OOM: In Raven's room

[creator_raven]

It takes Raven a long time to climb the stairs, even with Ace's aid.

He leans against the wall as she opens the door, and almost trips over a chair on his way to the bed.

Then he stands there, staring idly at the blankets, one finger rubbbing back and forth over the material.

He continues breathing.







Eventually he reaches up, and rubs at his eyes.

"Ace? I am tired, I think. Will you stay?"

"Always." There isn't a moment of hesitation.

Some things are that easy.

Raven smiles, at that.

For all that it's a tired smile, it is a very real one.

With Ace there, it does not take long for Raven to fall asleep.

And though he dreams of the darkness in the space-between, he is not alone.

It is enough.
