Oh, he could give a list of the reasons why Abel had every reason to not be nice, to not just put up with his behaviour, but they both know what he did and there's no point in going over it again.

"Wasn't the only reason, no." But it was a start. It was hard not to like him when he was always so kind. Even more so as time went on and he realised Abel was just... like that. Nothing he was doing was an act.

"Not everyone deserves kindness." Not everyone. "And I wasn't trying to be deserving of it. But then... you made me want to be. I liked it when you'd smile because of something I did. It was about more than just going home. I started to panic, because if you knew what was happening... I'd lose you too."
