[ Even if she's not here to kill him and not on a job, does it matter all the same when she's made her intentions clear through biting him just now? To him, it's all the same. ]
You're here to annoy me, that's what.
[ And then he realises why it bothers him so much. It's not just about Mary being a pain in the ass, even though she obviously is one of the biggest pains in the asses he's ever known.
It's about much more than that. It's about how everyone just constantly seems out to annoy him and make his life harder, not just Mary. Even though he's trying his best to keep order, to do what he thinks is right, people complain at him from all sides about how he's doing the wrong thing. People looking down on him despite him almost single-handedly carrying the safety of this community on his back. People saying he's nothing more than a monster when he's tried so hard to change, when he came here to get a second chance, to finally do something right for once, to prove himself a better person.
But they don't care. No one cares. They look at him, and all they see is the wolf. Mary is the same. She revels in it, practically, and he's not sure if it's better or worse than all the people looking down on him for it.
It doesn't matter. All he knows is that he's so fucking tired of it. Of pretenses. Of trying his best when no one gives a shit, and shit is all he gets in return for it.
Bigby grabs her more roughly and pulls her along with him, practically throwing her straight onto the floor and it's a lucky thing he's not applying enough force to smash her through it, but it's coming pretty damn close. And a moment later he's already there over her on all fours (it feels so natural to move like that, how could he have forgotten, a voice whispers, no, growls to him--
just let go. ]
I'm so tired of you and everyone else always just fucking around with me! [ His eyes grow yellow, then a deep gold, his claws digging into the floorboards on the sides of her head, his breath coming in low puffs. ] You're all the same when it comes down to it! Everyone talks about it, but no one ever gives a shit about second chances.
[ Not when it comes to it. ]
So.. what? This what you wanna see? Are you fucking satisfied now?
