Home Safe

You didn't stop. You kept running and running, no matter how much your throat screamed or your heart throbbed. You begged your legs to let you go a few more steps, just a few more steps. If you stopped now, he would find you again . . .

Your legs were threatening to give to out on you. They had been for the last five minutes. But you dared not let them stop. You were almost home.

Almost home.

Almost safe . . .

And you crashed through the door and collapsed onto the floor. You lay there, for a while, making miserable attempts to catch your breath. Your throat was too dry to even let you cry.

You stiffened as you sensed a presence near you. You felt a soft tickle on your face. Something rough and wet flicked at your ear.

Tongue.

You screamed and leapt to your feet, grabbing your ears. Taroumaru scrambled out of your space with a whine.

Door.

The door.

You whipped around and slammed it shut, dropping all of your body weight against it for extra measure. Was the door locked? You didn't think so. You fumbled around the key to make sure. It was so hard to do with shaky hands.

You sensed another presence nearby and braved a peep out the window.

Was he there?

You could barely see through the lashing rain. But you could still sense him there. You shuddered and yanked the curtains shut.

"Y/N? What's wro-"

You jumped around to face your boyfriend who immediately stepped back a safe distance from you. The two of you just stood where you were. It gave Thoma the time he needed to take in everything: your violent shivering, the way you gripped onto the curtains, the pure terror in your eyes . . .

His face melted for you. He raised a timid hand towards you.

"Wanna come here?"

You don't know why you hesitated. You slowly slid your fingers into his hand inside of grabbing it like you normally would. Thoma carefully closed his fingers around your hand and slowly reached out with his second arm. He allowed you to step over to his body at your own pace. He wrapped his arm around you, squeezing your shoulder when you didn't respond.

"Shall we sit down?"

You nodded meekly and let Thoma walk you towards the living room. He did it gently, though you could sense an urgency in his footsteps. Taroumaru followed you, rubbing his head off your leg.

As soon as you were down on the couch, Thoma wrapped a blanket around you, reminding you how wet and cold you were. He hurried around the room, shutting the curtains and starting a fire- he could do it so quickly, even without his Pyro Vision. All the time, you sit there, shivering, staring down at nothing. You didn't even respond when Taroumaru jumped onto the couch and pawed at your blanket, whining for a bit of attention.
