Lortel does not share his inhibitions. Without asking she reaches for him wholly, pulling him into her arms and settling into the pillows beside him. she’d all but forgotten her mask, a dark shimmering veil that hides half her face; all it is right now is a barrier. she unhooks it without a thought and lets it fall where it will. her lips brush his cheek; her forehead gently bumps his.
Sunny. Sunny. the boy who wants her. Sees her. needs her. Sunny.
she feels bound to him in a bone-deep way she neither understands nor can define, but for the first time since she woke up, her feeling of faint panic fades. it’s warm. they’re safe.
Lortel bites her lips together, trying, trying, but she can’t stop the murmur from hiccuping and beginning to cry in reaction to the terrified agitation of her heart; the sound is a soft susurrus in their ears, gentle as rain. ]
