#hektor internally at all times: 🥺

I'm writing a little Hektor/Andromache fic set immediately after they get married and. It's just Hektor who's always kinda close to crying doing anything he can think of to make Andromache more comfortable and hopefully keep her from being so nervous around him vs Andromache who's (understandably) paranoid about hurt and abuse given her lack of control with an arranged marriage and reads into Hektor's nice gestures way to much, worried he's trying to take advantage of her or indebt her.

They're both doing their best and eventually start to figure things out and fall in love, but they are on WILDLY different frequencies at first, wow lmao. Like they both feel like they're invested in a crucial match, but they're actually not even playing the same game. Andromache feels like she can outwit him anticipating 20 moves ahead in the world's most intense chess game while Hektor feels like they're playing go fish and he's trying to let her win but he keeps accidentally asking for the cards she has

Edit: here's the fic
