…      words  settle  uneasily  in  the  spaces  between  his  ribs,     different  now  than  they  would  have  been  five  years  ago.      rendering  him  immobile  for  a  split  second ,        brain  whirring  mile a minute as  brown  hues  don't  waver  from  her  face.        flashes  of  fevered  skin ,        spilled  blood    &      pained  moans  occupy  him.        whispers  of wesker  and  mind  control ,      buried  caskets  devoid  of  closure  but  full  of  loss.       he's  not  the  man  he  was  back  then ,      so trusting , so easy   ────      worry  has  made  a  home  of  him  indeed  ,     an  unwanted  tenant  that  moved  in  ages  ago  who now  refuses  to  vacate  the  premises [ no  matter  the  eviction  notices plastered on the front door.  ]  ... god , how in the fuck did they end up here ??   jaw  tightens  just  a  little  before  forcing  himself  to  ease off ,       allowing a soft breath out thru his nose ,   nonchalant  shrug  of  his  shoulders  following suit.       ‘  yeah   …     well  ’       logically  he  know  this ,   he  does ; jill valentine is not the type that needs saving ....    but  logic  doesn’t  do  much  against  memories  that  haunt.        gaze  dips ,      and   beat  passes   before  he  allows  their  eyes  to  meet  again.      ‘  lucky  you ,     ’m  not  exactly  great  at  followin'  instructions.  ’       crazy , because he's  only  been  doing  it  his  entire  life.      ghost  of  a  smile  hooks itself into the corners of his  mouth ,       lame attempt  at  masking  whatever  heaviness  still plagues  his  mind.

bright optics settle on the harsh scratch slotted in the awkward space slotted next to the shoulder blade , all she can think is that must have hurt ( * & that the blonde shouldn't stare that only makes it worst. ) shifting immediately out of instinct to assist. " wait , I'll help you out. " she doesn't give Jill time to answer , carefully & to the best of her ability wrapping the bandage around the area.

" is that alright ? can't say I'm an expert at this. " leaning back slightly to check , but it the thought that counts right ? that what people say. well ... it not that bad .

crawlin' back to you ever thought of callin' when you've had a few? 'cause i always do maybe i'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new

The words cut as much as they needed to, and Chris couldn't bring himself to look Jill in the eye. Benching her hadn't been his idea, but he'd agreed to it—and she had every right to be furious with him. But he'd just fractured something between them that had gone unbroken for so many years: trust.

So it was with bile in his throat that he said, "You don't have a choice."

He was a hypocrite, her own words spiraling in his mind as he forced himself to look her in the eye as much as he wanted to look away in shame. "I can't let you throw yourself back into something you're not ready for." I can't watch you get hurt. He'd already lost her once—saving him. And while he knew he couldn't wrap her up and keep her safe for the rest of her life (and didn't particularly want to, either), he knew he had to do something lest she destroy herself before she took the time to properly heal all the wounds she'd received when the world thought she was dead.
