Sorry I haven’t been writing much. I promise I don’t plan on abandoning this blog. I’ve just lost a lot of motivation to write since I’m a little afraid of receiving anon hate and that I don’t write well enough. I’m also really busy so it’s just a lot. Sorry guys I promise I’m not dead.
Steven:
To say Steven was mortified would be a severe understatement.
“I promise I’m fine Klaus. No one hurt me. I just accidentally….tripped?” you did your best to reassure Klaus. However, he still didn’t seem too convinced.
It had been a complete accident that you had revealed the array of bruises on your neck that a certain someone had left with his mouth. Of course Zapp just had to point out the hickey that was peeking out from beneath your scarf which only lead to revealing several other bruises beneath the cloth. Klaus nearly had a heart attack from sheer concern.
Although everyone else in the room knew exactly what those marks meant. Everyone was pointedly not making eye contact with your or Steven. No one dares to say anything about it, knowing fully well that they’d find themselves ‘accidentally’ frozen to death if they spoke one word. Zapp, however, was grinning widely at how uncomfortable you and Steven were at the moment along with everyone else who was dragged into the situation. There was no doubt that the asshole was going to tease the hell out of the two of you any chance he had once Klaus was gone.
“I’m going to get some coffee,” Steven spoke up, no longer able to bear the awkwardness that had filled the room. Standing up, he hurriedly left the room, not daring to spare a glance in your direction.
Once in the base’s kitchen, he grabbed a mug from the cupboard and absentmindedly began brewing coffee.
“Do you think she’s lying?”
Steven nearly dropped his mug, not hearing Klaus enter the room. The poor man clutched at his heart, not ready for the sudden surprise.
“What?” Steven cleared his throat, setting the mug down on the counter before he managed to break it.
“Do you think [Name] is lying about falling? Do you think she’s too scared to tell us someone is hurting her?” Klaus questioned, genuinely worried about your safety.
Steven wanted to die at the moment. The last thing he wanted was to explain to his closest friend and boss that he was the person responsible for those bruises on your neck. He is going to kill Zapp if the male decides to explain what a hickey is to Klaus.
“No, I don’t think so,” Steven hated the way his voice sounded. “She can be pretty clumsy at times,” he continued to explain, having a hard time meeting Klaus’ eyes.
“Well I trust your judgement. I know she’d come to you at least if anyone was hurting her,” Klaus said, nodding his head before leaving the man alone with his thoughts.
Steven was going to make Zapp suffer.
