“That’s it, isn’t it? You don’t want to like a Grisha.”

“I do like you.”

The aching his lungs was unbearable. He needed to tell her...what? That she was lovely and brave and better than anything he deserved. That he was twisted, crooked, wrong, but not so broken that he couldn’t pull himself together into some semblance of a man for her. That without meaning to, he began to lean on her, to look for her, to need her near. He needed to thank her for his new hat.

GOOOOO MATTHIAAASSS
