Fics like we were built to fall apart (then fall back together)

It’s two months later when Heather first realises Ray isn’t expecting this to last. It starts small, with Ray seemingly retreating into himself the moment she mentions anything regarding the future. A distant gaze; a hesitant agreement—like telling that old friend you ran into you should totally hang out soon, knowing all too well you weren’t ever going to call. By the time she mentions maybe going on a trip for New Year’s, Ray can barely give her a straight answer at all. If Heather was anyone else, it might have made her a lot more insecure, but eighteen years of living with her own mother taught her one thing: how to be loved without any confirmation; how to find it when you’re starved for it, when you don’t know where else to get it; how to scavenge for it between harsh words and rough touches.
