Prompt from razberrycreme. 4x3, something angsty.
Hiding in the Tube Slide
We all have our baggage from the war. I should have known better than to bring up Wing Zero, but I did it anyway.
That explains why I was searching the neighborhood for Quatre at eleven o'clock at night.
He just feels so guilty. No matter my assurances that he wasn't himself, he feels the need to take the blame. It wasn't his fault, and I truly believe that. If only he could understand it.
I found him hiding in the tube slide at the playground down the street.
"Love?"
A dull thump on the plastic was the only response I received.
"Please come out."
"No."
I sighed a little, crawling partway into the tube. "Don't make me drag you out, sweetheart."
"Just leave me alone."
I grabbed his foot, pulling him partway down. He tried to find purchase on the slick walls, but they offered none. "Heart, please, I just..."
I hushed him by snaking a hand up his body and pressing it to his lips. "It's okay. It's over now. It was never you to begin with."
"It was." He whispered against my fingertips and I yanked him the rest of the way out of the tube.
"No," I said softly, pressing my lips gently to his, "It wasn't."
I pulled him up and held him close, just letting him absorb my warmth. "I can never forgive myself."
"Then let me," I said, grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the house.
I know that no matter what I do, I can't make him forgive himself. I can just take the time to let him know that I have, and I will do whatever it takes to show it to him.
