Why more ppl should be on Pained bus? The ship name vejaina is reason enogh for Veressa bus >.>
Bodyguard Romance and Devotion tropes! Also Tragic Love.
Pained was assigned to be Jaina's bodyguard during the third war, but then stuck around even though she was free to leave.
TBF I shipped it in vanilla but some of the books don't help.

Me thinking about Tredd in the newest Regisdaughter Seer Luche verse and how he doesn’t think of Luche in any romantic way at first. He respects her of course, her tactics and Sight ensure that he and the others survive. He respects that she can fight and win but that’s it.
She’s still a Lazarus.
She’s still a stranger to him and the others but despite that she is still theirs. Still of Galahd. Still one of them.
And then they notice her becoming more distant. Watch as she becomes more lost in thought and the frown on her brow deepens and neither Tredd nor the others can sit back and lose their Lazarus.
Not after all she’s done for them.
So they start inviting her places. They start seeing her small smiles and smirks again and the first time she laughs with them the table almost stills.
It’s easy to forget sometimes that she is as human as the rest of them.
“You’re cold,” Crowe says once, “Shouldn’t your Furia have warmed you up by now?”
Luche - a little drunk and leaning on Crowe as the other woman plays with Luche’s short hair - goes quiet.
“I don’t have one,” Luche says as her eyes flutter, “Never have.”
“Are you waiting?”
“No,” Luche says, “He wouldn’t want me.”
Something burns in Tredd’s chest. A question that demands an answer. How could he leave you? He wants to ask. How could he let you suffer like this?
For once the questions stay still on his tongue.
He regrets not asking only after she’s gone.

Leo came home after a long shift, a double one and he was so tired but the only thing on his mind right now was his man. Oh how he missed his man, it felt like he hadnt seen him in forever. He walked in to their house “ BABY IM HOME “ he yelled praying that he remembered right ad that Isaiah would be home right now. He put his bag down by the door and took his shoes off by the door before rushing inside “ you home?” he asked looking around for signs of Isaiah being home

also worth noting that "abusive" doesn't actually mean "irredeemable" either.
there's a lot of people that have done things in the past that were bad, because they weren't taught any better, or they were in an overall toxic situation where EVERYONE was shitty (like a cult), or they were just at an especially low point and hurt others for it.
you don't have to forgive them. you don't have to ever speak to them again. you can be angry with them until you die if you want.
but society cannot function if we don't allow them to move on. to change their behavior and fuck off somewhere else and build meaningful relationships without bothering you again. we need a path for people to change, or nothing ever will.

Sorry I'm not low empathy autistic in the "mysterious loner boy who secretly cares about his friends and talks in a monotone voice" way and I'm actually just completely indifferent to the suffering of people I don't know personally and help strangers out of a sense of "this is the right thing to do" and not "I feel so bad for this person" or guilt.
I sit and listen to my friends even though I don't really care about hearing about their problems because I know they'll be upset if I don't, and despite the fact I honestly can't genuinely care about the issue itself, I care about the impact it's having on my friends and that's enough to make me want to help them through it.
Did you know that's actually an expression of empathy all of its own?
It will absolutely happen again I literally am not even sorry
