you didn't have to tell me that. i want you to know who i am.
#halebedit#hanna x caleb#hannamarinedit#prettylittleliarsedit#plledit#calebriversedit#*#r: i want you to know who i am#the vulnerability in this ship#how critical they are to each other#the healing#how they're so much more than just 'a high school ship'#how hanna gives caleb a home and a family. the first person in his life to ever care about him or believe in him#and how completely caleb loves hanna and deeply he sees her#these two people who in their own ways have been abandoned and invisible#and how hard they fight to heal this in one another#fighting for each other's relationships#how they become the best versions of themselves with each other#not out of some desire to impress the other but because they're seen and understood and loved and supported#it can wait.#just hold me. that'll help me.#i want you to know who i am.#they tell each other their most vulnerable secrets and trust the other to keep them safe#they're there for each other in their lowest most vulnerable moments#how seriously caleb takes things when hanna forgives him. how he sees her father's abandonment and what it did to her and tries so very har#to never do that again. how unrelenting hanna is when fighting for caleb who has been disposable his entire life#how they mirror each other and understand one another; these similar themes of abandonment and heartbreak#how they know each other better than the other knows themselves sometimes#how utterly foundational they are to one another#you guys used to draw strength from each other
