No. No, no, no, no, no. "No…" This was not how this was supposed to go. He wasn't just supposed to be strong for himself, he was supposed to be strong for her. "No." This wasn't how the world was supposed to work. This wasn't fair. Arcadia had ruined everything else for him and this, this was the one thing he thought was perfect in a city he despised. And here it was, trying to walk away. "NO!" He didn't even realize he'd moved. The ice in his veins was needles of agony but he didn't care. Hector darted forward, nearly tripping over his trembling legs, and grabbed Anya's arm, yanking her back before she could leave the bushes. His eyes burned and his heart was screaming out a rhythm in his chest that pounded so badly it hurt beneath his ribs, his hands shook, his legs trembled, the ground felt unstable and the world felt off-kilter but, goddamn it, he was going to set it right. "No, that's not fair, that's right, and you know it isn't! So what if you keep fighting? I'm going to keep fighting too! I'm fighting for something and so are you! We can protect each other! The fighting isn't going to stop, Anya. It's not going to stop unless we make it stop and if you leave now I--" He faltered, promises of harm and pain on the tip of his tongue. But no, he couldn't say that to her, he couldn't hurt her like that when she was so adamant about not hurting him. That wasn't fair. That wasn't right. "It doesn't matter that you're an Elite and I'm a rebel! That doesn't matter! None of that matters! None of that is what's important! I don't care how many times I get hurt, I don't care how many battles we fight in, I don't care how many times we end up in situations like this! I don't care, you hear me, I don't care! All I care about is you! Stop trying to take everything on by yourself! Stop trying to shoulder my burdens too! That's not fair, that's not right, and you know it and I let you do it because I thought it would make you happy! That's all I want, Anya, that's all I want. I just…I just want to…" He slipped. God, he didn't know how he'd held up as long as he had but Hector lost control just enough. Hot tears slid down his face, his breathing hitched, his grip loosening on Anya's arm. His shoulders shook as he tried to pull himself together. He would not do this again in front of her. He would hold it together. He would be strong, he would show her how strong he could me. Sniffing, Hector raised his free arm and wiped his face. Then, with a determined expression that was a few steps short of his usual, stubborn scowl, he looked up, met her gaze, and said in a voice that was incredibly steady, "I just want you to be happy, Anya. I want to make you happy because I love you. And if you're happy then--then I can be happy. Don't you get it? That's all I want. That's all I want…" |

What was she to do now? She had realized that no matter what she chose to do, she would inevitably somehow end up hurting him. And so she had prepared herself to choose the lesser of two evils by leaving. No, that wasn't right. Leaving would have simply saved her the pain of watching him suffer. But she hadn't expected to be pulled back so suddenly; hadn't expected to be fought for so persistently. If she was conflicted before, her mind was now at a complete loss as of what to do. "Idiot." She blinked the tears from her eyes, and in one quick motion her hand had moved, slapping Hector squarely across the cheek. In the next instant, her arms were wrapped tightly around his shoulders. "Why..." she whispered next to his ear. "Why can't you realize that I'm no good for you?" But despite her words, despite the shaking in her arms and the rasp in her breath, her embrace didn't loosen. Somewhere deep down, a part of her was relieved that he hadn't simply let her go. |

Hector jolted at the slap and then abruptly felt her arms around him and his mind short circuited. She was so close, incredibly close, and it just felt so right. The teenager wrapped his arms around her and pushed his face into her shoulder, squeezing his eyes shut. "You've got it backwards." He said in a low voice, "I'm not good enough for you. You're brilliant. You're beautiful. You're perfect. I don't know how you could ever end up with a loser like me." "I'm never going to let you go. I love you more than anything else in the world." |

"Idiot." Hector or herself, Anya wasn't quite sure who she was throwing that word at. But in the end, that was the only word that she could muster from her throat. Part of her was still scared. Scared that she wouldn't be able to properly return Hector's feelings; scared that she would just be letting him down at the very end of it all. She had said that she wasn't the one to make him happy, and she still believed it. But he wanted to make this work, wanted everyone to be happy, including even herself. That resolve was something she couldn't look away from. It was something brilliant that she couldn't help but admire. After a moment she pulled herself away with a smile and pointed to the opening behind her. "I believe you had wanted to get out of this place." |

The smile was sunlight. Good god, Hector loved it when she smiled and he couldn't help but return it, "I wouldn't mind getting out. I hate hospitals. But I'm pretty sure it was you who was hiding in the bushes." The teenager smirked, slid his hand into hers, tangled his fingers with hers, leaned in close and said, "I'll take you anywhere. Wherever you want to go. I'll take you." |
