Getting dumped by Maeve on a random Tuesday had to be the worst pain you’d ever experienced in your life.
Scratch that, the hit you just took to the head after some dumbass robber tried to scare off The Seven during a hostage situation? Yeah, that is definitely worse.
Actually no, because now your ex is standing right in front of you and checking the wound on your head like you’re some kind of kicked puppy. It’s unbearable having her this close, acting as if she hadn’t ripped your heart into a million pieces then hard launched her relationship with Homelander not even a week later. The worst part is her fussing over you and touching you like she still has the right, all while pretending she doesn’t remember what you were to each other.
“It could be a concussion..let me get you to a hospital.”Her voice is low and calm, the kind that used to make you feel safe — but now it’s just pissing you off.
She takes your hand before you can protest, feigning indifference but you can tell she remembers: the way her touch lingers just a little too long, how she’s looking anywhere but at you, and how she looks like she’d rather swallow nails than admit out loud that she still cares and wants to talk to you in private.
