Library [12-8]

[imonscholarship.livejournal.com]

Dan didn't know why he braved the stinktastic bog outside the school to come here today. Maybe out of some nerd loyalty. Whatever the reason, he was here and pretending nothing weird was going on because denial was the best medicine. Or something.

//Mm, but generally with good reason,// Jono offered. //You want to make things better for people. I can appreciate that. But this... it's something you can't take away from me. I need this.//

The fear, yes. That loathing for what he was. It kept him from getting too comfortable with it, from using it in ways that powers like his should never be used.

... Or, at least, that was how Jono-logic approached it.

Raven knew a great deal about self-loathing. She just mostly hid it by focusing on others, which was exactly why she'd been drawn to Jono in the first place.

"One day you will not," she said, finally lifting her head. She raised her hand to brush her fingertips against his cheek above the wrappings if he'd let her. "One day you will see yourself how I see you. I have let you feel that already."

//You have,// Jono agreed, closing his eyes as her fingers touched his cheek. //And I don't know that I will... but I suppose I'll try.//

It was... not terribly likely that he would ever care for himself that way. But it was nice to think about, if nothing else.

"That is all I can ask," Raven said, stroking his face. Ask, not force. She'd never do that, no matter how much her father tried to tempt her. She had to maintain that control, no matter what.
