“i–i,” but macy was at a loss for words. she was so close to tears that anything she said would come out shaky and not at all sounding like someone who can provide support for the troubled male. instead, she opted to look away from him, but her grip on his never loosens. noah was her best friend; her consistency and he needed her to be strong right now. with a deep breath, a few tendrils escape her messy bun and cascade like a veil over her angelic features as she feigns a weak smile, “i–i’m ‘kay. you deserve someone who’s there for you. who can be strong for you and i want to be strong. for you..” her vocals are weak, but her ability to hold back the pending tears is surprising. it felt nice to hold his hand, that relieving sense of comfort that often radiates from the boy calming her even now.
“babe, why are you so UPSET?” seeing how upset she was brought confusion upon the males face. but nothing would stop him from providing comfort to her if she needed. that’s just like him, always cares more for others above himself and he was okay with that. seeing her with a smile on her face was all he needed to be happy. “you are there for me, all the time. you’re a lot stronger than you think.” though she may not be aware, but she’s the reason he’s stayed strong for so long. just being in her presence is enough.
