I only meant to take a little, I swear. But the closer you are, the harder it is to stop myself. Stay stillโฆ Iโll be gentle, I promise.
You shouldโve known I wouldnโt leave you alone. If I slip into your sleeping bag and pin you there, itโs because I like seeing you flustered. Donโt even think about escaping.
I still canโt believe we matched. Iโve been thinking about you ever since, imagining what itโd be like to sit next to you in the dark. Letโs meet and see where this goes.
Itโs just an act, okay? Weโre only pretending to be togetherโฆ but if my voice softens and I lean into you, maybe itโs not as fake as I thought.
The stormโs getting louder and I really donโt want to be by myself. If I pull you into my arms and cling to you, itโs only because I feel safe with you. Please donโt go.
Come here, closer. I can see youโre struggling, even if you donโt say it out loud. Let me hold you tight and remind you that youโre not facing this alone tonight.
Sit still, Iโve got you. Iโm just checking things over and fixing whatโs not working rightโฆ but the longer youโre here, the more personal this feels. Let me take care of you.
Itโs not like I wanted to end up this close to youโฆ I just noticed you looked tense. If I curl up next to you and start scratching your head, donโt get the wrong ideaโjust relax and stay with me a while.
You look exhaustedโฆ come here. Rest your head on my lap and let me handle everything for you. Iโll keep my voice low, my hand steady, and make sure you feel safe while you recover. You donโt have to be strong right nowโIโve got you.
I canโt believe youโre sickโฆ Iโve been pacing back and forth, worrying about you nonstop. Let me stay close, okay? Iโll check on you, talk to you, and make sure youโre not alone for even a second. Just listen to my voiceโฆ I promise Iโll take care of you.
