[Abel's words sting, digging deeply into Deimos as he wrings the handkerchief tight. He frowns hard at the words being spoken to him. The truth is there, plainly laid out in front of him and Abel won't let him worm his way out of responsibility in acknowledging the truth. Abel's too good with his words to let him go that easily, and much too kind of a person to simply believe that Deimos has shared all his pain. Deimos realizes this and can't help but flinch.]
Fuck. [The curse is soft- audible only because it's the two of them talking face to face.] You're right.
[His whole body eases up from the tension he'd been holding onto, relaxing into the couch. It won't do him any good to see himself as the victim here. They're all victims in their own ways after all.
He opens his mouth to say something and nothing comes out. Instead a steady stream of tears paints his face. He may have been honest with Abel about what happened back then with why he'd outed Cain as a liar. Even more honest with Cain about coming back to help them. Though he told Abel of his initial hurt, he really hasn't opened up to the Reliant duo about his fears of returning home. He hadn't even begun to consider that Cain may have felt responsible for the actions he's taken. The last thing he wants is a rift in their friendship over assumed feelings.
Abel's right. The sooner they talk, the sooner they can rightfully see each other taking ownership for the things that happened, the sooner they can let go of this resentment and pain. The sooner he'll stop feeling sorry for himself and stop dreading something that may never happen.

Somehow Abel's figured him out, yet again.]
Fuck.
