Feeling For You, Part 2 (R-18)

I heard her.

Perhaps louder, clearer, than she could have ever expected. 

The way she said it, why she said it, it was like a clearing breeze, a heavy gust sweeping through the cluttered mess in my head, and suddenly it was like I could really think again…

And I thought of myself as even more of a complete bumbling fool for making her have to say it.

Because, really, just what was that request she made? To love her like… someone else? That I should be treating her like someone else… as opposed to… what exactly? 

Did she think Ash was a frame of standard? That, so long as I wasn't treating her the same way,  then it only stands to reason that I didn't care for her as much… always second best… 

Was that how I made her feel? made her think? If that's the case, then I really am a complete, bumbling fool…
