He lifted his arm almost automatically to let LW in under the covers, setting it back down lightly over her waist as she got comfortable. Ren could feel her icy cold hands against his cheeks and she pushed his head up until he couldn't hide his gaze from her. She kissed him and he could taste his own anger as he let her, not pushing her away, his fingers digging into her hip, which felt too-thin beneath his hand, too fragile and too easily broken.

Ren's arms slipped around her, holding LW close, folding his wings down on top of them so that they were cocooned inside of the brown striped feathers, hidden away from the rest of the world, from anything and everything.

"I love you too," he said quietly, and settled his wings down, pulling LW close, and closing his eyes.
