Mistakes (Claire/Matt)
Clairedevil - “Waste time with me and make mistakes with me”
She can never say no to him, not when he’s bleeding freely on her doorstep, sheepish smile slanting across his face, a faraway gaze in his unseeing eyes.
She should be out in the world, looking for someone who will love her the way she deserves, someone who will cut the shit and quit wasting her time, but damn it, all he has to do is touch her like he’s seeing her for the first time, and she’s completely lost.
It’s a mistake, but they fit together like puzzle pieces, her feet planted firmly between his own, leaning into him as her fingers card through his messy hair looking for bumps and cuts.
And if there was anyone worth wasting time with, well it’s him, with his gentle hands and his heart that aches for the world around him.
And every time they end up twisted in her sheets, the pads of his fingers reading her body like a thousand page novel, she knows it’s a mistake she’ll make again and again.
