@the-hostess liked this post for a small sad boy

He’d gotten better at crying silently. He’d HAD to be good at crying silently or Tobias would HURT him even more.

His head was down as he walked, trying his hardest to staunch the BLEEDING from his nose, the nose he had no idea his father had BROKEN. (He couldn’t tell types of pain apart anymore he just knew TEARS he could get away with but NOISE was unacceptable.)

He bumped into someone, and an audible squeak of surprise left him as black eyes raised automatically to the person in front of him, a small pale hand still trying & FAILING to stem the crimson flow from his face.

ONE word, so soft it was almost whispered left the boy’s mouth when he realised he’d bumped into an ADULT.

“Sorry.”
