never taught me how to drown

She's drunk. He's drunk. They've gotten drunk and she's admitted something that she swore she'd keep to herself. Halo wasn't going to ruin things for him, he was way too important to her for that. She wasn't going to get in the way of him being happy, so she hadn't said anything to anyone. Never... not until now. Not until now and Mortis was here and he was sad and they were drinking and just, one thing led to another and-- Halo's head spun. There were so many thoughts, there were so many feelings. Big feelings. Shit.

You love me? Right, she'd said that part out loud. Halo said the quiet part out loud. Her heart pounded in her chest. The room was spinning, or... was she spinning? No, it was definitely her head. Shy after being confronted with exactly what she said, the pale girl hid her face against Mortis's shoulder. All she could do was nod, hiding away here. "Sorry," it's a muffled whisper into his dense, dark coat. Halo worried, now, that she'd made this about her. Though the girl was trying to comfort him, to make him feel better... she'd made it about her. Her feelings. That was wrong, it had to be wrong, this was about him and his feelings. She was supposed to be making him feel better, and she'd ended up being a bad friend in all of it.
