the mutant is quick to shake his head. bitter laugh slipping through as hand raises to smooth back dishevelled locks. ‘ a fact ?? no , natasha , a fact is all I have to do is LOOK AT YOU && you’re dead. I don’t care about a sprain during sparring or a few bruises after sex , I really fucking don’t. you could accidentally hurt me but I could accidentally kill you , && I’d much rather you snap my neck before the latter happens. ’
natasha took a moment to examine him closely, and she frowned deeply. she’d been so many things over the years, been accused of so many crimes. her name itself was a slander against his own. ❝ i don’t mean sparring. i don’t mean the hickeys i leave, scott. i mean that the people around us will look at yu and think less of you just for being with me. i’m not a hero to them, and you will always be. ❞ she pressed, reaching for his shoulder, ❝ you would never intend to hurt me, and i know that. that’s the difference. by being with you, i’m already doing it. i’m making that choice and it kills me to know that people think poorly of someone who has done so much good. ❞
