Promise?

[Normally, she wouldn't ask. Normally, she's too withdrawn. Normally, she does her best to make sure she's self-reliant. But just in this moment, she can ask for reassurance, right? Her hand finds his and squeezes tight.]

Don't lose anymore arms, either.

[ normally, she wouldn't ask, and normally, shiro wouldn't promise anything that he isn't entirely sure he can keep. normally, he would promise to try his best—but right now, it feels like the most natural thing in the world to briefly tighten his arm around her. ] Yeah, I promise.

Good. Good.

[Pidge yawns again. It a small, almost kittenish sound. Settles into the crook of his arm. It's so easy to just lay here and slowly drift off to sleep.]
