Blinking, but doing as he was told, he cautiously sits down on the edge of her bed, watching with wide eyes as she laid back down against the pillows. Hearing her request, he was shocked she would ask such a thing, for him to...stay with her. Wouldn't she be better off asking Sebastian for that sort of thing, he seemed to be the kind of guy who would stay standing guard all night long over someone sleeping, not moving an inch, or blinking at all. And yet, here she was...asking him for that.<br/><br/>"Um, w-well...alright...if that's what you want..." He mumbles, not quite sure what to say at that moment. Instead, he waited for her to close her eyes, before carefully scooting closer to her on the bed, heart thumping in his chest as he reached forward, slipping his hand in hers, still so amazed by how warm and soft her hands were. It seemed like time had come to a stand still, but that was not the case, and seconds turned in to minutes, which ticked by. Hours pass, and later Sebastian would come in to the room to find Theodore laying on the bed, curled up slightly, but with his hand holding onto Ellie's. Both of them looked peaceful, so instead of waking them, he leaves them be, shocked that something like that had come to pass. He'd talk to Ellie about it in the morning, once she'd awoken.
