Ashton stared at Valli, his lower lip shaking as he spoke. He could see it though, he wasn't stupid like a lot of people thought him to be. He was SCARING this poor man without intending to. He was an absolute monster, really he was.
"You...You promise? If...If I stay with someone I'm not gonna be bottled up again? Left alone in a living hell to fend for myself till my powers absolutely control me and turn me into some monster again?" he asked. His voice cracking terribly.
No powers erupted this time. Usually, they only showed themselves when Ashton was angry. Sadness didn't usually....cause a reaction. And he was feeling an immense amount of guilt and sadness right now.
He slowly looked at his feet as tears welled in his eyes before spilling down. "I...I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean to scare you or hurt you if I did." he wrung his hands tightly together till his knuckles began to turn white. His heart thumping loud in his ears.
