Celeste couldn't understand why he not only dragged Celeste to the girl's bathroom, he also came in and cleared the bathroom out. He'd also picked up all her things including esme.
Ryker couldn't really understand why either but he knew that he didn't want her sleeping in a vulnerable spot.
Ryker didn't speak as he picked her up and sat her on the window seal causing Celeste to gasp as she had never been picked up. At Least not in the last ten years.
Celeste was frightened, she began to feel herself become teary except this time she was gonna force herself not to cry. She couldn't, not in front of him.
Although she was frightened , she couldn't help but find a little comfort in the silence.
Ryker jump up on the window seal as well. Putting her stuffy inside her bookbag that was in his hand still. Keeping quiet for a moment more before he began speaking for only the third time today.
"You shouldn't sleep in places like that." He said looking straight forward before he took a glance at her to see if she would reply.
" I-I just never h-had to be around so m-many people, I just wanted r-r-rest." Celeste said embarrassed at her actions and her horrible stutter. She just hoped he would understand.
" mhm, be a good girl and don't do it again it's not safe." He says making sure to look in her eyes, he wanted her to really understand.
Celeste quickly nodded and turned away from him not wanting him to see her blush.
Good girl. She thought.
"Come to me when you're tired."he said gently, grabbing her chin and allowing her to look into his eyes.
"Hmm?"He hummed , raising an eyebrow at her.
"Yes"Celeste said immediately as blush appeared on her face once more. Nobody had touched her like that with such gentleness. Ryker had also never touched somebody like that, but he knew she was easily frightened and sensitive to things.
And for the next half an hour, Celeste just sat there leaning on the window dozing off once again.
Celeste didn't realize it but she had never gone to sleep without esme in her arms except today with Ryker.
The bell rang loud causing Celeste to immediately pop her head up letting her eyes adjust.
Ryker hopped down noticing Celeste waking up.
" I'm leaving school." He said not really knowing why he felt inclined to tell her that but he did.
Celeste also didn't know why suddenly it felt as though a weight laid upon her chest hearing his words.
"O-okay" she said quietly not wanting to sound disappointed but Ryker immediately took notice.
" I'll be back tomorrow"Ryker said, he wanted to take her with him but where he was going wasn't a place for her.
" mhm"Celeste said, still sitting on the window seal.
" Let's go, I'll walk you to your class," Ryker said, grabbing her waist gently before lifting her and sitting her on the ground. He then grabbed her bookbag, grabbing her thin arms and placing it through the loops.
Taking her soft and pale hand into his own before making his way down the hall with him following closely behind.Now Ryker and Celeste stand in front of her history class. Even though history had been her favorite subject she didn't wanna go. A pout now lies on her lips.
"I'll walk you to your seat"Ryker said, noticing her pretty pouty face. He didn't give her a chance to reply before opening the door.
Ryker walked her all the to the back where he made sure nobody was around her knowing that she would be nervous to breathe if there were.
He sat her in the corner, not noticing everybody staring at him and her. But Celeste did of course and she didn't want him to leave. Tears began filling her eyes knowing that once he leave everybody will be able to see her.
Ryker gently lifted her chin again looking into her teary eyes.
"You're okay, baby" He whispered to her not meaning to let the pet name slip out.
"I'll be here to take you to your next class, hm?"He said wiping the tears that fell on her pretty face.
Celeste barely heard him but she made sure to nod.
"Words"Ryker commanded, wanting to hear her say it.
"Yes" Celeste said before closing her eyes and taking a deep breathe. Celeste watched as Ryker walked to the front of the class. Before he left he stopped and looked at everybody in the class giving them a glare.
"Nobody looks, touch, or breathe by her."he said before taking one last glance at her in the corner.
Celeste was so thankful everybody immediately turned another way acting as though they hadn't been looking at her.
And for the rest of the class she couldn't think how'd she repay Ry.
1 hour later
Celeste waited in the class patiently for Ryker.
Ryker speed walked to the class, he wasn't gonna come back to the school at all before but he felt as though Celeste would end up getting herself hurt if he hadn't.
Ryker walked into the classroom finding Celeste just as she left him. Such a good girl, he thought as he went to her.
"Come on"he said holding his hand out to which she immediately put her hand in his. She liked how they felt against her own skin. They were rough but soft at the same time.
Ryker didn't wanna be at school anymore and he wondered if Celeste would go with him since he already handled his business. "You want to go to your next class?"Ryker questioned knowing the answer but just wanting to confirm.
Celeste shook her head quickly but then realized her mistake."no"she said as they already began walking through the halls.
Ryker led Celeste outside while Celeste just completely allowed Ryker to do whatever he wanted without any thoughts in her mind.
"You don't leave school with anybody else."Ryker said while leading Celeste to his truck. He stopped and looked her in the eyes making sure she heard him before he opened her door and picking her up putting her in the car.
"Seatbelt"He said before closing the door. Celeste anxiously put her seatbelt on, wanting him to hurry and get in the car.Ryker opened his door a made his way to his seat.
"W-where are we going?" Celeste asked, turning towards him as soon as he settled in the car.
"Somewhere you can sleep" Ryker said, looking at her sleepy eyes. Celeste just replied with a hum.
(Skip the drive cause who feels like writing that.)
Celeste had realized they were at some sort of park or field.
Ryker had taken Celeste to the park so he could emo joy the scenery while Celeste slept.He turned on the air and cut the radio on. "Come here" Ryker said, reaching his arms out for Celeste. He didn't know why but he enjoyed picking her up almost as much as Celeste enjoyed getting picked up by him.
Celeste allowed him to sit her on his lap in a straddle position.
"Sleep" Ryker said, leaning the seat all the way back so they both can lay comfortably. Celeste got comfortable and yet she still hadn't closed her eyes completely.
"What is it?" Ryker said without looking down at her, Celeste couldn't understand how he always knew.it was like he could just sense her distress without even trying.
"Esme"Celeste mumbled embarrassed about her needing her stuffy. She pointed to her book bag that was sitting on the seat.
Ryker leaned over unzipping her bag before taking out the stuffed animal. Celeste was about to grab it but then he moved his hands quickly where she could reach. "Next time you ask." Ryker said, waiting for her reply.
"Okay" she said, reaching for esme once again except this time he gave it to her.
They both found themselves sleeping peacefully in the arms of complete strangers.
