[ support ] sender quietly sitting down next to receiver to let them know they're there // for Stelle
Caring Prompts | Accepting!
It was quiet.. it was nice, at times. Then at times, the silence of it all was overwhelming- some even to the point of wanting to yell simply to break the noiselessness. Tonight thankfully was not one of those moments.
But she was still restless.
Stelle wasn't even sure her what was bugging her.. well- what in specific was the current, main worry. The rest of the Astra Express crew were off by themselves, understandably so as it had been night- or what passed as 'night'- and everyone was either asleep or winding down to get some rest, which was perfect, cause she was sure that if there was any more commotion or sound the lass would break.
Originally it had just be her and Pom-Pom, who only briefly asked as to why Stelle had not gone to her room to sleep like everyone else. She only replied that she wanted to watch the stars, which was half true. Pom-Pom seemed to accept that answer, wishing her a good night and happy star gazing. Then she was by herself for some time, just keeping her gaze out the windows-- sometimes actually looking at the colors and movement of the cosmic entities, though primarily zoning out, not really seeing anything.
Then she heard gentle footsteps.
She fought all the humanly base instinct to sate one's curiosity and to see just who came out, focusing her eyes forward. Stelle silently prayed whoever it was that they'd just ignore her- or better yet, not notice her. The longer the quiet continued, the more her hopes had raised. However, she must not have been paying that much attention to the surroundings, as the individual had walked all the way up to her spot on the sofa, and even sat down right next to her. She wouldn't deny that it made her jump, head snapping to finally quell the question of who--- Dan Heng.
But... he didn't say anything. A smile came and went quickly as he stayed and did not speak. The raven haired man's general body warmth providing a pleasant tingle down her skin- only then making Stelle really notice how cold she was-- which happens when you come out in just your shirt and shorts, jacket abandoned on her bed.
A full minute went by, and realizing that Dan Heng was respecting her desire for silence, she relaxed, even leaning against his side and putting her head carefully on the lad's shoulder. She then let out a deep, long breath- one the lass had not even noticed she had been holding the entire time. A gentle, brisk, pleased hum followed as she returned her sight back to the stary sky as she thought to herself.. Dan Heng really is way too perceptive.
And she wouldn't have it any other way.
