MHA #13 - Monday after classes

[itsananomaly]

After class had finished for the day Cutter had returned to his and Connor’s flat and decided to have a shower. He was planning on heading back to his old flat to do some work on setting up the anomaly prediction model Fandom version and he was still getting used to the idea of showering with sharing a flat with someone, since it had been a very long time since Helen and even Stephen, he hadn’t thought to completely cover up and had only wrapped a towel around him, which meant a lot of those still very red H’s that had been imprinted in his skin were completely visible.

He went back to the bedroom to change, still oblivious to the idea that Connor could walk in and see those scars.

[for Connor, up early for timezones and sp and that Cutter and Connor talked is fine for broadcast but what they discussed is NFB please! CW for discussion of torture and death in the comments]

The whole getting used to sharing the flat with someone else struggle went both ways. Connor still wasn't quite used to the idea of having to knock or check if Cutter was using the shower or in the bedroom or anything. So after he had been out with Rex for the afternoon, giving the guy some good flying time in at the park, Connor came back to the flat and headed for the bedroom to change into clean clothes.

Opening the door without the thought to knock or call out to let Cutter know he was back, Connor walked in. When he saw Cutter standing there his eyes of course went to the scars as hard as he tried not to stare, the flood and flashes of how they got there running through his mind in those few seconds before he looked away.

"Oh... s-sorry Nick..." he said averting his eyes. "Didn't mean to... I... I mean..." he stammered.
