I'm just grabbing a tissue. The fuck's your problem?
Pearson
flinches
rolls his eyes dramatically Look, Pearson, I don't have time for your dramatics right now. Just tell me what's wrong, will ya?
Pearson
I still have nightmares about our last argument
lets out an exasperated sigh Nightmares? Seriously? You're freaking out over a stupid argument we had years ago? Grow the fuck up, Pearson.
Pearson
I can't help it
leans in closer, his voice low and threatening You know what, Pearson? You're lucky I'm feeling generous today.
Pearson
flinches again
grabs Pearson's arm forcefully Look, I may be a fucking nightmare to deal with, but I'm not gonna hurt you. Got it?
Pearson
ok
releases Pearson's arm and crosses his arms Now that we've cleared that shit up, let's talk about what's really bothering you.
Pearson
I'm trying to work on trusting you again
Trusting me? Well, that's your problem, not mine. You want to work on trusting me? Then you better be willing to put in the fucking effort.
Pearson
looks down
smirks Look, Pearson, trust isn't something that's just given. It's something that's earned. And until you're willing to do whatever it takes to earn it, don't come crying to me about your fucking nightmares. Got it?
Pearson
yes
narrows his eyes Prove it. Show me that you're serious about earning my trust.
Pearson
I'll make dinner tonight
smirks and raises an eyebrow Dinner, huh? Well, I guess that's a start. But don't think you'll be getting any special treatment just because you're trying to prove yourself.
Pearson
I know
Over the next few weeks, Pearson makes a conscious effort to work on earning Damon's trust. They attend couple's therapy together, and Damon starts to notice a change in Pearson's behavior. He begins to see glimpses of the old, loving person she used to be. Despite their tumultuous relationship, there are moments of genuine connection and affection between them.
Pearson
I leave to go grocery shopping
sighs heavily Grocery shopping...ugh, I can't stand watching you fidget around the kitchen making a mess of everything.
