with their back against the bed from their position on the floor , cahira seemed to stay silent asides from the sound of their shaky breaths , they didn 't know what caused the sudden overwhelming feelings to crash over them — although perhaps their own nervous and shaky usual demeanor didn 't help cahira shiwen here either . thoughts ran through their head , hypothetical what ifs fed through their fear . their hands trembled , vision blurring as they stared down at their fingertips before their gaze snapped up at the sound of a door opening . perhaps in any other circumstances they would 've got up and crashed into his familiar presence , yet the fear instilled in them from their previous . . . home had them refusing to rise to their feet , much less utter a word .
it seemed as if they were trying to make themselves as small as possible with their knees up to their chest and arms instinctively wrapped around their own torso , their gaze fixated on the floor below them before slowly trailing upwards and over to ceri . ❝ w — wait , ❞ their voice merely a whisper as they called out to him finally , celeste hues casting downwards and retaining their previous spot on the floor as if it was ordered for them not to look at the other . ❝ can . . . can you stay here , just for a l — little . . . ? ❞ they didn 't dare speak up again after that , whether it was out of fear , nervousness or something else had been unknown to cahira . . . but had they really wanted to know ?
