[acuerdo]

[he knows that there's a distinct possibility that she'll just feel like her decision to go out into the cold and wind of the blizzard was the right decision based on what he's telling her, but he didn't want to lie.]

I know you were scared. But I'm not alone. Not anymore. You changed that.

[recoined]

( a shift, nudging the fabric of his shirt up enough that her lips can brush, ever so gentle, against the skin beneath. it's a gesture that's less than flirtatious — the soft press of her mouth to his sternum is almost reverent, gratitude in each touch. i'm glad you're here, said without saying. )

Stay with me. ( tonight, for a start. ) Please.

[acuerdo]

Nowhere I'd rather be. [he murmurs as his hands find purchase in her hair, fingers tangling between the strands.]

I'll try not to scare you again. Just in case we have another blizzard.

( the sensation is familiar. how many times have his hands coursed through her hair, twirling strands around his fingertips until they splay out, taut against her scalp? more than she can count. but it's never felt quite so careful. his hands have never brushed quite so softly against the nape of her neck, and the newness of the sensation sends the slightest of chills down her spine in return. )

Promise?

[acuerdo]

I swear.

[he nods as he shifts to press a kiss to her forehead. after a long moment later, he settles back down.]

You've got me. Now rest.
