[The unexpected sound of fabric ripping caused Sunny to flinch… until Kel’s explanation came with it. Calm, caring, as usual.
How could he say that though? Who wouldn’t be bothered by the sight of a missing eye? Sunny himself hadn’t bothered to look in the river’s reflection, hadn’t wanted to. He just knew it had to be awful, even further than that… and he had a weak stomach to begin with.
But… Kel was Kel. Considerate, even when Sunny didn’t deserve it. God, he didn’t deserve it at all. His fists balled up, clenching his shorts to avoid nails biting into his skin.
The teen nodded. If only for the fact that they really couldn’t put that strip of fabric back on Kel’s shirt, it would be a waste not to use it… right?]
…sorry… [He mumbled again, small, curling in on himself more. Even the fact that he was apologizing so much… that had to be annoying. Would Kel get fed up with it? Leave him alone? Decide Sunny wasn’t worth it after all? But… what else could he say?]
CW: eye discussion, low self-esteem, fear of abandonment
