5 times Amber felt safe w/ Tenn (if at all lol)
five times... //accepting // @grewupfxst
The sound of the wheels beating against the rocky terrain of the Western Australian desert as....Carlos ( was that his name? ) drove as if he had a plan on where they were going. The sound of the wind beating through broken windshields became white noise as she laid her head to rest against his lap, not caring how indecent it looked. She was exhausted and for once she felt something akin to safe and slowly with the constant sound of the road beneath the wheels, Amber drifted off to sleep.
It seemed just the two of them had volunteered to pick up things here and there to start a fire for the night. Amber had thought it was a bad idea, but with how the temperature dropped she knew it had to happen or else they’d shiver in the night and be dingo food by morning. She handed him over a few pieces of broken branches, a small smile tugged upwards at the edge of her lips.
❝ Thank you for all of this. ❞
Amber offered him a quick smile as the water slipped over her parched lips and down her throat like some sweet liquor she’d longed for. She’d taken for granted drinking water, but now, with him always keeping an eye on her, she knew she could feel safe, that she could trust them and let her guard down for only a little while.
