🪐 — CHRISTINE DAAÉ​   for  giovanni !

 ❝  ────── you don’t have to do that.  ❞    her voice is faint and featherlight, fingers grasping at his sleeve. it would be better if she had said she didn’t want him to do that  ― didn’t want to him to flee and leave her hands empty… but those words thicken and catch and spread like fear  ― and her lips quick to seal… her hand, however, said what she could not, clutching at his sleeve with firm but trembling fingers…

           IT’S NOT ABOUT REASON.  no, the way giovanni reacts when he overhears a filthy comment from complete strangers as they pass by christine is entirely emotional.  he’s on his feet before he even thinks about it, his hearing muffled beneath the rush of blood in his ears. but one thing does cut through,  a gentle but insistent tug at his wrist that keeps him tethered to her side.  &  when he looks down into her wide pleading eyes, the rage slowly begins to dissipate.  though the protective instinct still remains, his other arm looping around her shoulder  &  tucking her close to his side.  ❝ do you just want to get out of here ? ❞
