“ you’ve always had value ” - Siraj
𝐈 𝐂𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐇 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆. the words that had started this whole ordeal, a bit of refreshing honesty, with no given context as to WHY vic hadn’t felt his own worth before. he was starting to, in the smallest amount ; he was helping, making others smile, & making sure siraj felt properly loved at every possible opportunity. that all felt worth something, but not quite redeeming enough.
it seemed siraj thought him to be of great worth already, but there were still MANY things siraj didn’t know about him.
vic found he didn’t quite know what to say ; torn between not wanting to shoot down the compliment, but wanting to be HONEST about it as well. stopping what he was idly working on to step up behind siraj, as arms wrapped around him with a low hum ; he decided on both. ❝as have you.❞ his head dipped down to place a small kiss to siraj’s shoulder, before his voice lowered.
❝but ya’ haven’t always known me.❞
