“Steve, what I want is for you to stop lookin' at me like that.” James didn't know why it bothered him so much, at least today of all days. It was easier most days, to stay quiet when he saw that crease in people's forehead. Like they were either wary of something or worried. The words fell out of his mouth, a plea of some sort. (A beg, perhaps?) The way the other looked at him put him on edge. It made him feel like he was a crazed animal being backed into a corner; the look conveyed of one trying to placate said animal. It just pissed him off. So as he stood across from Steve, his hands flying up to only fall back down to hit onto his legs, an exasperated movement. “All I want, especially from you of all people, is to look at me without... / that / look!”
