within reason





everything within reason. its how things are done usually between u and i. still fairly new to each other's presence. still curious, still testing the waters. we ask each other questions.

"what name would u like to go by?"

small talk. anything to make things seem less off. they still do at times. when talking, one makes eye contact for a second while the other never breaks. now we know things about each other. surface level. within reason.

 "u changed ur hair?"

caught me off guard. clever. u held a lock of my hair. it caught others off guard too. unfazed is how i appear. i nod. u twirl the lock. just to see the colors. within reason. 

"are u doing okay?"

break the silence. u ask this often. mostly fall behind with me while we walk. i always say that i am. u ask again, this time standing a bit closer. i look up at u and u stare back. reassure me that we can leave if i wanted to. i thank him even if i know he's going to ask me later. checking up on me like he always does. within reason.

"are u hurt?"

how you manage, truly its beyond me. my head was ringing. u put ur hand in the way so i wouldnt get hurt again. i pretended not to notice. u pretended to not care. every turn after that i felt myself moving towards ur hand. u moved. closer. head in ur hands. without a word. without a mention. we stayed that way for a moment. without reason.
