He didn't expect the constriction that suddenly had his voice tight, or the pain in his chest, the increased fear in his gut. She let him be completely honest, with others and with himself, and it wasn't always something he was prepared for.
Dipping his head down, he rested it against her shoulder, holding her as if he was afraid of letting her go. "So am I...."
She was only just keeping her emotions back, her face buried into his chest. Two fights in one day, this wasn't their day. And she couldn't wait for it to be over, couldn't wait for this party to be over. A knot twisted in her stomach at his apology, and she shook her head against him.
"Don't....don't apologize. You didn't do anything... you were just being yourself." Something that couldn't be helped, and something she didn't want to ever change no matter how it irritated her on certain occasions like today.
