starter for @lastedpromise ( javi ) from kate !
they’ve both been through more than either of them really deserved, with the scars to prove it. kate wouldn’t mind her own if it didn’t constantly remind her of the death of mariana and her inability to do anything other than nearly get herself killed. and that thought led to other thoughts—running back into david, being scared for her life, having to save richmond from impending doom—but they’d made a home here and the scars were just something she had to live with.
it wasn’t all bad, anyway, she supposed. things could’ve been a lot worse than they were, and she knew that she should be grateful for what she did have—her stepson and javi and a place where they could sleep without the fear of being snuck up on by muertos.
“ you know my eyes are up here, right ? ” kate said as she pulled her shirt down over her torso. she knew where javi had really been looking—the annoying scar on her abdomen—but she couldn’t resist teasing him. the faint smile that had pulled at her lips started to fall away as she added, “ the more you stare at it isn’t gonna make it go away… trust me, i’ve tried. ”
