So about the gnomes?

❛ @paetal said . . . 'you need to stay away from me.' / stef @ mia ❜

𝙉𝙀𝙑𝙀𝙍 𝙃𝘼𝙎 𝙈𝙄𝘼 𝙁𝙀𝙇𝙏 𝙈𝙊𝙍𝙀 𝙎𝙏𝙐𝙋𝙄𝘿 𝙏𝙃𝘼𝙉 𝙍𝙄𝙂𝙃𝙏 𝙉𝙊𝙒. the signs were all there. she truly couldn't have thought this whole song and dance would continue, right ? crystal hues stare up at stef, shock not hidden from him. as of late he'd been pulling away. ignoring her texts, not answering her phone calls. at first she had just assumed he was busy . . . the guy is busy and well, she is too. maybe some time apart was what they needed anyway. the last thing she wants to do is overstay her welcome. but this . . . this had never been in the cards. but how could she have missed it ? he'd been screaming it for weeks. sucking in a shaky breath the princess fights back tears the best she can. mia was nothing if not respectful. if these were his wishes she wouldn't try to fight it nor argue . . . but she hates this feeling. it's selfish, she knows. to want his company so badly she'd stand here and cry right in front of him. there was always time later to cry. had she pushed too hard ? gotten too close ? mia wishes she had the strength to ask but she doesn't. chin meets her chest, head falling in a meager attempt to hide her face.

❛ um, okay. alright. ❜ she says lamely. she should fight it, tell him he's wrong and that she can fix this. she won't bug him anymore while he's working and she won't beg him to come over and watch movies. she will refrain from all of it if he just stays. but that doesn't happen. taking a step back she turns away from stef, teeth digging into the flesh of her cheek. she tastes iron. ❛ i . . . i'm sorry stef. really. ❜
