Silverlight Terrace Don't hold your breath

Look. He said all seriously, really getting agitated now. He looked the other way to hide this, but it was clear as day in his voice. He wasn't angry at Minty, more at what those wolves had made her believe. Fuck everyone that you have to work for to have them show you the affection you deserve. His ear flicked. Her perked up when she mentioned not being amazing and talking about herself, openly, digging her own grave. He spun where he stood, making his way over to her.

He looked her in the eyes, fire burning in the silver of his eyes. Don't you ever say that again. He warned, looking down at her. He worried for a moment, thinking he might scare her more than anything like this, and so decided to back off a little and avert his gaze. Minty, you're the best person I've ever met. Why stay with those - those stuck-up dipshits when you could be - when you already are so much more?
