[he lowers his eyes and echoes that sigh with his own, relaxing]

[ she runs her fingers through his hair a couple of times and then sets her hand on his arm, giving it a little squeeze. she looks from the stars to him and smiles. ]

[he smiles back, though it fades after a moment, and he just stares up at the stars, quiet and contemplative...]

[ she keeps on rubbing his arm as she joins him in looking up at the stars. she's looking for any constellations she recognizes, but she's not sure if they'll be here, because hell. ]

[after a while raven speaks up, quietly stumbling a little bit because it's not his native language, and tries to form a sentence in korean]

You are my sword and shield.

[ glides her hand down the entirety of his arm, so she can eventually take his hand in hers and bring it to her lips for a kiss. ]

And as your sword, shield, and girlfriend there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you. [ keeps his hand close and shuts her eyes for a moment. ] You’re my heart and soul, Raven, the fire that not only drives me, but also comforts me.

... say it again? Slower. I didn't catch all of it.

...ah, of course. [ she says each word more slowly. ] I said that you're my heart and my soul and that, uhm, you're also the fire that drives and comforts me.

[he slowly plays over the words in his mind, translating... and then gives her a smile]

Fire, am I...?

[ she turns several different shades of red as she nods. ]

...y- yeah, like... you make me feel warm and fuzzy a- and I like to think that you're also helping me become better, stronger. IjusthopeImdoingthesameforyou.

Don't mumble. I want to hear everything you have to say.

[ but mumbling has spared her dropping dead of embarrassment. ]

I, ah, I said...

I just hope I'm doing the same for you. Like, [ urge to mumble rising. ] affecting you in a w- way that you, uhm, you think is... good...

[ this isn't fair. she can't look down because he's there!!! ]

I love you, Raven, and I'll say it now and forever. And I'm not going to let anything happen to you, e- even if it means doing something stupid... as I... as I tend to... but it'd be worth it for you.

... you do affect me. If you were wondering about that. I... don't know if I have the precise words for how you make me feel, except for... safe. Protected. Loved.

...it might have crossed my mind, [ for reasons. ] but it's alright if you don't have the words. I have definitely been in a position where I can't really put my feelings to words... especially since, like, in some cases I think there aren't words strong enough.

... if... you and I had chanced upon Vergil, in that hotel... would you have killed him for me?

Yes. [ especially since there's a very good chance vergil would have said the stuff he said to d.va to raven and that would just be unacceptable. ] He's not allowed to hurt you.

[his jaw trembles for a second and he turns his head, tucking it into the space where her thigh meets her hip]

[ she hesitates for a moment, but then sets a hand on the back of his head. ] ...no one's allowed to hurt you, Raven.

... it isn't fair to place all these expectations on you. You carry so much weight already, and I... want to lighten the load for you, if I can.

But I am so... afraid.

If you’re afraid, then I’m not going to pull back in the slightest. I’m going to protect you from those who may have even just a passing thought of hurting you. I want you to feel safe, always.

...then maybe we can just talk about things. Keeping it all to myself is just... it’s a lot. That’ll surely help if you’re up for it.

... alright. If you ever need to release your demons, I'll be there.
