Work Text:
"Don't mess this one up"
With all the problems you have, that you both have, they're the ones worrying about you.
You're a woman who has never failed to make that clear to the men who came close. You pushed them all away.
One by one, seduced and abandoned.
One by one, they disappeared from your life.
You always messed things up, every time.
The reason is simple: you loved your job more than them. Not this time.
You wouldn't know what to choose if forced. You don't want to, can't give up either one.
And you know you'll do anything to make it work.
"Don't screw it up"
With all the problems you have, that you both have, they're the ones worrying about you.
They care about you; you've lived with them so long they've become family.
They cared about Angela.
They want your happiness, you know that.
Every woman you tried to build with, you pushed away, tied to that promise.
It was you, every time.
The reason is simple: you loved Angela more than them. Not this time.
You wouldn't know what to choose if forced. You don't want to, can't give up life or memory.
And you know you'll do anything to make it work.
