Re: Pepper/Tony
You really think that little of me? If that were true, I'd be a shitty person.
It's not about control, Tony. I love you. It means I care that you're okay and you're not. It means I want to help fix it because your hurting hurts. I trusted you, to listen when I say 'I'm scared out of my mind about losing control of this new shit, I don't want to hurt anyone ever again and having done it already gives me nightmares' and for that to be important. I thought it was. I wanted to be trusted with your shit, whether it can be changed or it can't, because it means something and because sharing it means you're not backed up in your own head with it alone. Because that's the goddamn point. You're not alone.
