When he nuzzled her she moved her hands from where they coiled up on her chest to wrap about his waist. It was difficult not to cry, to be upset. Someone had hurt him and the very idea of that didn’t settle well with her. Even so, she let his words wash over her; she focused on the sound of his voice more than the meaning. Rapture, by nature, wasn’t much of a deep thinker. She understood the intent though: he was trying to make her feel better.
“People hurt you…” she muttered softly, voice quiet as she blinked and rubbed her cheek on his chest. “I… I wasn’t there…”
Her eyes widened a fraction as he moved, as he placed his forehead against hers. Amber-gold seemed flash and then soften as he kissed her. It was difficult to stop herself from reacting, to keep her fingers taking a hold of the shirt that barely covered him—from tugging and gripping even as she returned it. When he pulled away she was frowning and her brow was knit.
..She wasn’t used to feeling guilt. Had never felt it before until now. Heard about it, had fingers pointed at her, words spoken meant to shame her; still, she’d always just grinned and went her own way. This… this was different. Shade had always been different. But he'd never been hurt before; he'd always been ok. He would, in her mind before, always be ok. She'd taken for granted all that he'd been.
Even had one hand remained holding onto the shirt she placed another on her chest, as if doing so would soothe the ache. She sniffed and tried to stop the tears before she looked up and met her gaze even as he twitched his brow at the owlet.
“Not broken…” she agreed. “But… they hurt you…“ She paused, blinked back a few more tears, and said again, "....I wasn't there."
