Seth gave a little smile at Macy's response he gave a little shake of his head at her comment about Noah, "Maybe not physically Macy," just to spark Noah anger again he reached up to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. Not forgetting how she sometimes retracted from contact he shot his hand back as if he "caught" himself, "Sorry, but what I mean is, you don't deserve to be screamed at for accompanying a friend to said friend's father's funeral." He turned back to face Noah with that stern expression.
At Noah's next comments Seth had to take a couple of deep breaths and stretched and clenched his fists in an attempt to relax. "Well I often saw my father do the same to my mother when the press tried to hound her about my father or me. So you can't blame me for doing the same thing. And if you're implying that I'm a bad man, I'll tell you I have never screamed at her in the manner that you are right now, and I would never hurt her. I want her to be happy, her happiness is the most important thing to me. I love her and I know she doesn't feel that way towards me, but I can accept that and even though it kills me to just be friends with her, she's such an amazing person I'd rather just be her friend than not have her in my life at all." He took a deep breath, "And about me coming all over myself, I'm at my fucking father's funeral and I might be feeling a bit vulnerable and want to hold my friend's hand. Unlike you any contact with a woman doesn't make my thoughts go immediately to the gutter."
