AN: Was cleaning up my computer and came across an old idea for a ROMY drabble series. Only got as far as the first chapter. Thought Iwould post it anyways.
Leather
It was so subtle I barely noticed. The brush of his glove across my exposed skin was soft and smooth. I leaned slightly into his touch before catching myself. This had become the lasted game for him to play.
Whenever we are together he finds a way to touch me. A slight brush across the back of my neck. A soft caress across my wrist in the place my glove doesn't quite meet my sleeve. It was as if he was slowly mapping all the cracks in my armor. Carefully tracing all my week points with those damn soft leather covered fingers.
I hated it.
Just like I hated the thoughtful expression he wore when it happened. The only thing I hated more was the disappoint that always followed and guilt that would arise within me.
It wasn't fair. I can't change it.
The gloved hand on my cheek felt warm. The longer it lingers the less I wish for it to leave. Maybe his touch isn't so bad. Leather is similar to skin in some ways. Maybe just this once I won't push him away.
