His heart felt heavy- heavier than his footsteps as he padded softly on the floorboards, trying desperately not to make any sound.

He didn't like doing this. He hated doing this. But it was something he had to do for her. To keep her safe. To keep her as close to him as possible and for as long as possible.

It currently didn't seem to work though. All this was driving a wedge between the two of them. And god, how they both hated this space between them, the space that kept getting bigger and bigger.

Scott sighed, rubbing his face. He walked upstairs, gently pushing open the door to your room. His heart sped up when he saw you, it always did. Almost an year and he still couldn't have enough of you. He felt his heart break into pieces as he saw you bundled up in a chair, asleep. You had been waiting up for him, yet again. And he had kept you waiting yet again.

Scott debated whether he should carry you to bed and risk waking you up or just let you sleep on on the chair- you looked so peaceful.

He kneeled down in front of you, pushing the hair aside and off your face. His eyes were wide, drinking in every little of your features- your eyelashes resting over your cheeks, the faint scar right above your left eyebrow, or the tiniest freckles around your nose.

He was worried. God, was he worried. He was worried about you and him. He was sorry for the way he was distancing himself from you, but it had to be done. He was sorry that he'd let you down, that he wasn't good enough, that he could not protect the people of Beacon Hills.

He was scared that you didn't like him anymore. And your thoughts weren't way off this track either.

Scott pressed his lips to your forehead. He breathed in your scent- sweet but not very. You hated a perfume too sweet. His forehead now rested against yours, his eyes closed as he tried to stop his eyes from watering.

A shaky breath escaped his lips as you touched his face, caressing his cheeks. You tilted his head upwards when he looked down.

You'd never seen him cry. He'd been through hell and back, but you'd never seen him break down. And it broke your heart to see the boy you adored fall apart in front of you. You could feel the pieces of your heart fall and disappear into an abyss of emptiness.

You didn't know exactly why he was crying. Maybe he felt the same the way you did. The need to save what you both shared. Something so beautiful, precious and intimate.

Pushing off of the chair, you made Scott stand up as well. Leaving him to stand alone in front of the chair, you quickly went to grab the track pants he slept in. You handed them over to the troubled boy and he went to the bathroom to change.

Not a word was exchanged as Scott got into the bed with you. You pulled the blanket over your bodies. Scott wrapped his hand around your torso and buried his head in the crook of your neck. You faced the other side, your back pressed to his chest.

His silent tears flowed down his cheeks and onto your neck. You lay there in this same position for god knows how long. He was so vulnerable right now. But even the greatest of heroes need to let it all out sometimes.

When you could finally feel Scott's breathing even a little bit, you turned in his arms to face him. His doe eyes opened to look at you, flitting all over your face. Your fingers found their way into Scott's hair. As you ran your fingers through his hair, you pulled his face closer to yours.

Both of you looked into each other's eyes one last time before you pressed your lips together.

And just like every other kiss the two of you shared, this wasn't just a kiss. It was a promise. A promise to stay with the other, to be there for them whenever they needed you.

"I love you," Scott said, his breath warm on your face.

"I love you too."

And you did. And that was the reason the both of you were willing to fight for it, the reason you were willing to go through hell and back.

And you would always worry.

Because you loved him. And he loved you.
