tcrtcardâ:
thereâs a moment when the boat rockâs forward that a pang of fear strikes through sora. their hands clinging to the seat theyâre sitting on, their face going pale. if bowie had said anything in that time, they wouldnât have heard it. they watched as everyone around them started getting up, and worked on calming himself internally before standing to join them. âcan you stay next to me while we walk off?â in case i fall in. if anyone would, it would be sora.Â
from the space beside sora itâs impossible not to notice their body language . bowie knows well that sometimes are you okay ? is the last straw before crumbling , so she doesnât ask that ( even if sheâs wondering ) . when sora moves to clutch the edge of the seat , bowie instinctively lets a hand go on top of theirs , squeezing gently . a protective mechanism from someone who doesnât willingly show concern for others at the drop of a hat . once skin touches skin bowieâs lips purse â â i hope thatâs okay , â she finally blurts out . not being used to being needed makes her feel a bit of surprise when sora asks her to stay close ... itâs not a job she takes lightly , so sheâs shoulder to shoulder the entire walk off the boat and onto the safety of land .Â
