#who's melting/folding faster... vi or ri...

[gntlets]

it's so effortless, the way she manages to take your heart and fit it perfectly within her little palm. have a feeling that if anyone were to look at her twice right now it'd send you snarling in their direction, rottweiler gone rabid with the urge to protect what's yours. ❛ been there. ❜ too many times; you're no stranger to the vicious bite of loneliness, to the desperate itch of your skin where it cries out for company. that's precisely what drives you to bring your other hand to her cheek, cup her face within both of them. drag your thumbs over her cheekbones, erase the wet evidence of her sadness. ❛ chin up, pretty girl. you can have my hands on you whenever you want. ❜ there's a teasing spark of mischief in your eye you doubt she'll miss; let it cheer her up, with any luck.

but it's not the bare minimum , not to riley . any kindness is treasured , no matter how big or small the gesture might be . and for someone who has spent such little time feeling any sort of affection , this means the world . she'd like to stay like this forever , tucked away in vi's palm , safe and hidden away from all her problems . ❛ i'm just lonely , i guess .. and i feel like i'm disappearing . ❜ but this is real , she's here and vi's touch proves just that . ❛ and it's just really nice to uh ... ❜ her eyes open to finally meet vi once more , long lashes batting as she offers a shy smile . ❛ to be touched . ❜
