[OOC: hitman + issues x baggage = good luck, tagger!]

/much love right back for you and Jase, bb <33

[buticlosemyeyes]

Yeah. [Was all she managed, eyes firmly shut because it took every last ounce of control she had not to bolt out that door and she wasn't sure she could handle looking at him right now. Especially if she was facing rejection.]

Since we were partners, I think.

[killsonthe_sly]

That's... years, Anna... [she's been with him for a long time. And that was even without them being - shit. He looked at her, his hands remaining on her as he kept her close.

Anna was a brave woman, never bolted from anything - but this. She was still a woman he reminded himself, even if she were an agent and his friend...]

I'm not.. exactly your type o' guy. [and he meant his lifestyle, his choices right now...] Or did ya forget that?

[buticlosemyeyes]

I know. [And she would never bring up just how much his marriage had made her heart ache, back in the day. But if anything, she had gotten good at ignoring her feelings and compartmentalizing. And right now, she really, really wanted to run out that door and pretend this never happened.]

I don't think it ever mattered to me.

sorry - rl caught me!

[killsonthe_sly]

[he had been thinking along the same. Shit] I been hurtin' you, then? Thanks. I feel.. great, knowing - we were friends, Anna! I told you shit I could never say to Sophia...

no worries! i totally understand!

[buticlosemyeyes]

No. I mean, I think a little but nothin' I couldn't handle. I-- I buried it after you got married.

[She could understand his frustration and other emotions. She didn't blame him. But out of instinct, she stepped back when he raised his voice. It was something she did without realizing, and she'd told him about her rape so as her partner back in the day, he'd understand when she flinched.]

I'm sorry if you feel betrayed. I didn't mean to--

[killsonthe_sly]

Anna -- I'm sorry. [he hadn't known, but still - he knew she had issues about this. Yeah, trust was a big thing to him - but to say 'betrayed' was...] You didn't. I guess I just.. I'm trying to get my head straight about it, ya know?

..Why tell me? Why now? [he took a step towards her, hands lifting. Slow so she could see he wouldn't hurt her. Even if she knew - slow, careful. He always felt like he had to with her sometimes.. until she told him to stop. Don't treat her any different. Now it felt the opposite, like he had to.

He rubbed gently along her arms, hands spanning to her back as he drew her close, intending to just hold her]

[buticlosemyeyes]

[Anna sighed heavily when he held her close, burying her face in his neck and trying to stop trembling so much from nerves.]

Because you came home. And I-- I don't think I can bury it anymore. I don't want you to leave again.

so sad bbs...T-T;

[killsonthe_sly]

...I won't be here long? [as soon as he's said it, Jase rolls his eyes. Like that'd help. He knew better. But he sort of.. can't really get around the fact it's Anna expressing this in his head. She's not like other women. Ones who could take that, or make an excuse up in their heads just to explain why he didn't call, or come back. It was why he generally avoided it - But - fuck]

...And, I'll be comin' back. [it's the truth. He would. On a job. Because even though he cared for her and he knew what this meant to her - to promise, to commit himself even to spare her pain.. he couldn't. He wasn't that man anymore]

ikr? she always falls for the untouchable men. story of her life.

[buticlosemyeyes]

[Deep down, she knew he would be leaving again. Whatever his new line of work was kept him bouncing around from place to place. And if it made him happy, she would never think of asking him to stay just for her. It had been the reason she and Matteo never got married. Because she wouldn't leave New York and refused to ask him to stay. It was just her way.

And she could let him go. Eventually. Because that was the story of her life; letting go of the men she loved.]

waaaah - keep at him, Anna [/thinks she's wonderful >333]

[killsonthe_sly]

Hey. [he gently cupped her chin, tipping her face up to meet his eyes directly. Like he's accustomed to, like she always does]

Thank you. [it meant something.. her feeling this. Because he thought she was amazing, always had. That's just - never gone away. He respects and admires her, her strength and her heart]

awww thanks, bb! you're both wonderful too! /thinks these two need a verse

[buticlosemyeyes]

When are you leavin'? [The 'thank you' caught her by surprise and she blushed faintly, finding it hard to hold the eye contact now that she'd become so vulnerable with him in this moment.]

already do, methinks >3 [you knooow you can hit us up with anything!]

[killsonthe_sly]

...Tomorrow. [unapologetic, but maybe a little... quieter than he usually would have said it. But there it was]

Job can't wait. [not for her, him, or anyone else]

careful, i might. ;)

[buticlosemyeyes]

[And that must have been why she was so compelled to tell him everything. Because he was leaving and somehow she could sense it. Sooner than she'd hoped, but that was life.]

I understand. I should let you go-- you need to rest.

[killsonthe_sly]

[he smiles] M'awake now.. last drink? [together, sort of a send off, he thought. For now]

[buticlosemyeyes]

[Before she could stop herself, she was agreeing. And considering the current emotional state she was in? It might not be wise.]

Sure.
