Cockscrew was perched on the edge of her bed, optics wide and glowingâŚ
Here Be Dragon. His name is Vincent: Closed RP
Here Be Dragon. His name is Vincent: cockscrewdahearts: Here Be Dragon. His name is Vincent: ClosedâŚ
Cockscrew tries to respond the best she can, clinging onto him desperately with her face buried in his chest. "I-I was l-lookingâ" a hiccup interrupts her attempt at trying to explain, "f-forâŚâ. She grapples onto him, trying not to cry as the thunder shakes the ship once again. Cockscrew makes a valiant attempt to stop herself from stuttering and having oil leak from her optics, but her efforts all go wasted. She slowly sinks to the ground in a wet heap, her robe drenched through and hanging pitifully on her shoulders. She closed her eyes and places her hands over her face, her memory of what happened when she was younger repeating over and over inside her head. Just as it always did during storms.Â
Vincent pulled her close, kissing the top of her head. He rubbed her back in an attempt to calm her down. âYou donât ever have to worry about me, I promise." He gently pushed her away from his chest in order to wipe away her tears. âI promise."
Cockscrew nods and reached a wet hand up to wipe at her face. "Donât go out.. Donât go out. Stay with me." She manages to speak without stuttering and grabs onto his hands, clutching them as if they were a life line.She slowly rises from her spot on the floor, despite being weak at the knees, and holds onto him. "I-Iâm sorry Vincent, I thoughtâŚ"Â
"thereâs no need to be scared, Heart. I got you. Iâll stay with you." He squeezed her hand reassuringly, making sure she wasnât going to fall over.
Cockscrew holds onto his hand and leads him to his room, head bowed down and fingers tightening around his own with each boom of thunder overhead. "I just hate storms⌠I can never sleep, and I went looking for you. Then I thought you were in the storm, so I tried to go out on the balcony to find you.."Â
She runs a hand through her wet hair, "I didnât want to be alone tonightâ
"You don't have to be. Come into my room and let's dry you off." He rubbed her shoulder comfortingly.
