Baby, it's alright, I'll be just by your side//I'll keep you on my sight, I'll never leave 'til you sleep tonight – Tamerlane Usher/Verna (Candy)
A/N: Fic 10/20 for my 4x4 @julybreakbingo Card with alts.
Candy, Verna by another name, watches as Tamerlane Usher settles to sleep. There’s fear there that stings. She knows why, she’s been the reason for enough people, but when Tamerlane’s eyes close, she leans to kiss her forehead softly, letting Tamerlane settle and rest her head on her chest, stroking the girl’s hair softly as she watches her settle, the girl’s fears are clear, even as she finally slips under, but Tamerlane’s sleep won’t be disturbed this time, Verna knows that, she’s made sure as much as she can. So when Tamerlane nestles into her a little more, she smiles, stroking the girl’s hair tenderly.
“That’s it, my little bug, you rest for me.”
