Val's heart fell when he heard the words and the moment was like slow motion. He should have known, and stopped
it before Beck could start liking him. He swore he felt his heart stop: he would give anything to be with his
friend, but first someone or something needed to repair his broken heart. He wasn't ready to give someone
his full, undying trust again. The only thing he could do, really, was wait. Wait for his heart to be repaired; wait
for his heart to mend himself. "I..." he tried to speak, but his throat felt like it wasn't going to allow him to say
anything at all. "I don't know if I can feel like that, and don't go blaming yourself. I just need to be allowed time
for my heart and mind to pick up the pieces of dignity I have left after my last boyfriend and hope I can redeem
myself after he just spilled my secrets like that..." He was practically not breathing, as the last thing he wanted
to do was hurt Becket, his precious Becket. He just didn't know what else to do until he could actually love again.
He felt like pulling away, but he didn't want to in the slightest. It was better than anything to hold someone in
his arms again, and he just wanted to love and be loved again.
