"I know I'm not perfect... and I make mistakes... I know that I have let you down... but you love me the same." ~ The Afters
"Look, I–"
"Terra, stop."
"But I– !"
"I said stop!" Ven whirled on his friend, his face set in a firm expression. "I thought I told you not to worry about it!"
"Ven, please just hear me out," Terra said tiredly. Sighing, Ven leaned back a bit and stared up at the man. "Look," Terra continued, "I just want to apologize. I... I really messed up, and I... I know that there's nothing I can say that'll fix the damage I caused." Cringing, he hugged his arms around himself. "But I'm sorry."
Reaching up, Ven gripped him friend's shoulder, looking irritated. "We don't blame you, okay? When are you going to get that through your head?" He chuckled a bit at the last statement. Terra cracked a smile.
"I know," he muttered. "Apologizing just helps me forgive myself, I guess."
"You have nothing to apologize for..."
"I have everything to apologize for!" Terra snapped. Ven shook his head. This was going to take a while.
