    "Have you ever-" she started breathlessly, pulling back from a frantic, messy kiss because she figured at this point one of them should.

    Summary

    Conrad remembers exactly how it began.

    It was a few months after he and Belly got back together, when everything was still new and nerve-wracking between them. In some ways, it felt like one long sigh of relief, at least for him. Or maybe it was more like taking in a full chest of breath after spending too long underwater. Either way, there was a learning curve to it all.

    It took some time to remember how to breathe.

    Conrad character study, post-canon, post-reunion.

    Summary

    He deserved to stay in this moment, to feel the crushing silence after disaster. The heaviness in the air. The kind of quiet that comes after sobbing into your pillow, when your body is too tired to cry, when each breath hurts. When the song ends but the vinyl keeps spinning; reeling, searching, for nothing.

    Something.

    They could've been something.

    It was better this way, he was sure of that.

    He didn’t need this… neediness.

    This desperation to melt into someone’s arms.

    Even if it meant Belly never forgiving him.

     

    OR,

    The first time Belly told Conrad she loved him, he didn’t believe her.

    They struggle to find their way back.
