A bittersweet apology

Comfort for the lonely

Miss Furina I can fully understand if you don't trust me, I just wanted to express my appreciation for all you've done for Fontaine. Those words shattered Furina's trail of thoughts. She would have never tought the knave would be the first to show this much appreciation and sincerity towards her.

All the stacked up loneliness made Furina's mind foggy. The feeling of appreciation she so long yearned for was here and she didn't want it to leave.

So when Arlecchino was about to leave Furina's house in peace she was stalled. Feeling Furina's hands grasping for her arm Arlecchino turned around looking at Furina's beautiful tear filled eyes. Can you stay. Furina managed to say between the sobs of all her pent up emotions flowing out. A small nod was the only reply Arlecchino gave sitting back down and gently wiping a tear of off Furina's face. My dear miss Furina you shouldn't stain such a lovely face with tears.

Hearing those words that Furina never thought she needed to hear made her cheeks flush a bit. The same claws giving her nightmares before now seemed to be the most comfort she's had in five centuries. Arle do you mind staying a bit? Furina quietly asked the harbinger. Arlecchino chuckled softly hearing Furina calling her by a nickname. I'll stay as long as you need me to miss Furina. Tough maybe I should put the cake in the fridge considering you are more keen on cuddling with me than eating it. Arlecchino mentioned referring to the cake still on the side table while Furina was sitting cuddled up to Arlecchino. Oh right I almost forgot about the cake. Furina said right before yawning. Why don't we get the cake to the fridge and you to bed? Arlecchino said carrying Furina bridal style to her bed. Hey Arle how do you even know where all the things in my house are? Some thing are better left unsaid dear Furina.

Being sat on her bed Furina felt a slight bit of loneliness return seeing Arlecchino leave her room to put the cake in the fridge. She stood up to put on some pyjamas and got back into her bed turning her head to the wall. Falling asleep was as hard as ever every second felt like ten minutes had already passed to Furina. After what felt like an eternity Furina felt the bed shift a bit. What you really though I would leave didn't I tell you I'd stay for as long as you needed me to? Furina heard Arlecchino's voice behind her as the harbingers arms wrapped around her waist. Thank you for being here Arle. Of course miss Furina.
