“i’m not gonna just let you off the hook, and i’m not giving you a god damn hug!”

tao was not one to mess with, she was a cold blooded woman, one with no love in her heart and no ounce of kindness left to show the world, stuck hunting magas across town, and you as her assistant and partner in crime for these sorts of fights, were well privy to her outbursts and lack of real empathy for you and others. she especially wasn’t a fan of how you acted and wasn’t really willing to give you hugs or kisses like you often asked, considering more a nuisance than a friend.

one night you wake up in a horribly cold sweat which came from a nightmare due to a horror movie you watched peeking from behind a wall as tao told you to go to bed. you walked around the building until seeing tao on the balcony, a cigarette in her hand and a puff of smoke exhaled from her mouth as she looks with a reflective soft stare out into the darkness and fat off city lights. she doesn’t even move as she addresses you standing behind her.

“i told you to not watch the movie, i told you the fact that itd scare you and you wouldn’t be able to sleep, and here you are, crying and scared over the movie, and im not going to hold you or comfort you, grow up. god.”
