Krystal gasped in surprise as only a minute after opening his door, Sveinn pulled her into an embrace. Once she processed it she couldn’t help but chuckle and wrap her arms around his middle, her cheek laid on his chest. She’d missed him a lot while she was away, she missed all of her friends here on the island but, she needed to get away for a bit. Being wrapped up in a warm hug from one of her closest friends only hours after returning was exactly what she needed to feel welcomed home. After a moment Krystal pulled away and looked up at her dear friend with a playful smile on her lips.
“I take it you missed me?”
he’d not seen his friend in quite a while, had not even been given a goodbye. at one point he’d just texted her to check up on her and he’d been told she’d travelled away from the island to visit some old friends and find peace of mind. a good thing, of course, he had only been capable of telling her to take care and have a good time.
that did not mean he did not worry. did not mean he didn’t every so often think of her and wonder if she was doing fine or if life was trying to get her down far away, where he could not simply pull her into an embrace and keep all the bad things at bay with his mere presence alone.
so it’s no surprise that when he opens his door one particular day to find her in front of it, his arms find their way around her instantly, pulling her into his chest and becoming the protective circle they’ve always been for her, and doesn’t let go until the moment she pulls away to look up at him, playfulness in her expression. he takes it as a sign that her time away was fruitful, but that doesn’t change the way he looks down at her with those usual piercing dark eyes, peeking at her from beneath his now blue hair.
“only in passing,” he says, but the smile that tugs up the corners of his lips as he says it indicates how he is merely joking. he lifts a hand from around her to run it over her hair, before finally stepping aside and motioning for her to come in. and if all of the plants and flowers in his house are suddenly just that tad bit more alive he’ll blame it on the fact that the sun is shining outside - though wasn’t it raining just moments before?
