Apocheron we still talk about you 😣
calling all scaredy-cats to the front: if you identify as such, apocheron needs and will get her hands on you... like right now. turn around.
as much as she wants to (and does) keep you safe, protected, and happy as one can be during a zombie apocalypse, something deep, primal, and exhilarating is tickled in her whenever you get frightened and turn to her. lets hope i havent made this point before but rlly idc cuz i can't stop thinking about this because acheron is crazy for the way you reach out for her arm to make sure she's still there with you like she reaches nirvana when you shuffle closer subconsciously. this is her purpose. truly. when the world has gone to shit, she still has you and she'll keep you alive for as long as she breathes.
when the two of you hunker down in a safe spot that's secure enough for no one to be obligated to keep night watch?? it's her favourite. because you always without fail end up sleeping just the teeniest tiniest bit closer to her when the night gets eerily quiet. she sleeps facing the entrance (just to be ready for anything crazy), so the times where you move to press yourself against her back, shes up in the same exact second and shes memorizing the way you feel snuggled up against her. when the two of you are close enough, UGHHH bc she's waking up right before you just to stay up, turn around, and cuddle you to her chest. you cannot move. you will not move. not unless she says so (well.. more like not until you ask) ((she'd do anything))
i can't stress this enough guys, acheron wants nothing more than to be your protector. whenever your stomach flips as she yanks you behind her to put herself between you and danger, she's feeling just as crazy inside i promise i promise i promise.
