(Anonymous) 2013-03-03 06:00 am (UTC)(link)He laughs stupidly, embarrassed by her strange emotions and making a show of it, but she doesn’t stop staring at him.
“After—… After everything I’ve done to you.” Her voice breaks and she presses her fist to her lips firmly, looking quickly away from him and back at the tiles on the floor. Herman watches, rendered frozen by the beautiful image of Kate trying not to cry. It is such a simple, common thing to see in a regular human being that he thinks it’s idiotic of him to find her so fascinating in the most human things she does. He hated her twenty-four hours ago, wanted her dead.
“You should’ve killed me.” She looks up fiercely, eyes shining with the threat of tears. “I would have killed me.”
Herman’s mouth bobs open with his inadequacy—he never knows how to console people—and he shakes his head earnestly, stupidly. “No, Katie, I would never—,”
“You have questions, Manny.” She dismisses him with a fussy flick of her hand whilst the other rubs at her eyebrow—Herman is once again lost in the previous tide of her quickly changing emotions and fumbles to keep up. “I do too. We should… get this over with.”
He narrows his gaze into hers, part of him longing to treat her similarly to how she once acted, to dance around questions and make her seethe and horrify herself with guilt.
He’s the same old Herman in the end, though. There was a reason Kate was able to enrapture the Gomez family so easily, and it wasn’t all necessarily due to her charms. Weakness was a constant nag in that apartment, especially when crushed and pressured by a force like—well, like Kate once was.
“About us, I guess?”
“Yes.” She answers, looking him steadily in the eye. “Have you told—?”
“Pepper. Only her.” He interrupts, unable to hold her gaze from the rush of the memories that suddenly plagued him. “She… had a hard time; thought that it was her fault, of course… She tried to ki—…” He feels a bit dizzy from that train of thought. “Well, she had a hard time, like I said.”
“I… see.” Kate nods slowly, exhaling and folding her legs underneath her. The faux-leather of the seat squeaks awkwardly. “What about you?”
Herman makes a face, something of a bitter frown, and searches her eyes for a moment before shrugging.

(Anonymous) 2013-03-03 06:01 am (UTC)(link)“It was a joke—,”
“No, it wasn’t a joke, Kate!” He does look to her now, lets her see how much she’s tore at him, how the wounds that she left him with have festered and rotted to the root. It is Kate who struggles to keep his eyes now, and it spurs him. “You’ve ruined me, you’ve ruined my marriage, everything! You can’t just… you just…—”
“You ruined yourself!” In a split second she is there—almost. There is that burning, terrifying hate in her eyes, that juvenile burst of emotion that locks his heart in its grasp and makes him panic. Please, not this. Not her. “You could’ve walked away from me, end of fucking story. But you were weak-willed, Manny; you were with Ellen, you were with Pepper, and then you were with me!”
“Sure, that’s right, but you know what Kate?” His voice is seething through his teeth, firing her up that much more. “You had a moment—you must’ve—when you thought about what you were doing. Where you realized that I’m a father and a husband; where you knew that I would go along with you because I was… Because—”
He sighs at the sight of new tears spilling over her lids, his anger flickering weakly at the sight of her attempts to hide her shame in the biting of her lip, the hard and rapid blinks of her eyes, the restless tapping of her large boots on the seat beneath her.
Herman realizes that being upset with who this girl once was wouldn’t make him feel better about making this new human being cry. He didn’t know her now, didn’t know if she still laughed like a maniac, didn’t know if she was still as flirtatious as she once was, didn’t know if she still liked her steaks bloody—or even when the last time she had a good meal was. She’s a kid, even more so now than when she was 19. His anger could heal without causing her more pain—right? He had to believe that. He had to.
“Sorry, honey,” He whispers, swallowing a few times to fight back the sudden urge to cry. Too much of that today for him to add to it. “I just… I guess it’s strange to see you like this. Brings back some memories, is all.”
After some time of silence, Herman sees her glance briefly to him from the corner of his eye. “I did have that moment. You’re right.”

(Anonymous) 2013-03-03 06:03 am (UTC)(link)“Butch asked me to do it a while after the G.O.A.T. He always really knew the truth, you know, but he wanted to know for absolute certain.” She begins, and Herman prepares for the washes of strange hatred that come over him when thoughts of Butch come about. “He said he wanted me to get close to you through Freddie, because… well, because we always knew that Freddie liked me.”
Herman breathes deeply through his nose, anger rattling his chest harder than he was prepared for at the thought of Kate’s deception to his son. He clenches his fists to keep from lashing out at her once more.
“It was easy. I didn’t care if it hurt you or Freddie.” She admits, picking at her shoelaces. “It was for Butch… so, I just… did it.”
Something clicks, after all this time, and he is surprised he can keep his composure. Herman looks to her then, thankful that she doesn’t bother to meet his gaze. “You love Butch, don’t you?”
Kate’s head snaps to meet his eyes in alarm, her blue eyes practically blurring in their rapid observation of his expression. “No, I—…” Her denial, the flash of emotion in her eyes, is enough for Herman. He turns away, his own eyes blurring the slightest in outrage as she sighs lamely. “…No.”
“Unbelievable.” He hisses, mostly to himself, but he can still hear a hitch of a sob break her even breathing. “I don’t know how you still manage to shock me.”
She whispers something so quietly he cannot hear it.
“What?” He snaps, impatient and exhausted by the sight of her.
Kate sniffs loudly, wiping at her eyes with the heels of her palms before she looks into his eyes with a stunning sort of sincerity. “I’m sorry.”
