Work Text:
She used to be scared when Aiden lost control.
She was so young, and he was so angry.
Sometimes, it feels like they’ve switched places. Aiden’s temper tantrums are childish and destructive, but Jodie is so fucking tired of being hunted that she wants to let him go and burn the whole world down around her. Maybe then, she’ll finally be left alone.
Never alone. Aiden’s presence raises the hair on her arm, cold and constant. He will always be there.
And he will never let anyone else get close enough to hurt her.
These days, that’s all she wants.
