you monster!" he screams when he was suddenly gone his blood splattering everywhere staining on the floor and all over me as Wanda suddenly appears in front of me "stay away from all of us or else" she threatens her long red nails gripping into my skin.
"Pet" Loki says waking me suddenly making me jump but he catches me as tears pool in my eyes "Pietro- he-"
"Is very much alive and sleeping in my quarters on the other side of the castle with the rest of our mates" he promises pulling me back down in concern "it felt so real" I whisper so sure it was really happening again.
"Your nightmares are too frequent it's no wonder you are always tired. The other soldier is always the same" he says tiredly pressing kisses all over my face but I pause "you mean Bucky?" I ask as I run my hands over his cold skin to feel that this moment was real to ground me.
"Yes his mind has always been haunted it is very noisy" he grumbles yawning as I notice Peter snoring soundly behind me as I see it was early morning light just barely glimmering in through windows.
"The rain has stopped?" I ask and Loki hums pulling me closer "more sleep it's too early" he says but I don't think I could sleep after that even if I wanted to.
"I want to go for a walk in the gardens" I say seeing his green eyes open "Then let us-"
"No you stay here I want to go alone I haven't been alone in a while"
"Are you saying you're tired of us already?" he grins and I can't but smile back at his stupid beautiful face "you know that's not what I am saying"
"Good because if you ever try to leave me ill tie you to the bed and remind you of how tired I can truly make you" he purs reminding me of yesterday my legs instantly clenching "Loki" I say breathlessly and he smirks kissing over his mark before backing off and pulling me to him.
"I don't want to let you go alone" he says protectively rolling over to trap me under him once again "you know I will be okay if the others are in your room I won't bump into them and if I do I can reach you at any time" I say and he hums leaning down I wrap my arms around him pulling his lips to mine and he tries to deepen the kiss "not this time" I say pulling back and he playfully nibbles my bottom lip before letting go.
"Very well but if I sense you upset I won't hesitate to come and find you" he warns and I nod in agreeance watching as he moves to Peter who the cloak hugged tightly also breathing as if it was asleep. Loki joins in as Peter whispers to him in his sleep cuddling up cutely to Loki.
Picking up the dress I wore yesterday I quickly get changed before heading out and closing the door silently before being met with the quiet halls the shield still up not letting people from inside the palace come near but despite being behind it I felt like I hadn't had time to go other anything Peter and Loki making sure not to let me get upset.
But sometimes I needed some time to think.
I walk around the garden for a while the flowers catching my attention in awe as I walk through one of the quiet trails. Flowers light up in all colours under the dim light as morning air clings to my showing shoulders as wet stones create patterns traveling through the garden.
My mind kept going back to the nightmare of Pietro's painful face haunting me despite everyone telling me he is fine I needed to see him but Wanda's note made me hesitate yesterday putting it off till today.
She told me to stay away from them not that I blamed her.
He could have died and it would have been my fault.
Would I have ever even forgiven myself?
Do I even forgive myself now?
"Doll?"
Bucky's voice has me freezing as I look ahead.
Bucky stood looking tired as heavy bags sat underneath his dark blue eyes his complex looked paler as he wore a dark blue jumper and dark trousers.
He stood straight despite the exhaustion washing over his body as he held a bundle of red carnation flowers which all looked like they had been through a battle as they are hunched over the stem looking like it was barely holding on as petals lay around at his feet.
"Have you been out here all night?" I ask noting his clothes soaked as his hair was still dripping from earlier rain but he doesn't answer me as his eyes search me in awe before finally meeting mine looking terrified.
"I am sorry- I didn't want to come inside and upset you so I thought id wait but if you want me to leave I will-"
"You have been out here since yesterday? When you all first came?" I ask hearing Loki voice concern in my mind but I told him not to come.
Not yet.
"Yes the flowers they were meant to be beautiful- I know it won't make up for it- but in my day- I thought- I am sorry I shouldn't have came" he says turning around to walk away from the castle.
'Yes his mind is always haunted very noisy'
"Why didn't you just tell me?" I ask making him stop and he turns looking in pain "at first I was afraid you would reject me but then the more I fell for you the idea of you not wanting to be in my life terrified me even more I know it's no excuse and what I did was unforgivable-"
"But you were being controlled" I whisper Pietro bleeding coming to mind.
"What was it like?" I ask and he looked at me pained "please" I say needing to hear it.
"The worst thing I ever been through that night as I- I kept screaming and begging at myself to stop. I would have done anything even killed myself if not to hurt them but everytime Hydra controlled me it was like I was on the inside screaming at myself and each time I wanted everything to end I begged for someone else to kill me just so I wouldn't hurt anyone ever again but death never came. Being trapped in yourself-"
"Is the worst feeling" I whisper making his eyes widen "my ex... Seth he made me do things horrible things and then he tricked me into hurting Pietro I almost killed him" I whisper tearing up at the thought "I almost killed one of our soulmates"
"No doll you would never hurt him you would never hurt anyone" he says stepping closer but stopping "Despite not knowing why you shot him we all knew"
"And you" I say giving my best at a smile with an understanding look in my eyes "you would have never killed my parents if you had a chance you would have never killed anyone-"
"It's different" he cuts me off gripping onto the flowers "I ended thousands of lives doll they turned me into a monster"
Pictures of all the creatures I hurt popped up as I remember the baby rabbit terrified squeals that night.
"No" I say also hesitantly taking a step forward my heart hurting for him "They made you do it you aren't that person Bucky.... the same as I am not the person Seth controlled me to be" I whisper finally acknowledging that.
Bucky was the same as I blaming ourselves as if we had any control over any of it.
"I don't know where we can go from here" I whisper "I need some more time but I don't want you to stay out in the rain I don't want what other people did to ruin what we had"
His eyes widen at this tears gather in his eyes as well as mine as we both felt the pull of the mark we both had been numbed too "can I-I" he says shakily "can I touch you?"
The thought of his hand on my mother throat comes to me but I shake it off.
That was not him.
Not my soulmate.
It was someone else in control of Bucky.
I finally nod needing to be close to him too as he runs to me I run meeting him halfway and we instantly bash into each other.
His wet body wraps around me his face falling into my neck "I am so sorry doll" he says hugging me tightly "so sorry I will never forgive myself I thought I lost you I thought I hurt you I didn't want to carry on after" he whispers breaking down his legs finally falling in exhaustion as his knees hit the hard ground his head resting on my stomach as he hugs me tightly.
"I swear ill spend forever making it up to you" he says as I wipe some of my tears away.
"Please just never lie to me again" I whisper "if you do I don't think we would ever survive it"
"I swear on my hands and knees doll ill spend the rest of my life making it up to you my life is yours" he says as I kneel down in front of him "just be honest from now on" I beseech "its all I ask" I say and he nods quickly "anything"
My eyes then go to the fallen bouquet and his follow "they are for you I know they are nothing to the flowers here but they mean-" he stops "it doesn't matter they are ruined now"
"They mean love" I say knowingly with a small smile reaching for them but he takes them back "They are broken doll ill get you new ones you deserve better" he says but I take them anyway.
"I like them better like this" I whisper "broken things can be beautiful too"
