Some Sevika comfort bc she needs it ♡

You felt the bed lift from her weight being taken off of it, it woke you up.

Why was she getting up? It's the middle of the night.

You slightly turned your head to look at her over your shoulder. Sevika was gone but the bedroom door was cracked open and a light shone through the slit from the living room. You layed there wondering if you should get up or stay in the bed, you decided to get up of course but slowly, listening to every noise she made however you could barely hear anything except the clink of a glass and something pouring into one. She was very good at keeping quiet.

Peeking through the gap in the door you could see her sitting on the couch, slouched over with her hands covering her eyes and she let out a long sigh. You pulled the door open gently and slipped through making your way to the couch and cautiously sat next to her.

She jolted up from her slouch and looked over at you.

"Oh- sorry if I woke you up" She prompted, grabbing her glass of whiskey and taking a sip.

"You didn't wake me Sev, don't worry, I couldn't sleep that well anyway, I take it neither can you?" You inquired in a soft tone looking over at her, taking in her messy strands of ebony hair and exhausted expression.

She scoffs and takes another sip from her glass, nodding.

"Why? Do you wanna talk about it?"

She thought for a moment, "Nah, it's nothing, I don't want you to worry about me" She gave you a small smile.
"Well, I'm worried now your not telling me" You pressed in a sort of jokey manner.

She stayed quiet, "I just- it's just memories- flashbacks- they just get bad sometimes, i-it's nothing, I promise"

She acted fine but she stuttered more every sentence and you could tell she was hurting. You remained quiet as you turned to face her and brought your hands up to gently cup her head and lean her into your chest in a hug. She froze right before she wrapped her arms around your waist and layed her weight into you.

"It's okay Sev, I'm here, nothing can hurt you here" you comforted in a hushed voice as one of your hands rubbed up and down her back.

She hugged you tighter and tears began to slip out of her eyes and she hid further into your chest to just sob. You were taken aback by this to be honest, you two had been together a long time but she's never really cried in front of you before. All you did was just hold her and comfort her for as long as she needed while she kept crying.

After a few hours she stopped weeping but you two kept in laying embrace on the couch, you brushed your fingers through her hair slowly and kissed her scalp every so often.

"Do you feel better now?"

"A lot better, thank you love" She sniffed.

"Anytime Sev, this is a safe place for the both of us. If you ever need to do this again just ask okay? Because I love you so much and I want you to feel comfortable around me" You cradled her head and rocked it gently.

She let out a sleepy 'mhm' and nuzzled herself under your chin and began to drift to sleep.

This was perfect. You, her and the ambience.
