He doesn’t speak. Doesn’t look back.
But his hands are still shaking.
He doesn’t speak. Doesn’t look back.
But his hands are still shaking.
For one breathless second, his hatred curls around something else—too heavy to name. The line between violence and want blurs. Again.
Scar leans in.
“Tell me,” he whispers, “what part of you misses me the most?”

Scar leans in.
“Tell me,” he whispers, “what part of you misses me the most?”
“There you are,” he whispers. “That fire. That’s the real you. You think I made you feel that? You already had it. I just brought it out.”
Their faces are inches apart.
“I should kill you,” Rover breathes. “Right now.”

“It showed you that part of you that wanted to be ruined.”
Rover launches forward, grabbing him by the collar, slamming him into the wall. “Shut your mouth.”

Rover launches forward, grabbing him by the collar, slamming him into the wall. “Shut your mouth.”
“I didn’t do it,” Scar says, still too calm. “The ruins did. I just watched.”
He leans forward. Eyes sharp now. “But it showed you something, didn’t it?”
Rover says nothing.

He leans forward. Eyes sharp now. “But it showed you something, didn’t it?”
Rover says nothing.
“Was it good for you?”
“Shut up.”
“Feisty,” tone soft and amused. “That’s how I know it worked.”
Rover tries to stand. His legs barely hold. Every breath is acid. Every nerve still sings with that phantom kiss, the weight of Scar’s hand on his chest, the heat of shame.

“Welcome back,” he murmurs.
Rover stares. His chest heaves. His lips part—but no words come.

"You were mine before you ever hated me."
Rover flinch.
He’s already there.
