"you know that gareth means gentle in welsh?" a scoff leaves him, stormy blue eyes rolling. "that's a bit far off,"

        her hands- gentle -move to cup his cheeks, giggling as she reaches him. she doesn't understand how he couldn't see this. the softness, the tenderness. it's all she can find when she looks at him, shrouded with other things. " not, like, far off ... probs', like, close off! "

        willow? everything in the room bleeds black, shadows dousing every surface and climbing further. it's wrong, and it only gets worse when she sees willow pressed into the corner. her stomach twists with dread, afraid that this must be a shadowed, scarlet version of the willow she had held only days ago. but it's not. she glows like moonlight, still, except she's shivering. except she looks sick beyond sick. except everything is wrong.

        she pushes against all of it to reach her. the scarlet ribbon, the shadow color that's taken her hair and eyes. allie grabs her with such an intensity that she worried it'll feel like claws, but it doesn't stop her. allie hugs her, tight and warm and squeezing even when she doesn't mean to, her fingers press little pink dents into the cold skin. everything is wrong, and she doesn't know how to ask. she's scared to say anything, or to try, or to think, or whatever makes willow understand. she's scared to shatter the room, the space. book spines in dark browns and purples threaded with bursts of pastel colored petals, glitter tracing the shelves. a red rose, wilted, tangled in willow's hair. she can't find the life in it, she can't find the life in anything besides the barest beating of willow's heart. allie can't hide the fear, and it manifests into something shaped like words. are you dying? you feel like... death.

Allie? Willow whispers. Somewhere in the real world it comes out as a scream. It must, because all she's been doing for the past two days now is scream. Her mouth agape, air passing in hot short bursts out of her control. Somewhere in the real world, she's weeping into a pillow and begging to be suffocated by it. But here, she's simply curled up in the corner of the room, wherever this is, and shivering. As if her only problem is the cold. Is that you?

Her lips aren't moving, she realises. They're speaking silently, without their lips -- or at least she is, unable to speak and scream and whisper all at once. The pain comes in waves but she's not conscious so the effects are dampened. Her eyes droop, her hair is stuck to the sides of her face. Willow shudders,

What's happening?

        she loves him, she loves him, she loves him. and allie doesn't care if he never says it back. never ever, and it wouldn't matter. he likes her, he thinks she's pretty, he touches her, he lets her take him places. does anything else matter? the only thing she could ever wish for is that he would tell her more. but even that sounds silly as she thinks of it. this is something, isn't it?

        " oh, he's pretty, harry. " she sighs, dreamily, her voice gentle as can be and carried by the sweet spring air. she continues leading him towards the horse, held in a trance herself. allie feels as if she's dancing the both of them towards the pretty horse. it's easier to breathe here, and she finds that it's in time with the horse's own breathing. allie turns to him, only half and brief, " you don't have to be scared, he won't run, you just have to be gentle. not even, like, super duper gentle! it's so cool, i love it here! i wish it could be like this all the time, but people aren't very nice, sometimes, i dunno' know why. and- and then ... " petals purse, and she squeezes harry's hand once before she feels the tight feeling in her stomach wash away, smiling wide as they reach the horse. the fairy girl lets go of his hand, slipping away to carefully brush her fingers over the horse's ears and head, scratching gently. " i can show you how! if ... if you don't know, i can. "

harry  shook  himself  out  of  his  coat  with  a  boyish  eagerness,  his  eyes  alight  with  something  akin  to  wonder  and  glee.  he  swayed  willingly  into  allie’s  grasp  on  his  arm,  raising  his  hand  to  curl  his  bare  fingers  around  hers.  her  laughter  seemed  to  make  the  grass,  weeds,  and  wild  flowers  lean  into  her  as  well.

          harry  followed  her  as  she  tugged  him  towards  the  horses.  his  chest  felt  both  tight  and  light  with  excitement.  they  were  far  bigger  in  person  and  there  was  a  scent  he  was  learning  came  from  their  unbrushed  coats,  earthy  and  warm.  harry’s  blue  gaze  swept  the  herd  as  he  and  allie  approached  them,  one  or  two  raised  their  heads  curiously,  others  wandered  behind  each  other  but  there  was  one  near  the  back  whose  eyes  were  dark  as  night  and  harry  grinned.  ❝  that  one,  ❞  harry  breathed  as  he  pointed  to  the  stallion.
