She remained flopped on the ground, crying, as he climbed into the clock tower. She didn't know what he was going to do, and it was hard to get herself to care. Objectively, she should care a lot. She should be scared, or worried about him breaking her like he nearly had in the past. She was 80% of the way to naked already; it was inevitable he'd take her the rest of the way and then want to fuck her, again and again.
But he wouldn't kill a rat in front of her and pour its blood on her face. No matter what he did, it wouldn't be that. So she couldn't bring herself to care.
Instead of anything to hurt her, however, unintentional or no... He sat down beside her. She glanced up at him, and he scooped her up into his lap. She curled up against him automatically, tucking her feet and legs into his lap. Pressing herself against his chest. It wasn't warm, but it was strong. She rested against it, and the cool felt good against her feverish skin.
He wrapped his wings around her, shutting out the world. She relaxed, by inches, sinking more and more against his chest. She was still crying, but it was more subdued now, a quiet trickling of tears down her cheeks.
He kissed her hair, gently.
Wings around her, keeping her safe from the terrifying city outside and everything in it, everything that wanted to hurt her. Because sometimes he wanted to hurt her, but only a little bit, and only in ways she liked. She sniffled quietly, leaned against him more, as much as she could, a hand against his chest.
"At least I've got you, you weird gargoyle thing," she sniffed, voice strained from all she'd been through. She wasn't even being sarcastic, not really. She nuzzled against his chest, soothed by the darkness his wings provided, the closeness of contact. If anything came here to hurt her, he would kill the shit out of them. Even that asshole vampire. He'd murder it, tear its spine out, break its neck. If he knew what it had done to her...
She probably shouldn't have screamed at Ruka for doing basically the same. She'd just been scared. Not expecting yet another unfathomable inhuman thing in her life.
But some unfathomable inhuman things were okay, maybe, if they held her close and wrapped her in wings and kissed her hair. Human things didn't even do that. Ever.
He cared about her, in his weird way.
She thought maybe she cared about him too, in her weird way.
Her tears had sort of stopped, although she was still making little sniffling noises. She rubbed at her eyes and cheeks to wipe away the dampness, then looked up at her would-be friend.
"Did you even eat my cake?" she chided gently, smiling weakly. "I had to face off against a scary monster for that too, you know. Nothing's ever easy."
