He could hear her soft..and sweet giggle snort, which she made, after he had asked her, if she had been an angel. She would soon look down on him..her gorgeous..fascinating eyes so bright and vibrant.. The female would reply that she was not an angel and she seemed to be so very humorous as well. Such a sweet..kind and gentle soul.. “B..but you..feel..like an angel..” Night would say weakly and close his eyes..as he visibly relished in her warmth..her closeness. It was clear to see..that he longed for this feeling…that he had longed for a caring soul like her..
Night lay there..silently for a moment..just feeling so deeply relaxed, not in a tired way, but more in a very entranced fashion, He had never felt this…safe and protected…it was truly, amazing. She was so lively..and by the way she so endearingly cheerfully spoke, telling him that she’d help him.. it was was the first time in many years, where he finally felt..a spark of hope again. “T-that sounds so amazing.. Thank you so much..” he would whisper softly, trying to find some energy to speak. His crimson red eyes were less tired now, and while they were looking at her mesmerized, one could still see the years of endured grief, that had taken away their shimmer..
Hearing her offering him, that would just need to rest and to eat a good meal, she seemed to believe..that it was just the tiredness, that was weighing down on him… But the pain he felt..was of a different nature..Night.would tremble and his eyes..showed the deep despair..that had been consuming him slowly..over many years, he spent in solitude. “I..am alone…” he uttered weakly..his voice trembling “I..walked on my own f-for so long…ever since..that day..” Night was visible shuddering at the mention of those two last words…as deeply painful memories were tied to them. Night reached for her extended hand..holding onto it tightly..almost desperately…his own hads trembling noticeably. “I..i can’t take it anymore..i don’t..want to be alone…please..don’t leave me alone..” he said..and hsi voice had become brittle…as tears filled his eyes–and began to run down his cheeks

... Feel like an angel? What does an angel feel like? Now she was curious. She was going to actually ask about it, but maybe it wasn’t really the best of moments. She simply smiled and gave a small nod of her head. “.. Thanks. You know, that’s really nice. Angels are nice. And that must mean you think I’m nice too. I appreciate that!” She finished with a cheerful grin.
But when she looked down at his expression, her initial worry suddendly came back - doubled. It wasn’t just that. She was wrong. Cursing herself in her head for her own lack of perceptivity she leaned in just a bit to take a closer look at him. Something terrible must’ve happened. It’s not just weariness. Gosh, how am I even so stupid?! She stopped her internal rambling, though, as soon as she heard the first words. She had to focus so the meaning wouldn’t be all lost to her.
That day? He was probably talking about the day that thing happened. But what exactly was that thing? Should she ask, or-- .. no, that probably was another question not suitable for that moment. Later. Or maybe he decides to share the story by himself.
The following sentences felt like a stab right in her heart.
Her eyes widened, and she opened her mouth as if to give a reply-- but she found herself not being able to stutter out a single word. She quickly closed it back as she looked aside, biting her lip with the smallest of all frowns, trying to find a right answer. Nothing. Her head was empty. She felt his hand tightly squeezing her own one, and she forced herself to look back.
He was crying. Oh no. Oh no, no no no. She wasn’t going to leave this like that.
Taking advantage of their linked hands she pulled him to herself - maybe a bit too harshly, but she was too determined to pay attention to that right now - and embraced him tightly, not even caring anymore about the possible awkwardness, maybe even discomfort! Which she was probably causing.
“I won’t. I’m not going anywhere for now. Okay? Calm down. It’s fine. I can help you. I can, and I will do it.”
Was she panicking? Maybe a little. She really did hope he won’t sense it anyhow. It wouldn’t help at all right now.
