His arms went around her with ease, holding her flush against him. One arm encircled her shoulders while the other wrapped around her back, his splayed palm resting on the small of her back. He breathed deeply, reveling in the contact—it was more comforting than any words could ever be, and as he leaned down to rest his chin against the top of her head he felt a warm, buzzing sensation wash down his body from the crown of his head to the tips of his fingers.
He allowed his eyes to shut, and if he'd been laying down—he ignored where else that led his mind to, current situation considered—he was positive he'd have fallen asleep immediately. But she was still panicking, so he instead focused on her breaths and the rate of her heartbeat, currently pounding so hard that he could feel it just by holding her like this.
At first, he didn't catch her meaning. He lifted his head and angled it down towards her, his brows furrowed in question. But before he could ask, and before she could explain herself, the meaning hit him, and his stomach dropped.
"Does it... hurt... there?" he asked, finding himself growing more anxious with every muttered syllable.
