theo bennett: you need never be alone again. i will keep you safe.
the definition of safety is no longer one nikki knows. there were times even in her past that safety evaded her, but now it was completely gone, taken with it her confidence and some of her sanity. theo had always been kind. he'd never made her uncomfortable ( on accident or otherwise ), he was a gentleman in every sense of the word. he took care of her then, and he was taking care of her now. the difference was that she was more of a burden currently than she ever had been, before. 'you shouldn't have to keep me save,' nikki murmurs after a moment, running a hand through long, black locks. 'you shouldn't even have me here, theo. if anyone found out you were literally harboring a fugitive, i . . .' she couldn't live with herself. she could barely do it now. 'you're good at keeping me safe, so let me do it for you, just once. don't let me stay,' but she wouldn't walk out on her own if he decided she was worth the risk. @studiodrafts.
