She was glad that her story helped to ease a little bit of the tension that he was feeling, and she couldn’t help but smile when he returned her kiss. After their shared moment, she moved her hand back to his back, continuing her small circles and mines across his skin. A small smile appeared on her face when he attempted a laugh, shrugging. “Actually it shorted the socket, I poured It everywhere, my mom couldn’t help but laugh.” She laughed and smiled fondly at the memory, her eyes landing on his. “I thought I was clever, she thought it was funny.”<br/><br/>When he looked her in the eye, paying her the heartfelt compliment, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes with a smile, shaking her head. “Now you’re just full of shit.” She rested her forehead against his, snuggling closer. She couldn’t help but blush at his compliment, but she thought teasing him and giving him a little hit bit of crap for it. Maybe her lighthearted joking would help him relax. She didn’t know what she could do to help him fall asleep, to shake the anxiety and the fear that he felt, all she could offer him now was her comfort. She only hoped that was enough.<br/><br/>Everything he’d done thus far had been for her, and she couldn’t ever find a way to repay him, so helping him sleep would have to suffice. She carefully pulled him closer, wrapping her arm around his torso, holding him close to her. She hoped her embrace would help him to get a little shut eye, and her hand continued to run its path across his back. In the back of her mind, worry began to form as she thought of the man who escaped. He belonged to the East Side, and she worried that he would return to his home only to bring another crew to come looking for her. If it ever came down to that, she’d do anything and everything to keep Arc safe. If they showed anytime soon, she’d have to make sure to redirect them. Arc was going to have a long, long week or two ahead of him, and she needed to make sure that he had the peace he needed to heal.<br/><br/>“Try and get some rest, okay? Just try to, I know it’s difficult.” She pressed further against him, holding him tightly in her embrace, her eyes fluttering closed. She kept fighting sleep, opening them now and again to stay awake, but it would prove to be difficult.
