{breathe you in again
just to feel you}
There was a reason Abra used to find comfort in forgetting he had a heart once upon a time. It made things easier, made the pain he had grown up trying and failing, trying and failing again to become immune to. It made him impervious to things like heartbreak and lust, made him a type of robot. He was a robot, in truth, one who did his job and got out of the way, and that life had been exactly what he wanted until his lips felt the gentle brush of Hannah O'Leary's.
And he hated her for it.
He hated her for leaving him, but only in a way that made him remember than-- no, he did not hate her at all. In fact, he quite believed he loved her. But love could not revoke this curse. "Hannah O'Leary" still echoed around the square. He still held on to her as tightly as he could until the peacekeepers pried him away. She still stood on the stage while everyone watched a boy forged from iron somehow melt in the absence of his sunlight.
They almost didn't let him say goodbye after, but he begged. "I have to tell her goodbye! I have to!" Eventually the took pity. "You have five minutes. Kid has a shitton of family 'wants to see 'er." Two minutes wasn't ideal, but it was what he had and he took it for everything it was worth.
"I love you." he said, even before the doors could close. He realized the moment he said them, they hadn't ever been spoken before. Not to anyone and especially not to Hannah, but he said them regardless. "I love you, Hannah. And I'll wait for you and I'll do whatever I can to get you back home to me because I love you, Hannah. I love you." Somewhere in the mix he felt his eyes begin to sting with tears but he blinked them away. She was the one that was allowed to be broken then, not him. He swallowed deep and pulled her in.
"You'll come back home." He said, more to himself than to her.
