Darcy still didn't quite know what to think. She realized now telling him over text was probably not the way to do it since she had no way of telling what he was feeling through it. But she knew Bruce, she couldn't understand that he wouldn't like the tattoo, but something about the way he told her to come home made her fidgety in the elevator to their apartment. When she finally got there she steeled her self with one final breath, telling herself to 'pull it together, it's just Bruce' before she opened the door, dropping her keys and the little bag that held her ointment and instruction booklet on the table next to the door, calling out after a moment, "Bruce? You still here?"

	It took her a moment to realize he wasn't there anymore, blinking as she stared up to him and his words processed slowly. She shook her head, trying to catch her breath, "M'okay." She mumbled, fingertips grasping toward his forearms. "I'm fine, please don't look like that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bruce just stood there, frozen in place as the animalistic raw side was subdued by his own self doubt. He had let himself get carried away and hurt her - that's all there was. "Shit. Fuck. I'm sorry, Darce. I'm ... a monster." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Darcy sat up, her hands on either side of his face. "You're not Bruce, no." she kissed his cheek and his jaw, thumbs brushing back and forth along his cheekbones. "You're not. I'm okay, I felt good Bruce." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He didn't react to his touch, shoulders hunched as he was consumed by his mistakes. "I can't." he choked out, "I can't hurt you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She moved her hands, one on the side of the neck, the other on his shoulder, trying to straighten him up and get him to look at her again. "I'm not hurt, I'm okay Bruce. I'm not hurt." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He shook his head, grunting at her attempt at placating him. Bruce shrugged her off, making his clothes straight again. "I... I have to get out of here. I'm sorry." he pulled away from her and headed for the door. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Darcy's face fell, sliding off the table carefully. Her hair was a mess, skirt still bunched around her waist, bandage hanging half off and she didn't even bother trying to salvage her shirt but she was ready to follow him anyway. "Why? Where are you going?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	not_theotherguy 2014-01-04 01:06 am UTC (link)
	"Hospital." He muttered. Bruce had to find a way to get this monster out of him, to be better for her. "I'll be back in a while." he didn't say another word. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Please." she sighed watching him go with one arm across her chest and the other trying to smooth her skirt down. "This hurts way more." she mumbled, not even sure he could still hear her-or wanted to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He stopped by the door with her last four words. A battle raged inside Bruce as he pressed his forehead to the closed door. "My Dad was an abusive fuck," he muttered, "He hurt my mother more times than I ever knew or wanted to know." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Darcy froze for a moment, chewing on her lip before tentatively walking toward him, laying a hand between his shoulder blades lightly. "You're not like that Bruce, I know you're not." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He stiffened at the hand on his back, "You don't know that. Hell, I don't even know that." he said tersely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You didn't want to hurt me." she mumbled, dropping her hand when it didn't seem to help, wrapping both arms around herself to cover as much skin as she could. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He didn't want her to see his tears and slipped away from her quickly to atone for his sins. Bruce padded to their bedroom and retrieved her favourite robe, holding it out to her silently as an offering of apology. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Darcy frowned a little as he slipped away from her, reaching down to try and press the bandage back on to her leg, wondering now if she should have done it at all. When he showed back up with the robe she mumbled a soft thanks and pulled it on, tying it as tightly and as fully closed as she could. "I'm okay." she murmured again, looking at her feet.

	"No you're not." Bruce knew Darcy and the girl he knew didn't try and cover herself so tightly. He felt shame bubble up inside him hot and hard. "I can't... I need to be on my own. I lost control and I can't do that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I am Bruce, I was enjoying it. I would have stopped you if I wasn't." she told him, her voice sounding far more emotional than she wished. She sighed softly and nodded, wrapping her arms around her middle and stepping away from the door, toward their room. "Where's Jacob and when do I need to get him?" she asked softly.

	He didn't believe her. "The babysitter's dropping him off tomorrow morning." Bruce swallowed, "I'm sorry Darce." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yesidid 2014-01-04 02:07 am UTC (link)
	"I'm not." she told him before nodding again. "Will you be back by then?" She wasn't sure if she'd be able to answer Jacob's questions if he wasn't but she'd try if she had to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"New Year's Day." he ran a hand through his hair, trying to keep the monster at bay inside him. Hulk was threatening at his brain and being around Darcy wasn't helping. "Tell him Dad had emergency science to do." he wrenched open the front door and walked out before she could pout and stop him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Darcy sighed, her fingertips resting against the door after he'd gone for a moment, her grip finally loosening from the robe now that she wasn't trying to keep the bruises and bite marks out of his view. Her mind wandered a bit as he walked toward the shower, she'd been hoping for her first real New Years kiss but supposed that could wait one more year if it was what he needed. She turned the water hot as she could stand and got as clean as she could before donning one of his shirts and curling up in the bed, falling asleep only moments later.
