What? No, that's not what I've said.

[She frowns, now worried about him as she fidgets with that chopstick, the trick forgotten.]

I just have a hard time imagining you doing this forever.

[Putting down the chopstick on the table, Kate's chair screeches as she suddenly turns it to look at Alfred more pointedly.

She reaches out, putting a hand on his arm.]


Hey, that's not what I meant. You know I don't look down on you. What - What you've done is impressive, Alfred.

[She looks shocked at him after her pulls his arm away like that.]

I didn't give you a look!

[Kate sinks back on her chair, aware that there's no point in arguing.]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. [She takes a deep breath.] You know I care about you, don't you? And I look up to you in many ways, you're a pretty inspiring guy, Alfie.

That's so unfair! You're putting words in my mouth. I never said that and I definitely don't feel that way.

[She huffs, worry turning little by little into anger too.]

.... How would I know! I - I guess? I'm not good at planning ahead like that, Alfred. All I know is that I wanna help people.

I don't know, that's why I asked!

Fine! It was a shitty thing to say, but I didn't mean it and I already said I'm sorry.

[getting off the chair, she starts gathering the leftovers and taking them to the kitchen.]

How am I a brat now? Because I apologized but you're still mad?

[She pretty much slams the door of the fridge shut, making a startled Lucky raise his head and turn it towards the kitchen.]
hawk_shot: (gasp)

[personal profile] hawk_shot 2025-03-05 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not pretending my apology is more important! But what else do you want me to do? Cry and get on my knees to--

[But she notices it. The second she turns around to keep yelling at him, she notices the way Alfred leans his weight onto the table.

Without thinking it twice, she comes to him, holding his shoulders in the hopes that will steady him. Only then does she notice how pale he is looking.]


Hey, you okay? Why don't you sit down a second?

[personal profile] hawk_shot 2025-03-05 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
Hey...

[The second his head sags, Kate cups his cheek and pulls him towards her, letting Alfred rest his head on her shoulder. But she notices that look first. She embraces him, making sure he feels supported.]

I really am sorry, I never meant to hurt you. And I'll try to listen, I promise.

[personal profile] hawk_shot 2025-03-05 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
[For a moment she says nothing, just shakes her head and buries her face on his shoulder as they hold each other.]

I don't know what will happen in the future, but the one thing I know for sure is that I wanna keep working with you.

[Or at least, having him in her life.]

[One of her hands, with her fingers spread, moves up his spine. But she is careful of not touching too close to the wound. She moves head head, her cheek touching Alfred's.]

You're one of my few friends here. A real one.

[But she's just that. He doesn't let her get anywhere closer.]

C'mon, you should lay down.
