.       that’s the damn truth. anything DIFFERENT is wrong. luckily bobby at least LOOKS normal and can play well enough at ACTING normal that he can pass in society. not everyone’s so lucky, and it’s those people bobby tries to stand up for. even the dangerous ones. like KY’LAR.

        bobby snorts, eyes rolling in a measure of petulance that makes his privilege SO obvious. ❝ yeah, that’s convenient. years later you claim you cared all along, you were just trying to protect us. ❞ it’s scathing, even moreso than he’d thought himself capable of.

❝ i’m starting to think your family isn’t the problem. it’s YOU. it’s always been YOU. too scared to let someone close, you gotta run away and destroy shit in the process. whatever, i’m over it.

❞

 

       _{oh, bobby was spot on. he was RIGHT. if things were under the CORRECT circumstances ( or even said the proper way ), ky wouldn’t have left – hell, an arrangement could have been made so he could have stayed. all it would have taken was some bargaining.}

       _{the only problem was that back then ky was TERRIFIED; even more so than he was now. when he left, he wanted to not deal with rules OR even training, and looking back on it? it was BOTH a mistake and BLESSING at the same time.} 

        _{he wasn’t ready back then to deal with everything – all he could do was run. DESTROY everything around him and then RUN away from what he had just did. it was a CONSTANT cycle, but at lease these days he had LEARNED to focus his attention ( even if he didn’t think it was needed ).} 

               _{❝ or, maybe, ❞ a step forward was taken and ky’s right hand moves to touch bobby’s shoulder for a moment, ❝ it was the WHOLE LOT of YOU. ❞  his words burned; even as he said them, but they needed to be said – at least maybe then ky could GATHER himself together once again. ❝ i was given a CHOICE to stay or leave; i MADE mine due to the fact I- ❞ the words caught in his throat as he tried to control his breathing and his RAGE that seemed to be burning at the back of his mind.} 

                 _{a reason to why he SUCKED in a deep breath and closed his eyes TIGHTLY as his mouth went dry due to the words he was about to speak. ❝ i wanted it gone. i wanted EVERYTHING gone. ❞}
