↪︎ He would do so, entering the quarters to allow the two some well-needed rest. It had been a long day for both of them.

↪︎ Going as far as to softly set her atop the soft cushy blankets. He hadn't even gotten a feel but just from looking they looked ridiculously soft..

↪︎ Better than the assumption she’d originally came up with, with him trying to take advantage of her. He snarked at the thought once more.

“𝙲𝚊𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝙸 𝚐𝚎𝚝 𝚠𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚒𝚝𝚜 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚏𝚎𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚗’ 𝚊𝚕𝚘𝚗𝚎. 𝙸 𝚖𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚋𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚍𝚞𝚍𝚎 𝚒𝚗 𝚜𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚒𝚗’ 𝚊𝚛𝚖𝚘𝚛 𝚋𝚞𝚝 𝙸𝚖 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎.“

↪︎ If that’s even what she was saying, which it probably wasn’t but he wasn’t about to allow himself to be insulted either.

“𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚕𝚘𝚘𝚔𝚎𝚍 𝚕𝚘𝚗𝚎𝚕𝚢. 𝚃𝚑𝚊𝚝𝚜 𝚠𝚑𝚢 𝙸 𝚌𝚊𝚖𝚎.“

↪︎ She’d been alone up on that building. No one to check on her. No one to care. If anything that could speak on the type of guy he was

“𝚂𝚝𝚘𝚙 𝚕𝚢𝚒𝚗’.“

↪︎ He’d tease through soft sobs. A crack of a smile forming over. His head tilting back to stare at her with redness in his eyes.

“𝙱𝚞𝚝 𝙸𝚖 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚕 𝚐𝚕𝚊𝚍 𝚊𝚗𝚢𝚠𝚊𝚢𝚜..“

↪︎ That time had gone on without her and now she’d returned. None of it truly mattered. And in that she was correct. She had come running back. In the most literal sense. His arms tightened once more, not from fear this time around but an odd comfort.

“𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚓𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚏𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚌𝚎𝚗𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝚋𝚕𝚘𝚘𝚍.“

↪︎ It made him tense just the slightest.

↪︎ Stepping in front of her vision with a softly raised eyebrow. His tone defensive but not offensive. Only curious.

“𝙴𝚊𝚜𝚢 𝚞𝚙 𝙹𝚒𝚊.. 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚎, 𝚠𝚎 𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝. 𝚂𝚝𝚎𝚙𝚙𝚒𝚗’ 𝚘𝚗 𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚝 𝚐𝚘𝚗𝚗𝚊 𝚑𝚎𝚕𝚙 𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑..“

↪︎ She almost resembled herself when they’d originally met. Cold. Shallow. Angered.

↪︎ His attention would however be cut short at the small arguments breaking out. A small grimace taken in his expression. The group fighting this early on never played out well.

“𝙻𝚎𝚝𝚜 𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚌𝚑 𝚞𝚙 𝚘𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚕𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚛. 𝚈𝚎𝚊𝚑?“

↪︎ He’d jog over to Jiaying.
