      “ i wonder what she thinks of me , when you stay awake after you make love to her but i'm still on your brain . ”

“make sure nobody sees you leave,” tybalt says in a hushed tone, a hand splayed to nicola’s lower back. he peers around the corner, spotting his wife with a martini in hand, before he looks back to nicola. “she’ll be gone before we know it. i promise.”

“c’mon, hold still.” her tone is firm but her touch is gentle as she grasps his chin and turns his face back where she wants it. “you weren’t squirming this much when you were getting punched.”

–––––––––––HE’S NERVOUS. FAR more nervous than he’s ever been, but matthew isn’t one to confess his feelings so boldly.         ‘ yeah, i've never seen something quite like you. ’        his voice shakes, only to try and cover it with a pathetic laugh.      ‘ i try to look away, but something's in the way. ’

“ —listen to me. nothing, and i mean nothing anybody says or does is going to change my mind. i’m not leaving you behind, i can’t. ” it was stubborn, a trait often linked with ayaz but there was something different about where the feeling derived from. and they both knew what that was. @solonelys​
