funny?

how so?

that’s not…that’s not what happened.

well, bruce can’t apologize if jeremiah won’t see him.

they’ve got flowers. and makeup.

no, that’s not…

so he…isn’t upset..?

…hm. he’s on his way

some time later, there’s a few knocks.

truth be told, bruce hasn’t even noticed he’s cold, not until the blanket is on him. then he’s uncomfortably aware of how much he’s shivering. “jeremiah…”

swallowing, bruce followed her into the building, and his gut twisted at the changes. to similar to- to home. too similar for a place like this, with unpleasant memories attached.

in a way, bruce needed it too. it was just the conflicting memories, emotions… in a haze, he obeyed. sat. “…jeremiah…”

“…I apologize for not reaching out lately. I don’t have a good excuse. but I didn’t intend to make you feel unwanted.” reaching to pick up the mug. it was hot enough that it hurt his fingers, but he’d had worse.

🤨
