It was stupid to be this nervous. Right? Ward felt very much like he was going to throw up as he headed down the path from his apartment to the gym. He'd initiated this. He'd said he wanted to talk. But everything in his body was screaming at him to turn tail and run, head in the opposite direction and sit this one out, because it could only end badly. Things like this only ever ended badly. Except when they didn't. But that was rare, freak occurrences, and his pattern was failure. He shouldn't look to those small occasions where things had gone right for any hope of what would happen here.
But he was. He so was. Clinging onto the thought of the last time he and May had had a really serious talk, one that had ended up with the two of them agreeing that they cared and that they would give things a try, even if there were no promises that could be made considering their circumstances. But quite frankly, Ward was sick of that hanging over his head. Sick of the future haunting the two of them, daring to tear them apart at any second, and even if he was so goddamn scared of what he would become because of it, he couldn't see how it could change anything that he felt.
Finally making it to the gym, Ward took one slowly, collecting, breath before stepping inside, glancing around slowly before spotting Melinda and making his way over to her. It was a bold move, considering they'd just fought, but as he stepped in behind her, Ward wrapped his arms around her shoulders and sighed, "I'm a colossal idiot."
