Fics like though I can't recall your face, I still got love for you

You open your front door and nearly close it just as quickly. But shock stops you, and something cruel and embarrassing and curious, so you leave it open but block any opening with your body. You know he could get past you easily, he’s grown and put on muscle since you first met him, but you also know he would never force himself on you in any way. Some things don’t change, no matter how much time passes and where people end up. “Hi.” Jamie finally whispers, his eyes bouncing around your face and down your body without shame. He hasn’t seen you in years, you realize. He has no idea how you’ve grown or what you’ve been doing, he had no idea what you looked like anymore until you opened your door. You, on the other hand, have seen his face splashed across every television and magazine and newspaper for years, so you’ve never had the luxury to be curious about that. You stare at him, hoping that your face is as hard and unforgiving as you’ve felt all these years. How dare he just show up at your apartment, after all this time and after what he did, and just say Hi. There was a time you would have found that endearing, but now you just feel nothing. “What do you want?”
