I Cut Straight To The Heart (Ranchers Oneshot)

Now, Jimmy looks close to tears, and Tango feels just a little bad about it (he feels awful). "I need you."

Tango clenches his jaw. He's already been so mean to Jimmy, too mean, and every single awful, soul-shriveling word that comes out of his mouth hurts him just as much as it hurts Jimmy, but . . .

"And I don't need you."

---

Or, there's been a massive misunderstanding, Tango is brutal and unforgiving, and Jimmy just wants to clear everything up.
