I know some things should just stay broken

i'm well aware this should remain unspoken

Sterling was, admittedly, hardly prepared for the outburst he received from his ex at his insistence that Henry heal the wounds that afflicted his figure. A small frown crossed his features, the Warlock's bright blue eyes wholly focused upon his ex as Henry expressed his emotions and all the things he wished he could have changed. Slowly, his brow rose as Henry insisted he had given him all of him - how was Henry so damn ignorant of his own actions? It baffled him how little his ex must have remembered to think that. His head shook ever so slightly though he offered little in way of response, at least not yet. This, he was certain, was hardly a conversation to be had when each breath that left his ex's lips would have surely caused him a fair amount of agony. That olive branch he was offered was turned down, Sterling entirely stubborn in this as he insisted, with arms crossed over chest, that he'd eat only if Henry healed himself. That audible sigh upon Henry's lips only furthered that frown upon Sterling's features as he listened to Henry's insistence on how much it hurt to lose Sterling. A part of him was, admittedly, surprised that Henry had even cared, or at least hadn't used it as an excuse to fall back into his bad habits of drugs, drinking, and fucking anything that moved.

His tongue ran over his lips in silent consideration as he watched the bruises upon his ex's skin slowly fade away to nothing, the man apparently giving into Sterling's stubborn request. "Henry..." He started softly, his gaze fluttering to the floor as he sighed softly. Admittedly he had been...avoiding this conversation, if only because of how much Henry continually failed to understand. "You don't listen." He muttered with a soft shake of his head before his gaze turned back upwards to the man in front of him. "I'm not upset about the hospital or...you turning into a panther or...anything like that. I'm upset because you slept with her...twice. I'd been trying to get you to sleep with me for months and you slept with her without even hesitating. God, you couldn't even so much as look at me before you healed me, how many times did you tell me I wasn't ready?! But her...?" His gaze turned from his ex as Sterling tried to keep those emotions at bay before he continued again, softer, "You didn't offer me everything, so don't say you did. I offered you everything. I waited for you to be ready. I was loyal to you. I forgave everything and you fucked her the second I was gone. Normal people don't grieve by having sex with someone, Henry." He paused again, his gaze turning away in frustration before his grip upon his arms slowly shifted, the Warlock almost hugging himself as he continued, "The only thing I ever wanted was you...why have I never been good enough for you?" He questioned as his gaze hesitantly turned back towards Henry.
