At the tug on her hand, the red head felt a weak smile fall on her lips and she allowed herself to fall down next to her boyfriend, allowing her arm to fall across his chest and travel to his face, where it stroked the pale skin gently. It had been so long since she had been next to him. It had been too long since she had rested. Her eyes fell closed, cheek restin upon his shoulder, nose nuzzled into his neck where she could feel his pulse beating lightly against the tip. There was comfort in knowing he was alive.
Her heart hammered in her chest and she cuddled closer, knees curling up and inhaled deeply, allowing his scent to wash over her and calm her. " I promise. I'll protect you."
