This is how it feels When the trust you had is broken

[chiefdefense]

Who: Diego Armando (beenwaitinglong) and Mia Fey (chiefdefense).
When: Evening on the 22nd, after this.
Where: Diego's apartment.
Summary: After Diego is taken ill, Mia learns exactly how much has been kept from her and she is not. Happy.
Warnings: Angst and heated words

[By the time Mia gets off the NV from Dr. Banner, she feels completely sick to her stomach and that same, dread sense of unease that she had hoped never to have to feel again in association with Diego. The news that he had had some sort of seizure on the train on his way home is so shockingly unexpected that it makes her head spin and suddenly she's 23 again, getting bad news from a stranger, but this time she has no explanation for it and she's not about to wait for one.

As soon as he gets home they're going to the emergency room, because healthy men do not suddenly collapse on trains and start fitting and she knows that with Maya and Phoenix gone, she absolutely cannot afford to lose Diego.

Not again.

To distract herself, she sets about petting Mir and listens out for the sound of Diego's key in the door.]

Comments

[Part of him feels guilty because he knows he still hasn't been completely honest with her. He knows there is a dark, pitch-black part of his past in the last few years that he can't bring himself to poison her with. He knows that the thought that she was responsible for it would hurt her worse than ever.

But maybe now that she's here, now that they're together, maybe they can forget it. Maybe the past will finally stay buried and he can work on being him again- the man she fell in love with, the one who was still worth her, the man named Diego Armando, who he still doesn't feel like some mornings.

He leans up into the kiss once he feels it, laying in her arms fully now.]

Will you lay with me a while?

[chiefdefense]

Try stopping me.

[She reaches up to comb her fingers through his hair before pressing her forehead against his.]

I missed this, I missed knowing what's going on in that head of yours, or at least having some sort of an idea.

[She traces the shell of his ear before her fingers return to his hair.]

God, you have no idea how much I missed you.

[beenwaitinglong]

Well now... I'm not as interesting if I don't keep a little bit of mystery, right?

[He smiles lazily, surrendering to her touches and nudges. This was what he used to lie in bed and ache for on days like this, days where he woke up feeling sick and groggy.]

I think I do have some idea.

[chiefdefense]

[She laughs, her whole being completely relaxed as she pets him like an oversized cat.]

And they say that it's the woman in the relationship who has to work at being the mysterious one.

[She stretches her legs, toes brushing against his shin.]
