[He just wanted to hear it. Some kind of reassurance that she wouldn't just leave him. Regret her choice.

So again there is a little more of a genuine smile, his eyes so soft before there is just a subtle shift as he regards her.]

...You, too.

[Once more brushes her cheek with the crook of his finger.]

Should you ever need it, you can always fly and rest your wings with me.

[The distance between them closes a little more, until their just a hairbreadth's away.]

I won't let you fall... I won't let you go.

[Just like him, she may never reveal everything that bothers or troubles her. She may try to do things on her own, just like he still will. That's just their nature. However, just as he will also try to lean on her more, he wants her to lean on him. Wants her to feel safer and come to him when she needs it.

Share those burdens.

And perhaps, the more often they do, the more likely they will.]
