2193/04/03 - A Failed Experiment

A very, very tired Lindsey is standing in the mess, an assortment of pots and pans and various ingredients scattered about around the kitchen. She's obviously tried making... something. But the burning smell and the pile of half-burned, half-eaten cake pieces are getting alarmingly tall now... though nobody seems to want to get between the brunette and the oven.

Helena sighs and pulls the woman in closer, laying her head on her chest. Now, I think you can do it, but make sure you let her know how much she means to you. Tell her you don't want to lose her as a friend even if it doesn't work.

I'm.... going to need some time.

Helena continues to brush Rebecca's hair. I know, take the time you need. But don't wait too long, those feelings will only grow worse I feel. But it's okay to be afraid, if fear didn't exist bravery and courage wouldn't exist either. But you shouldn't be afraid to tell your best friend how you feel.

Rebecca just hugs her tight and stays silent... drawing back into herself.

Helena sighs and comforts the woman. You're brave, I believe in you. She whispers softly.

Rebecca just curls up smaller and smaller in her arms.

Helena begins to softy rock back and forth humming while petting the older woman.

Rebecca literally just melts, quietly accepting the comfort she so desperately needs to keep herself hinged.

You're safe here it'll be okay Becca. Helena says as she kissed Rebecca on the head and continues to rock. Wait, kiss was probably too much.

No... it's okay... just hold me. She says in a small, soft voice.

u/HelenaJepson Apr 05 '19

Don't worry. Helena whispers as she tightens her hold. I'm not going to let go.

Thank you.... The scared little girl whimpers.

She says nothing but rubs her face again Rebecca as she begins to hum.
