❝ Oliver, PLEASE !  (   oliver.   )

                    NO. Y’don’ GET t’speak ! ❞ He growls, tears springing to his eyes as he watches fear enter Aiden’s gaze & for a split second he feels AWFUL for making the man ( he STILL loves ) so scared. It lasts no longer than that as he lets the hot tears roll down his ashen features. Oliver’s gloved hands ball into tight fists as he vibrates angrily on the spot ; he’s got APPREHENSION swirling in the pits of his stomach—EVEN NOW THAT HE KNEW THE TRUTH. He says nothing as he grips the collar of Aiden’s jacket, yanking him from the floor, not seeming to care about the fact that he’d hit his head on the floor ( despite his instinct to be concerned for him. ) ❝ After all I told y’about MORGAN, after I opened up t’no one but YOU & y’STILL did THIS ! ❞ He’s building his anger, before his opposing fist connects with the left side of Aiden’s face. He does it again, connecting with his nose & the satisfying c r u n c h of Aiden’s nose resounds around the otherwise empty diner as he lets the older killjoy crumble to the ground. ❝ You’re just… ❞ ‘as bad as Morgan’ but he doesn’t say it, ❝ …Fuckin’ AWFUL ! You KNEW I was BROKEN & yet y’still, y’broke me even FURTHER !! ❞ He’s screaming as he drops to his knees, tears still falling hotly down his face, ❝ W—why’d you do it AIDEN ? ❞

            The redhead felt the pain SHOOT through his jaw then his nose before falling to the cold floor below. He falls to his palms, but he’s too WEAK at this point to even do that, & he falls to his side as he feels the warm, thick liquid slowly pouring down his crimson cheek. ❝ I —- - I —– - ❞ His voice was soft, barely above a WHISPER as he pulled himself from the floor with all the STRENGTH he had left.  (   there wasn’t much left.   )  

            Aiden manages to sit up before letting his back hit the wall of the musty diner. There was a soft wheezing in his breath, staring across to view Oliver. He’s CRYING, begging why he even did it but he just —- - he can’t. Instead, he remains QUIET. The worst thing Oliver can do is kill him & at this point, he’d embrace it.
