    Summary

    you long for someone to get closer, to notice the seams, to peel back the mask. but at the same time you can't bear the thought of anyone seeing you for what you are, because what you are, you've learned after facing enough ridicule for a lifetime, is wrong.

    (or, your name is paul matthews, and you've never been happy.)

    Bookmark Notes:

    "listen, paul." her serious tone makes your heart beat faster. she grabs your hand, holds it tight, perhaps sensing your unease. "i've seen the way you are around other people. i see the way you talk to your coworkers. you don't have to do that around me, alright?"

    "do what?" you thought someone seeing through all your disguises would bring you comfort, but it only makes you more aware of your failures. of the failure that is you. it feels like someone has strung you up naked, the way she looks at you.

    emma sees you. emma sees you. oh god, oh fuck, she sees you.
