[Rose slowly wraps her arms around Bro. And now she's actually sobbing. Because she didn't have these all her life from Bro, and this was such a ridiculous way to finally get it. And she just felt so incredibly weak and dumb. That this all amounted over a tiny insecurity that latched onto her.]

I wanted to make you so proud you'd come home. I thought if I just became the best at everything, you'd hear about it and return.

I was foolish.

[He's surprised when she hugs him. He... wasn't expecting that. He isn't complaining by any means! But she's been so guarded that he would've expected her not to want anything to do with hugging him, or showing any affection. But that doesn't stop him from giving her a squeeze, leaning down to press his face against her head softly.]

I've always been proud of you, e-even when I wasn't there... Rose, that's not foolish at all, either. But... But your mom used to send me letters, pictures, and every time I saw you, I was so proud of who you were becoming. I'm proud of who you are. I love you, Rosie.

[She buries her face against him. I hope you don't mind eyeliner. Rose has eyeliner on, sorry.]

Every Christmas I ask Santa for the same thing. I didn't even believe in him. [But she asked every year regardless. In hopes.]

[plushaeusrumpified]

[He doesn't mind. Not at all. He strokes her hair slowly, quiet for a long moment even after she speaks. Bro doesn't know what to say. He wants to make her feel better, but it honestly doesn't feel like there's much he can say that will actually help at this point.]

I'm here now though... And I ain't going anywhere. Ever.

[seeringlight]

[She makes the most pitiful little hiccups as she tries to reign her crying under control. She must not be so weak. :(]

What if you do leave? What if something happens and you decide otherwise? [What if she still isn't good enough for you to stay for her sake?]

[plushaeusrumpified]

[He doesn't know how to prove to her that he won't leave. The only thing he can do right now is keep holding her and show her that he isn't going anywhere.]

I can't convince you... All I can do is show you. Prove to you that I won't go anywhere, day by day. We'll take it a day at a time, but I fucking promise that I won't be going anywhere. You may not think so now, but hopefully I'll eventually make you believe I'm in your life and I'm staying.

[seeringlight]

[She doesn't mean to be so skeptical. She wouldn't mind if she were less so, but it gnaws away at the back of her mind, festering and eating away at her conscious.]

I'm tired. [This entire ordeal was tiring, she's found.] Today has been a long day.

[plushaeusrumpified]

[He's tired too. It's been a longass day, and he's mentally, emotionally and a bit physically exhausted. So when she says that, he nods.]

I know the feeling. D'you wanna go back to my room and sleep? I mean, if you didn't wanna be alone or something, y'know?

[seeringlight]

No thanks. I can sleep in my dormitory fine enough.

[She thinks enough damage has been done for now. She didn't want to cause more unneeded grief right this moment.]
