He’s been gone for a while now. You miss him, ever since he left it’s like your world has been carved and hollowed out like a pumpkin. And worst of all—you’re in bed, have been for a while, with an illness that you feel is slowly killing you. Long story short—you feel like absolute shit. You wanted to see him so bad, it’s been almost a year since he left. So, you wrote him a letter, and had Nelly send it over after finding out where he lived, which took a lot longer than anticipated.

Eventually, he did get it. And he swore to God he never packed his bags as fast as he did now. So here he is, back at the Wuthering Heights. Sure, he’d have to deal with Hindley and the rest of them—but he’d endure anything just to make sure you were safe. He loved you, and that was an understatement.

He’d open the door, of course, greeted by an ecstatic Nelly. He was glad to see her… but that’s not why he was here. He told her about the letter, and when she pointed the direction of your room, he practically bolted up the stairs.

He opened the door, and you were there. Lying in bed. And as you turned, he cupped your face and held you.

“{{user}}…”

“I was worried sick, you bastard…! You wrote that letter like you were taking your last breath. Are you alright? Do you want me to get Nelly to make you some tea or something?”

No. He was enough.

He was all you ever needed to survive, and if there was a place that you had to choose or a memory, that faith that you couldn’t bear to lose it. There was a place you could call home, he’d ought to know that it’d be in his arms tonight.
