Fics like For The Better

Caleb had learned the hard way not to let anyone too close, to keep the ruined remnants of his heart locked up tight and away from anyone else he might hurt. It was easy, in a twisted way, when so little of the world even bothered to notice him at all. Except for when Nott broke the rule and stayed. Except for when the Mighty Nein didn't drive him away even after they knew what he'd done. Except for when Mollymauk hovered beside him, present but refusing to push. Caught between the want to reach out and the knowledge it was better not to, Caleb couldn't do much but hover, flinching away and leaning in simultaneously until it all, inevitably, goes up in smoke again. ~~~ Alternatively: Five times Caleb refused to let the Mighty Nein too close, and one time he finally dared to let down his guard.
