[The hand on his chest pushing him back startles him, but not enough for him to lose balance. Instead he takes two steps back, mouth parting for a moment to look at her in awe. He feels like this is the first time he really sees her, the first time she's showing him who she really is. He knows it's not entirely true, but until now, whenever she had pushed him, there had been a bed underneath his back and she had been smirking at him playfully, in a way that made him shiver, not looked at him with so much anger in her eyes.

It hurts him, though he might not admit it, or let it get to him. She's being so stubborn, when all he wants to do is make it alright, can't she see that?]

The right? Maybe the fact that I worry about you and don't want there to be misunderstandings between us, because you're dear to me, is that enough?!

[He bites his tongue, when he realizes he raised his voice and takes another dee breath, but it sounds more like he's seething. No. No they're not dating, but that didn't change they were close! Or was it just him who thought that way?]

And assumption based on the fact, that you seem to get pissed more at every word that leave my mouth. That you don't let me even touch you anymore. That for a compliment I get a sneer in return.

Merlin's balls, Ran! I'm not stupid, so don't lie to me!
