#i love adding new woodland spaces to my little love list #(it is not a little list) #but i don't find safety anywhere like i do in the woods #i mean. i've been heavily observed by a bear and all sorts but #in the sense of- there are no obligations in the woods #the life of me is as . i don't know.. just in situ!! it's as gently existent as everything- and boy is there a lot of everything- #around me #there are no people there are no expectations there's no mirroring of the face or tone checking in my voice #my life isn't being put up against anything #i'm just there #and everything else is there too #and we're all just fucking there #i know that i'm alive when i'm in the woods #and it's undeniable that i am surrounded and enveloped by it likewise #that we are all part of this extensive energy chain #i find a lot of comfort and comradery in the whole thing #woods!!!! can't wait to go back tomorrow!!! #my photos #nature #mushrooms #fungi #autumn

Burn it down :

You were in shock. In pure shock.

The screams reached your ears but you didn't pay attention to it.

- John, stop. - You whisper.

You're running through the mob of scared people to reach the street, but a man in the crowd catch your arm.

- Don't take advantage of the situ...

He turned to ashes before he could finish his sentence.

You wipe the blood from your face and start running like crazy.

- For fuck's sake, stop !

You yell even if you know it's useless. He will hear you anyway.

At the second you're in an empty street, Homelander lands in front of you.

- Sweetheart  are you okay ?

He wipes your face with his gloved hands. He sounds so worried and concerned. As if he didn't just killed a few moments ago.

- I'm fine. Why did you do that ?

He looks at you as if you slapped him.

- Why ?

You nod, waiting an answer.

- You saw what they did to you ? You heard what they said ? They insulted you. They threatened you.

He balls his hand into a fist and bites it. He takes a step closer to you.

- No one does that. You...

- They're angry. You think that was the first time ? There's always angry people when measures like that are taken.

You don't have an easy job. It's not rare that your boss makes the decision of letting go some of their employees. You've just been lucky until now.

- I don't care. You're mine. I don't care who they are.

You let out an angry sigh.

- You can't do that. You can't solve every problems like that.

- You know me. - He said with a firm voice.

- I do. Why are you saying that ?

- I told you right away what would happen to anyone who would hurt you in any way. Why are you acting so surprised ?

As crazy as it sounds, he has a point. He did tell you. And you believed him. But you thought that it would only be in case you were in real danger.

- I want to go home. - You say plainly.

He carries you softly and takes you home.

- You need a bath.

He kisses your cheek ang go to the bathroom. You take of your clothes while the water is running.

You join him and he helps you getting in the tub.

- Has anyone saw you ? - You ask quietly.

- No. They won't know what it was.

- Except Vought.

- I'll deal with them.

He takes off his gloves and gently washes your face. He's so gentle that it makes you sigh of pleasure.

- I'm sorry if I scared you.

He sounds like a little boy. You know he's not sorry for killing those people. And he'll never be. He just wanted to protect you. It's one of his twisted way to show you how much he loves you.

- Please, next time let me try to deal with ut before acting this way.

He doesn't respond.

- John ?

- I can't..

You're about to speak but he cuts you off.

- I can't take the risk that anything happens to you. You can't ask me that.

- But you can't kill anyone who's unhappy with me. Someone angry is not necessarily dangerous.

- Darling. I'll burn the whole world if I have to. I'll never take a chance when your safety is concerned. I love you too much. I.. Fuck.

He bows his head and inhales sharply.

- Okay. Okay, I won't ask you that.

You turn to him and take his face in your hand.

- You're not in my place. You're human. You can be hurt. You can be killed. Just like that.

- I know. It's fine, baby.

He's overreacting, but wouldn't you uf you were him ? Wouldn't you be so scared of losing him all the time ?

- I love you too, my baby. More than anything.

He leans into your touch and closes his eyes.

- Thank you for protecting me. Even though I was scared today, I never felt so safe in my entire life. And that's all thanks to you.

He growls deeply at your praise.

- Keep washing me, baby. Then I'll take good care of you.

He smiles brightly at you and complies.
