❝H-ey!❞ she squealed in protest, ❝Put me down!”
She wanted to be put down, and yet she was now clinging to him for dear life, making it impossible. Hmm, it was really a good thing that she wasn’t afraid of heights too (the guy still seemed to be a giant to her)! She felt extremely tall at the moment, even if him holding her didn’t actually make her taller than if she was to be on her own two feet. Oh well.
She could only accept her fate she supposed, and it wasn’t as if this was a particularly bad one either. So she sighed and relaxed into him, yawning and then blinking a bit, ❝Huh, guess I am tired…❞
Her head came to rest against him and she watched the path up ahead. It really was a little ridiculous that he was carrying her like this, especially considering the upcoming stairs. Guilt crept in but conflicted with the relief she felt at the fact she wouldn’t have to climb the things herself.
❝Are you sure this isn’t too hard? I don’t wanna be a bother to you.❞
He couldn’t help it, her protest was so dramatic to him that he chuckled and held her closer so she wouldn’t move. Her clinging was helpful in that aspect. It also helped that he was in great need of human contact, so this was helping to settle what had been building for a few days now. It was why he made no effort to restrain himself from playing with her hair as they walked.
Then she relaxed into him more and he smiled at her, subtly smelling her hair because girls just had that thing where no matter what they did or where they were, they always smelled amazing. Andy had the thing too, she smelled incredible, and he just nodded at her words.
It seemed she couldn’t help herself as they ascended the stairs, though and he sighed a little as he nodded once more. “It’s fine, you weigh nothing...”
It was true, to him she was a feather, his battle ropes felt heavier than she did and she quite literally made no difference than if he had been walking the stairs alone. He couldn’t help but ask, though, now that he knew she wasn’t really who she said. “Y’know, as gorgeous as you are... M’not some creep that’s gonna stalk you, you don’t have to hide who you really are...”
