[He knows how deeply he feels. Things that Coulson doesn't. If he doesn't know? Then it's true. Ward watches the tree burn and feels like screaming.]
Then come and keep them from coming after me so Skye and Fitz don't do anything stupid.
And if I send my dog back and you do anything to him - turning him against me? We're going to have words. but I'm not going to kill you. I can give you chances too.
[Coulson doesn't know how the other man feels. He just knows how good an actor he can be. Good enough to fake it for years. If he really loved someone, only Ward would know. And this Ward wont know until it happens to him, if it happens to him at all.]
its not my habit to turn a dog against its companion. and my threat to kill you isnt if you back stab me. it isn't if you hurt their feelings. its if you hurt them. skye or fitz. i cant trust you not to turn on them but i want to.
i want to trust you ward that might be the dumbest thing ive said in a while but its true you can screw of my trust as much as you need to, but not theirs. thats all
[He said some right things - you can screw off my trust but not theirs and it...it almost reminds him of John. And that makes him sick but gives him strength because John...John cared.
Not that much but it happened later.
After he proved himself.
He could do that. That was his chance.]
I'll find you before I leave officially to talk over last minute specifics.
