Just something that I thought of while reading another fic today. Enjoy!

Unspoken Words
Words spoken to dig through someone's skin hurt terribly.
When she insulted him, she did it to get a rise out of him. She wanted him to feel pain, like needles pricking his skin. Whenever she called him an idiot, or yelled at him for leaving a mess, she wanted him to feel the words cutting him.
He knew what she was doing. He had figured it out after their many arguments and how much she insulted him. He realized that she was trying to get him to hurt because she was just that masochistic.
He would fire back at her sometimes, if he was in the mood for a good fight. He hoped that his words dug under her skin and burned her. He wanted her to suffer with an itch she couldn't scratch. He wanted her to squirm with discomfort at the fact that when he said his words, he meant them.
But then, there were the times when he had enough, when he wanted things to go back to normal. He wanted her pricking to end.
She would insult him, and he would remain silent. He would stare her down, waiting for her to end. She would glare at him, waiting for his retort that would undoubtedly crawl into her bloodstream, forever remaining their until they decided to make up.
But, he would say nothing. He would simply shake his head at her and turn away. He keep quiet and walk away.
Words unspoken to stab like a dagger to the heart…they hurt the worst.
It was funny how it worked that way. She could call him a dumbass one day, and then the next they would forget about it and make up. But if they fought and he said nothing, she found it hard to face him and their tense silence encompassed them for days on end.
Actions speak louder than words…but unspoken words are deadly.
So I have decided to make these into angsty one-shots. They'll all be relatively short. I haven't written anything for a while, and today it just hit me to start writing.
I'm still working on Only A Dream but progress is slow. I'm also working on a new story for a special friend of mine that will be coming out shortly.
Thanks for reading and review please!
