#when she found him bruised and weak on the basement floor #it was all light touches #the team surrounding the two of them #her hands sweeping across his face #grasping randomly at him when thoughts that this was just a dream forged its way to the front of her mind #no words were said #but so much was said #short glances #her eyes taking in every inch of him #he watched as each flash of emotion played across her face #and how each would quickly disappear to only be replaced with another #barely in control #it was not till later #after all was said and done #that he found her crouched over in a hospital chair #hands in her hair #elbows resting on her knees #her tired body finally allowed to be tired #he took in every inch of her #wanting nothing more than to have her in his arms #so he pulled her onto her feet and crushed her body to his #her head tucked into his neck #her soft curls lightly grazing his cheek #he felt her let go #her silent tears and tight hold on him #he took a deep breath in and then let it all out #let his body shake #let his grasp on her bring her closer #he let himself cry #as she whispered ‘i love you’s’ into his ear
