[ a fair point— one that she can’t really think of anything ( smart ) to say back. she pauses for a moment, head tilting just a bit. ]

“unless you’re going back to my mother, i disagree.”

she can handle dangerous and scary and life-threatening— loneliness is somehow worse than all of that combined.

"heh."

he gave her a little squeeze with a grunt.

"borin' is good, right? means shit's normal, y'know? trust me, kid, where i go, it ain't a life ya want."

little huff, voice muffled by the fabric of his shirt.

“next time you go somewhere, can i come? it gets so. . . boring without you.”

[ʙᴀᴛꜱʜɪᴛ ᴄʀᴀᴢʏ | ɴᴇɢᴀɴ @BADFXCKINDOG]

his smile grows in warmth and he chuckles.

[𝐋𝐘𝐃𝐈𝐀 𝐒𝐔𝐓𝐓𝐎𝐍 .ᐟ @upcndeafears]

little smile, relaxing against his side and letting her eyes close again.

“a lot better now that you’re here.”

[ʙᴀᴛꜱʜɪᴛ ᴄʀᴀᴢʏ | ɴᴇɢᴀɴ @BADFXCKINDOG]

"i have to because none of the assholes around here hype you up enough."

his other hand came up to rest on her head, smiling softly.

"yeah. me, too, kid. how ya doin'?"

[𝐋𝐘𝐃𝐈𝐀 𝐒𝐔𝐓𝐓𝐎𝐍 .ᐟ @upcndeafears]

“you give me too much credit.”

hiding her face in his shirt, arm winding around his waist.

“. . .i missed you.”

[ʙᴀᴛꜱʜɪᴛ ᴄʀᴀᴢʏ | ɴᴇɢᴀɴ @BADFXCKINDOG]

"and that's all the reason we fuckin' need to celebrate!"

gives her a one armed hug and pats her back.

"what can i say? 'm proud of yah."
