Bound to you. (a Peddie story)

Comfortable silence

Eddie's POV

I was worried about Patricia, I had never seen her like this before, she was fragile and hurt not strong and untouchable like the Yacker I knew and loved. She slept in my arms every night since we found the note and she cried more than she talked, i might have to rename her Crier, not Yacker. Right now Patricia and I were sat on her bed, leaning on her headboard, both doodling in our notebooks, pretending to do business studies homework. We were still in our uniforms even thought no one else in the house was, it was past dinner time but for once neither of us were hungry enough to leave her room, nor could we be bothered to change or do anything useful. The silence was comfortable and reassuring. The only thing said by either of us lately ended in tears, and started with Rufus. It was 3 weeks until Patricia's birthday and she was sure this whole Rufus rising from the dead thing was happening on that day. She was so stressed lately, so unlike my Patricia, my Yacker. I was determined to change that.

"Hey yacker, i will pick you up at 7pm tomorrow for a date." i told her, tomorrow was friday, it had been days since fabian finished translating the note.

"Okay." she said, that was easier then i thought, this really wasnt typical Patricia.
