@blindedxthelight said  ‘ i can’t do anything right.’

Scott’s words make a breath leave her, short and sharp. It didn’t feel like enough to tell him that it wasn’t true. It had crossed her mind too, in the dark while she stared at the ceiling late at night, wishing not to fall asleep and risk losing control while she slept. I can't do anything right. Jean watches him with eyes warm and heavy, gathering herself before finally stepping forward and slipping her hand into his. Her fingers are much slighter than his but her grip is stronger than expected for someone her size. She squeezes his hand tight, thumb sliding over his knuckles as she studies his face. 

Her voice is sweet, quiet like she doesn't want to spook him. "Scott..." Had she missed something? She doesn't want to invade his privacy, take a quick look and find out exactly what spurred this on. Then again, it could just be the pressure he's normally under piling on or... She couldn't help but wonder if it was something she'd done, or something she'd said. "Tell me what happened," she urges, tugging his hand to get him to turn his body and look at her.
