Just You And I

Bellamy scolded him.

Of course she did, Gavroche told himself. He wasbeing an idiot. He wasn’t caring for himself and was letting the past hang over him like a dark cloud. He hated that she was right… but he had always admired Bellamy’s brutal honesty. The woman wouldn’t sugar-coat things to spare feelings… she would tell you what needed to be said no matter what the result. It wasn’t that she didn’t care, no, but hiding from the truth wasn’t going to get him anywhere, was it? The winged male knew this… but that didn’t mean he wanted to talk about the thing that had been weighing on them. His ears flicked back and he whined softly.

“Bellamy, I don’t want to talk about this.” He tried to interject, to stop his mate from pressing forward on this topic, but Bellamy wouldn’t have it. Tears began to prick his eyes and the male narrowed his gaze at the ground. “Well damn the divinities and their grand plans!” The words were spoken with a fierceness uncommon for the winged male. “She was a child, Bells! A child! She shouldn’t have had to go through what we went to! What do they want from us? To damn not only us but an innocent pup…” Gavroche gritted his teeth.

“I don’t understand them… they were supposed to lead us on a path of light… but we’ve been nothing but forsaken.” Gav wasn’t looking at her. “What right do I have to live if she could still be out there? Is it not my duty as her father to rescue her?” The tears were rolling down his cheeks now. “Why does she have to suffer…?” There it was. His voice broke and the tiny male crumpled against Bellamy as he turned her head towards her.

“What did we do wrong? Why are they punishing us? Is it my wings? Is it…” He trailed off, shuddering. “What if all this really is my fault?” Gavroche whimpered. “What if I lose you too?”
