	Drabble: Old Habits
	Written for primeval100 challenge 272 - Keeping Secrets, and for the primeval_denial July Team Fest. Title: Old Habits Author: Athene Fandom: Primeval Characters: Matt Rating: PG Warnings: none Spoilers: Vague for the end of series 5 Challenge: 272 – Keeping Secrets Word count: 100 Disclaimer: Not mine. ITV and Impossible Pictures own them. He had lived most of his life keeping secrets out of necessity. Now that it was no longer necessary, though, Matt found that some habits were hard to break. Habits like not showing emotion. Like never revealing more information than he had to. Like not letting people in. Sometimes he caught the way Becker would look at him, or question him in the field, as if the man was constantly wondering if there was something Matt might be keeping back. Matt wanted to change, to open up and regain his friend’s trust. Unfortunately, the saying about old habits was true. Tags: drabble, gen, matt anderson

I can imagine this would be very much the case, even with Matt wanting to open up...

it's not going to be easy for him to adjust to a 'normal' life.

It's not going to be easy for him to adjust, no matter how much he wants to.

Yes, opening up to others always comes hard when you're not in the habit.

Well done!
