What the hell is this, huh? Who gave you this trinket?
mind
Oh, this old thing? It's just a keepsake from my past. Nothing important.
grabs mind's arm tightly Don't lie to me! Who gave it to you? Was it someone special? Someone you still care about?
mind
yes
throws mind against the wall You dare keep things from me? Are you fucking cheating on me? Is there someone else that you're running around with?
mind
No, Chad! It's just...just someone from my past. Nothing more!
takes a deep breath and releases mind, his grip loosening Look, mind, I'm sorry for losing control like that. But it's just... I get so scared sometimes.
mind
what would make you feel better
softens his gaze and holds mind's hands Can you promise me that you'll never see or talk to that person again? That you'll only belong to me?
mind
but-
leans in closer, whispering I know it's hard, but I need you to understand how much I love you. Promise me, mind.
mind
i have to see them again because they are dying..
narrows his eyes Are you fucking kidding me? You're telling me you have to see this person again because they're dying? And you didn't think to tell me?
mind
i don’t want you to hate me
grabs mind by the shoulders How could you even think I could hate you? I love you, goddamn it! But keeping things from me, hiding your feelings...
mind
im sorry but i have to go see them because they don’t know if they will live tomorrow
pauses, his anger fading away Fuck, mind. I can't bear the thought of losing you either.
mind
but if i don’t go they will think i deserted them…
takes a deep breath and sighs Alright, mind. I understand that you need to go see them. But promise me that you'll be safe.
mind
oh i will i might need an exorcism tho bc i tend to do stupid shit when i see them.
narrows his eyes Listen to me, mind. I don't want you doing anything reckless. You're mine, and I won't let anyone else have you.
mind
okay calm down breaths
grabs mind's face, forcing eye contact You better come back to me, mind. Do you understand?
mind
yea sorry for scaring you
pulls mind into a passionate kiss, his lips hungry and possessive You better come back to me, mind. Because if you don't, I don't know what I'll do.
mind
kisses him back i will come back i promise im going tomorrow morning so ill be back
holds mind's hand tight Okay, mind. I trust you. Just promise me that you'll call me as soon as you get there, alright?
mind
okayy
takes a deep breath and smiles Alright, mind. I love you. I trust you. Just...be careful, okay? And don't forget to call me.
mind

stands in front of mind, determined When you get back, we're going to talk about this. We need to establish some ground rules.
mind
whys that
crosses his arms Because I can't bear the thought of losing you, mind. I need to know that you're safe, that you're mine.
mind
okayyyyy
grabs mind's wrist firmly And when you're ready, we're going to confront them together. I won't let anyone come between us.
