Also I recommend if you have no idea what RWBY is I do not recommend reading this book

The day continued at usual with bickering, yelling and hidden threats and no love..Mercury rolls his eyes wishing you would just shut up and leave him alone "you're the wife, go do the shopping by yourself" He shrugged dismissing what you say, "YOU LITTLE..." you wanted to hit him, hurt him, kill him.. Cinders voice burned into the back of your skull Dont think, obey.. but instead you snapped back full force fed up with him. "Ya know you're only like this because your messed up in the head and murdered your own father! you just a child who has nothing in his world besides himself... you self centered little prick who has no legs, no hope, no future, who should be dead! instead of abusing your work partner. your just like your father"

Just like your father

just like your father.. Anger swelled up inside him, He got up from the couch dropping his comic book and within a second grabs you by the shirt collar and shoved you back into a wall with a SLAM. One hand at your throat he lifted you off the ground, his eyes darken and he snarled a totally different person. A true son of Black "dont ever speak of that man again" He raised a hand to strike you, you instantly recoiled and flinched covering your face. He noticed your recoil and his hand curled into a fist and put you down and let you go. He glared at you then walked away to go fix the car as you asked.

You watch him go in surprise, feeling bad about what you said. You head into the kitchen and start making lunch for the both of you while he went out and did the repairs.

Mercury got on his back and rolled under the car with a wrench, He started adjusting and fixing. His mind began to wonder

Was she right?
was he like his father?
Should he apologize? was he really  going to drop his dignity to apologize?

He was conflicted, he felt bad for what he did but he refused to show it, that wasnt him to be soft. He wasnt allowed to be soft and squishy. A little bit of oil dripped onto his cheek and he rubbed it off leaving a smudge on his cheek

~~~~~~~

You sighed softly,  you felt bad as well. You wanted to apologize but felt like he wouldn't listen so you did the next best thing on how to apologize to him. Feed him. You finished up lunch and set everything on the table, Picking up your cat pumpkin you went over to the garage. He rolled out from under the car and stood up "you're a mess" you lightly chuckled as he looked over. His clothes and his face smudged and dirty "what else is new" He heads into the bathroom to clean up for lunch. "merc I..." He closed the door behind and you turned away and went back into the kitchen/dining room.
