I've Gone Mad - Johnathon's Haven

"She said the cost of your release was that I bring her Griselda "

She shook her head.

"She released me broken. She wanted to break me."

Johnathon picked her up and cradled the little nos. "I'll put you back together "

She nodded. She felt so fragile in his arms, but she was starting to feel safe again.

"I love you razor. Without condition. "

"I love you so much. I'm so sorry I lied."

"About what? What did you lie about?"

"I never asked Porter about you. I never had permission."

"Damnit razor... Ok. One thing at a time. Tonight we just put you back together"

She cringed from his curse, waiting for worse. Waiting for the other shoe to drop.

This was not the Raz0r he knew. This was something broken. Definitely.

"My poor broken goddess. I'll put you all back though. "

She nodded.

"Thank you. For not leaving me."

"Won't ever leave you Colorburst. Ever. Just rest ok, tonight is just for you to rest in my arms. "

She curled in close. Needing to be held. Still not sure she deserved it.

Johnathon stroked her hair and spoke softly. "Tell me about porter. What he said. "

"He doesn't want me anymore."

Carefully, Johnathon pulled Raz0r even closer to him, and kissed her softly. "Because of who I am?"

She shook her head.

"Because I couldn't be faithful."

He sighed and stroked Raz0r's hair some.

"Not everyone can understand a person might love several people for different reasons. I'll go speak with him after things settle down a bit. I'm sorry Raz0r love, I really am."

She was shuddering again. Crying without the tears. This....not the best week ever.

Johnathon kissed her forehead and gently rocked her.

"Just let it all out love. I'm here for you, I promise."

She would spend the rest of the night like that until she finally fell asleep in his arms.

They woke up together the next night sitting in an overstuffed leather chair, with Raz0r still tucked carefully into his arms.
