Gale had made numerous cuts along his arms, even the trace of two on his wrists before hed covered them up.

|
She saw them in the shine of the fire. Her eyes went wide, searching his. "Gale..." She breathed, lifting his arm to look at it better. "Why..."
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"Don't know, needed to feel.... something." He mutered, staring off into the flames.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"No, baby, this isn't how we feel things." She said, kissing him gently. "Tell me when you feel like this, please. Don't hurt yourself, baby" She said, placing kisses all over his face. "I love you, I don't want you hurting"

|
Gale just nodded, eyes stinging once more before he ignored it.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
She kissed his lips once more. "Promise me you won't do this. It hurts me when you do"
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"I promise.." He muttered, still not looking at her.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
|
| |

|
"I know," Gale confirmed, glancing at her.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
She sighed and nodded, kissing his forehead gently
