Peni was just lying in bed mindlessly when the portal opened.
She hadn’t eaten anything all day and she didn’t have an energy to get out of bed. She just wanted to go to sleep. SP//dr was asleep in it’s web across the room.
Noir emerged from the portal in all his monotone glory, “Noir!! Hii…” Peni cheered sleeply.
He sat on the edge if the bed, “You ok? Have you eaten?” She could’ve lied but there was no point. Noir knew her and she’d feel bad lying to him so she just shook her head.
He just acknowledged her and took off his trench coat. He lay down next to her and scooped her up into his embrace, “Eh, That’s all right. Tomorrow will be better.”
She just noded with a small smile.
They stayed like that for a while. Peni drew patterns with her fingers on Noir’s arm. She felt the bumps where his scars were. She knew them all by heart. She counted them all and noticed there were a few new ones.
Peni whispered, “Noir, did you… relapse?”
He squeezed her a little tighter, “Sorry I didn’t tell you. Thought you had enough on your plate as is.”
“It’s all right Noir. Just promise to visit next time you feel like that?” Her voice was quiet but Noir heard her, he always did.
“I promise.”
Peni feel asleep from the comfort and warmth of Noir and he soon followed.
