Fics like The red that won’t wash away

"You don't have to", he assures, like he always does. You don't have to fight for me, you already did when you stood up to your mom to get her to agree to our sleepovers. You don't have to protect me, you already do whenever you hold my hands as we walk through town, go to class, cross the street. Even when the danger is a stranger's stare, and even when I'm past the point where I give a fuck about them. You don't have to save me, you already do whenever you smile. "I want to, though. And it's my choice", he replies, earnest and sure of himself like he so rarely is these days. And Alex knows him well enough to understand the undertones; It's my choice, and I already have so few of those, with my mom micromanaging everything I do. It's my choice, like it was when we became friends in kindergarten and I decided we'd be together forever. It's my choice, loving you is always my choice. “I’ll be fine. We'll be fine”, he promises, like the last nail in a coffin.
