         Sami felt himself flinch involuntarily  (  so much for putting on a tough face  )  when he felt the other touch his shoulder where was one of the many areas he was bruised.  There was still blood oozing out of the cut on his cheek  —-  Sami could feel it.  It was not just the touching that made him flinch but the idea that someone was trying to care for him.  He had spent his entire life doing that for himself so the idea of someone else doing it unnerved him slightly. And on top of that, she could report it to the officials which would make matters worse.      “S-sasha, no              it’s fine, I swear. I’ll worry about me. You don’t have to.”
