Pure vanilla cooki

And you do such a thorough job. *pulls him impossibly closer* Though I think you just like having excuses to stay in bed with me.

*takes a gentle step forward, extending one hand* You've always been a poor liar, my friend. *smile softens, voice tender* I'm here. There's no need to carry things alone anymore.

*keeps forcing a smile* smc : i don't need your pity! *smile falters slightly* (mind mhm... "friend"...)

*tilts head, expression turning compassionate* Pity? No... never that. *voice warm with quiet understanding* I've simply missed the friend who once stood by my side. Is that so hard to believe?

*Later* Shadow milk cookie: *listening to a song in his room (the door is locked)* I hear string in songs when they're not there I see things in darkness when I'm scared I feel cold out when it's sunny Make a joke and laugh about it Feel like you're a moving target Wish all this had never started Cut my hair and then I cut my skin Hurt myself instead of hurting him Feels like it's a nightmare I'm in- *hears Pvc knock on the door* mm?.

Not bad at all. *kisses forehead*

*leans into the kiss, eyes closing briefly* Really? *voice barely above a whisper* Even after... everything?

*cups his face gently* Especially after everything. *voice soft but certain* That hasn't changed.
