[ no fuss is really put up about her trying to shield him - can't, really, when the people who hug you most are two smaller women that remind you that you don't have to do everything alone. it's a newly familiar comfort, and he allows it, if only because he can also express without words the fact that he appreciates it, that he trusts her, that he'll do everything he can with her to help them get out of this fucked up situation.
having his emotions laid bare has been exhausting, the same as his memories, but at the same time... helpful. there's no fancy words, no need to play at being alright. just everything there.
he gives her a firm squeeze in response to the kiss, nodding in understanding against her shoulder. it was bad.
but they have each other, and the rest of their dorm, and the people here. they still have things they need to do and people to protect. ]
