— in some ways, it didn’t feel like it was real. one side leaned against the wooden fence, arm propped on the highest row of wood. he watched with an almost surreal gaze as he watched tamara gently scratch just behind the horse’s ear. the mare stood, content; an awed smile slowly made its way to tamara’s lips. his mom had found her way to the district only about a week ago. after years of thinking that she was permanently gone from his life - much like all the others from his life before the carbines - there she was. and he felt--
eyes wandered briefly towards the ground, features solemn and thoughtful. he felt anxious. he wasn’t the same person that she knew; he could already tell that she was well aware of it already. through brief pauses and hesitations, in the way she looked at him too closely. in the way only a mother could understand that something had changed their son in ways unimaginable. it wasn’t particularly a part of himself he was willingto share; tamara herself seemed hesitant to press the subject. or the fear that she would be leaving soon to go after brock; that she would go missing all over again and he’d have to wait years to see her again. the anxiety felt nearly unbearable at times.
his gaze wandered back, lips twitching briefly as she cooed at the horse.
despite all the anxiety and nerves - more than anything, he was happy.
happy that she was alive. happy that she was here, even while he wasn’t usually the first person to go around expressing that sort of emotion. having her around during thanksgiving, with green, and arlo, and all the people mick truly cared about… there weren’t words.
“i always wanted horses, you know,” tamara admitted, turning her gaze briefly towards mick. she looked back to the horse as she carried on thoughtfully, “to have a stable somewhere, take care of them. but - i didn’t know a thing about horses. i still don’t. never even rode one before. but here i am... still wanting a horse of my own.”
mick nodded to himself quietly. then, he noted softly, “some day.”
she patted the horse as she added in a wishful breath, “some day.” then there they stood in the crisp midday air in peaceful quiet, as tamara continued to gush over the friendly mare.
as surreal as it felt, mickey had to admit that he could get used to this.
