apology. [hanna]
“R-Right. Okay.”
“Wait, I um—thank you. I mean it.”
If there was a non-crappy hospital in Hive City, one where they actually cared about the patients, that was where Hanna would end up if Wocky told someone—they’d just want to investigate, they’d want an explanation, they’d want to know how the hell he was still alive and moving, and Hanna couldn’t exactly explain any of that. And that’s just if Wocky told an authority figure—what about Lynne, or Lightning, or—?
It just would’ve been even worse. They would demand to see his scar and demand he tell them what was up and what happened to him and he couldn’t do that, he really couldn’t. They’d get all worried about him, and without even a good reason! He didn’t need something like that. They were supposed to be HAPPY.
Maybe Wocky understood the feeling. Maybe he had… some kinda scar too, which he didn’t want people to worry about. Probably not one that was still open like that, though, but… well, it wasn’t Hanna’s place to ask about, was it?
“I didn’t mean to freak out at you… uh. Bye.”
He’d already been leaving, walking a fair distance away from Hanna when he heard him talk again.
“Wait, I um—thank you. I mean it.”
Sincere words, coming from someone whom he’d been threatening not too long ago. He hadn’t expected them really, didn’t exactly deserve them. After all, they were just keeping each other’s secrets, weren’t they? They both had their reasons for not wanting to share the explanations behind the strange things they had on their chests. Both knew there were implications to face if others found out, although Hanna’s were far more serious than Wocky’s were.
Still, it was kind of nice to hear. They weren’t the sort of words Wocky heard often.

“Right right, ain’t no thing!”
He gave him a small wave of the hand and he was off, simple as that. Perhaps some other day, they’d be able to share their stories. For now, they had no need to.
