“Please. Let’s just stay like this for as long as we can.” - Katelyn to Emerald ; after being found by him mom & being bullied, bc she's scared, sad & embarrassed.
“i’m not going anywhere,” emerald whispered, pulling katelyn closer to him. when they got back to their cabin emerald didn’t to put all his boundaries he had given himself to the side && comfort katelyn the only way he knew how. he pulled katelyn into his lap before she could run off to sulk by herself && moved so that they were curled up on the bed together. he made sure it was alright with her, because she had been through enough, he wasn’t going to force her to spend time with him. “i’ve got you. nothing else is gonna happen on my watch.”
