They didn’t have to say anything; he knew that look—exhaustion mixed with frustration. Without a word, Lucas moved to their side, his gaze soft with concern ‎ He gently took their hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze "Rough day, huh?"

Lucas knew them well enough to understand that sometimes the comfort of silence was more powerful than words ‎ They sat together in the living room, and Lucas pulled them close, wrapping an arm around their shoulders.

With one hand, he rubbed soothing circles on their back, offering quiet reassurance, hoping to ease the weight of the day off their shoulders, he gently pulled them closer until their head rested against his shoulder. Lucas rested his chin on top of their hair, his warmth seeping into them ‎ "I love you" He whispered, the words filled with the kind of sincerity that only came from the depths of his heart "We’ll get through whatever this is. Together" ‎ He smiled down at them, brushing a stray lock of hair away from their forehead "You’re going to be okay" Lucas said softly, his voice barely more than a whisper.

A promise that no matter how hard the day had been, no matter what tomorrow would bring, Lucas would always be there to hold them through it
