i met the kindest young man the other day! unfortunately, the circumstances were... fraught with stressors.

"There you are! It's good to see you, my love."

Soft touch, she's setting the beauty's hair straight, offering fawning touches to her cheek, a careful hand beneath her lower lip to catch mascara, drool, mucus and more... and flick them all away.

"You're alright, aren't you? Tell me what's wrong."

"𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗲𝘆."

Her voice cuts through the wail, wrapped in silk bolts and honeyed affection, reaching directly for the doctor's heart of hearts.

"I need you to 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗺 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻. Can you do that for me, darling?"

So close. So close, but still so far from the truth.

"Doctor Quinzel. Harleen, please, I need you to hear the sound of my voice. I need you to feel my chest rumbling as I say this to you.

I'm real. I'm here. We both are."

It takes her no time at all to leap forward and wrap the woman in her arms. Pinning her arms to her side & nestling softly against her.

"No, dear! No, no, no, please don't do this... You don't want to hurt, it's okay. You're okay, my love. You're okay."

"There's no learning to be had if I give you all the answers, darling."

"Ha! You'd be so lucky, my darling. You still haven't earned a place within my good graces yet."

"I've heard about it for the first time today, but I'm excited to learn."

You are sane.
You are whole.
You. Are. Loved, my darling.

You're so very loved, and every moment you spend trying to deny my love is another moment spent questioning your sanity.

"Sweet thing~"

The blonde smiled, watching her newest pet scamper off. What a delight she'd be to tear apart.

"It's telling me to play Fortnite... oddly enough."

/ I love a good Tag Team, hell yes!
