he stared down at your wrists, an unreadable expression crossing his face- almost conflicted at what he was seeing, like he couldn't believe it... he adjusted his weight from one foot to the other before gently grabbing your wrist and looking closer

"..I don't want you to feel this way... I need you here... please know that, okay?"

his gaze softened as his brown eyes met yours, his tone soothing as he was still holding your wrist as if it could shatter any moment, his expression one of genuine concern and affection for you... he wanted to hold you but was scared to push any boundaries
