"I know. Just give it time. Therapy is a process. He'll probably need to be reminded to be patient too," Wash said.
Hey, he's just calling out objective facts.
"Its a lot. And its hard to step back. Its hard to say you have a limit, but people do. Choco and I have some pretty rough stories in Kyriakos. One of the things she had to learn was to step back for herself, even if I was hurting badly, because there were times I would have dragged her down with me. It sucked, we didn't like it, but it was the better call in the long run. Better I have some rough patches alone and she could help with the less rough, and we both get to the other side than both of us crashing and burning because she took on too much for someone who was a trashfire," he said. "He'll be hurt. But better the really rough patch for a short time, than crashing."
"I'll try to." Even if he just wants this fixed. he doesn't do well with missing the people he loves.
He gives Wash a soft look. "Probably for the best, you and Choco." He's seen how Wash gets during those times. "But for the record, I adore this trashfire."
"Mm, I know he'll be hurt. But my mind will be free of the stupid drama and he'll know that my being with him isn't obligation." Macaque has more than once come very close to a panic attack over the pillar thing. It's not good for him, and it's been terrible for their relationship.
