rathawayxhartley: “I didn’t say you shouldn’t be scared, I said you don’t have to be. Cisco, you’re not okay. But we can tackle it later. You’re not alone.” Hartley leaned in again, capturing his lips, hoping it would bring him some solace. “I’ll help you remember without a migraine after. You can just relax. I canContinue reading

rathawayxhartley: Hartley shook his head, squeezing Cisco’s arm soothingly. “It’s okay, Cisco. We can work through it together. Everything. You don’t have to be scared.” “I have every reason to be scared. I can’t remember what happened the past few weeks, I’ve hurt a bunch of people, I couldn’t save my own sister, and I let theContinue reading

rathawayxhartley: Hartley leaned in. “Okay, don’t exert yourself,” he said, cupping his cheek. “First, I leaned in like this.” He moved even closer, their lips inches apart. “And I stayed here for a couple seconds. Thinking that I was making a horrible mistake. But you didn’t push me away. So I did this.” Hartley closed the gap, kissingContinue reading

rathawayxhartley: “Cisco. We don’t have to talk about your condition. But tell me more about what you just remembered. What did I do?” Hartley spoke softly and slid his hand up slightly, still rubbing circles with his thumb to try to get him to relax. “Just talk through what you saw, that’s all. Then I won’tContinue reading

rathawayxhartley: Hartley reached out, cupping Cisco’s cheek, still looking incredibly concerned. “Cisquito. Sit down.” He gently directed Cisco down to the couch. “Explain what just happened. Your eyes unfocused and your breathing was erratic. You truly don’t remember what happened with me, do you? I thought you were making fun of me.” Hartley’s hand hadContinue reading

rathawayxhartley: Hartley’s face was permanently stuck in a shocked expression. From the sudden outburst to being pinned to the wall to suddenly Cisco looking like he was having some sort of stroke or seizure or something. It took him a few seconds for Hartley to actually process before grabbing at his collar and rubbing hisContinue reading

rathawayxhartley: Hartley flinched but gritted his teeth, moving inside and shutting the door, laughing humorlessly as he saw the leopard print boxers and the typed note wadded up on the floor. “So what’s your excuse for that, huh? Some robber broke in and left some underwear and a note thanking you for the night and signedContinue reading

rathawayxhartley: “Do you think this is a /game/ Cisco? Because it’s not. Pretending like this is the matrix and everything was in my mind isn’t logical nor entertaining. Just explain to me why you ghosted me. And don’t just say ‘because you’re a prick’ because you were just fine with me when I was inContinue reading

rathawayxhartley: “Of course that’s not a rope burn. It doesn’t look anything like a rope burn, Cisco. But fine, then how do you explain the present I left?” Hartley was started to get agitated. Cisco thought he was stupid. That was the only explanation. “Present? What are you talking about? I haven’t been here inContinue reading

rathawayxhartley: Hartley looked utterly broken. “You got me in bed because you said you liked me.” Hartley took off one of his gloves, reaching out with a shaking hand and gently pushing back Cisco’s hair to see if the mark he’d left was still there. The faint but notable outline was there, right where he hadContinue reading
