[ He leaves you alone for the first twenty minutes, deliberately giving you the space that you seem to need in order to breathe. Yes, doing that comes without it's own set of complications, because there are a handful of instances where he's looked over August's shoulder and found himself halting mid-sentence because every time you come into view, it's glaringly obvious that you're not at your best and whatever courage he thought he'd mustered over the last week is gradually fleeing his system.
He'd sent you gifts out of cowardice, because he hadn't known how to ask outright if you'd be alright with him coming home and trying again. That's kind of why he picked the DVD that he sent you for Christmas, even if he was mostly sure that you likely wouldn't watch it.
( Maybe he should have hunted up a book instead. You always preferred them to movies. On top of that, maybe he should have actually tried harder this year, or like, attended your birthday instead of quailing and begging off because he really wasn't sure if you wanted him around. )
Eitherway, it's time to kind of face the music and he's approaching you right after you finish up with someone else, hands tucked shyly in his coat and gaze unable to hold yours.
( God help him, this is going to kill him for real. ) ]
