[ his embrace is as gentle as hers is rough, and he permits it all as if he had a choice in the matter. he needs to be steady now so he is, easily ignoring the rain pelting down around them as he holds her fast and switches his rubbing to her back, his cheek molding against hers as he understands and absorbs her fears as his own. ]
Okay. [ as if he'd deny her now, at zero hour. his other hand finds her waist and he clings on, trying to prove to her he's not going anywhere. for as much as everyone claims to need him back in reims, frank is starting to come to terms with jess needing him just as much - maybe more. and of course she'd shied away from it; had even vehemently denied it to his face. but he was supposed to parse through all of that and get here, right? ] But if we're staying can we go back inside?
[ a soft ask, murmured close to her ear. he tries to keep some humor in there to fall back on, but he isn't sure it translates. her grip is nearly bonecrushing and yet he's loathe for her to loosen it, wanting to stay just this way for as long as they can. but they should also get out of the rain now that their clothes and better judgment have been soaked through. he winds her hair behind her ear and presses a kiss to the side of her face before resting his boulder of a head on her shoulder. for all his talk, he could stay here forever. ]
