despite the ache, that twisting pain in her chest, it softens at the feel of that kiss. bubbles a small, almost watery laugh, from her chest at the words. because she does not expect anything different. it's exactly the kind of words she expected from him, despite the very gentle gesture to her hand.
she releases her hold on him. but it isn't for long, it never is, always drawn to his side like the soft warmth from a sun that keeps peeking in through the window. both her hands move to cup his face, guiding him closer to rest their foreheads together. pressing herself closer to him, holding him like the moment she lets go he will simply crumble away. disappear and vanish as is the fate of his universe back home.
and still, she holds him like he's something precious, and deep down he is. has become that way over time. every passing day, every quiet night shared with them both. and right now, rather than wishing for what the future could have been, she wants to focus on the present. she wants to focus on this moment. ...she'll worry about that time when it comes later. ]
Stay with me tonight?
[ as if she has not asked him countless times before.
as if it is not his company she has sought out, time and time again.
but, more than ever, she wants to cherish this time. wants to make a bit more memories with him until she is no longer able to. ]
