WR just collapsed into her arms, wrapping theirs around her and shoving their face into her shoulder. They started to cry.
"I'm so fucking tired, of feeling, of being stalked around every fucking corner, and seeing their stupid fucking faces everywhere I go. I'm a weak fucking failure, I don't know why h--" They choked up, at a loss for words. They buried their head deeper into her, and just cried.
Finally, they were letting it all out.

She clung to WR, letting them cry into her shoulder. She didn't bother to correct what they were saying for a moment, waiting until they dissolved completely into tears. When she spoke, her voice was soft, soothing...
"You're not weak, and you're not a failure... and it's okay to be tired, WR. That's okay. You can be tired..." She gently started to pet their hair, pressing her cheek against it. "But you're not alone."

They continued crying into her for a few minutes, but eventually built the strength to pull themself away. They shakily wiped the tears away with one hand, before wrapping it back around her.
They sighed deeply, then mustered a weak smile.
"There's a lot of shit happening right now, some of it I can't tell you about but I just- I don't want to lose you, Grem. I'm tired of losing people I love. I just - I can't fucking go through that again."

Gidget moved a hand to gently wipe some of the remaining wetness from WR's face, leaving her hand there to cup their cheek for a moment. She smirked, giving a shake of her head.
"Ain't not a damn person gonna pull me away from you," she said, with significantly more confidence than she necessarily had. She laughed slightly, then shook her head, leaning over to place her forehead against WR's.
"I know you and Drake think I'm some fucking fragile little flower... and maybe I am. But I'm working on that. I'd rather know what I'm up against so I know how to prepare than not. One day... You won't have to protect me anymore, because I'll be able to protect myself. And I know there's a bunch of shit going on... I know a hell of a lot more than either of youse seem to think. Maybe one day you'll be able to tell me, but I'm okay with you not wanting to yet. I'll wait."

WR pushed their cheek into her hand, and smiled, this time effortlessly. They stared into her eyes as she spoke, and just for a moment, all of their worry and pain washed away.
"Gods, you're so fucking special," They chuckled, some redness returning to their cheeks. They sniffled some.
"You're not weak, for the record, if I could tell you everything I would in a heartbeat." They cursed internally at Drake. If they weren't legitimately afraid of his capabilities, they would tell her everything with no mind for the consequences.
"But hey, I'll let you in on another secret. Wanna know my real name?"

Her smile matched WR's, and she brushed her thumb gently across their cheek. A slight blush touched her cheeks. There was that word again... Special. It sent a warmth through her entire body and she relaxed a bit more.
Chuckling, she nodded. "Sure. Promise I won't tell anyone else. Unless you say I can, of course."

WR closed their eyes and took a deep breath,
"Well, I'll tell you the first part. It's Willow. Will for short."

Gidget nodded. Willow... or Will. She wrapped her other arm around WR's shoulders, placing her cheek against theirs for a moment.
"Willow, hmm? I like it. I like Will too. But most of all, I think I just like you... no matter what your name is."

WR rolled their eyes. Gidget's sappiness was cute.
Their face turned even redder now that their heads were so close together again, and they smiled at the closeness. They wanted to pull her even closer, but unfortunately, that wasn't really possible.
"Thanks, so much. Really. This means so much to me." They murmured, as if embarrassed.

She grinned, feeling triumphant. She wasn't sure if her line would work and was kind of proud of herself... as if she were the first person ever to think of something so cringe-worthy, ever.
"Eh. It's whatever." She pulled back enough to look at WR, her eyes darting over their face, as if checking for other injuries. "Whatever is going on, you don't gotta tell me. But I'm going to pester you and bother you. You're not gonna get rid of me. You know that, right?"

They chuckled.
"I knew that the first time you called me an idiot," They shook their head, smiling. "I just gotta work on... me. Can't save the world if I can't save myself, so, I'll work on that. Promise."

She shrugged her shoulders, still smiling as she looked at them. She really didn't care if WR saved the world... or if she even really cared if the world got saved. It was just a world. Apparently, there were plenty of others.
(Bad joke, Gidget. Bad.)
"Well, you ARE an idiot," she teased. "But that's okay."

“No, I’m your idiot,” They retorted. Apparently, the sap was contagious.
They finally pulled away from her and plopped back on their butt, spreading out their legs.
“So... what now?”

"Well. Now, I'd suggest telling me if you have any other wounds that need to be tended to, since APPARENTLY you need a nurse to pay attention to you. THEN, you should get a shower. And wash your hair." Gidget reached out to run her fingers through WR's hair before making a face and chuckling.
"And.... after that, how about a movie? Netflix and chill?"
She snickered. Apparently, WR calling themself HERS made her brave. Not that she would actually TRY anything... They hadn't even kissed yet. Sex wasn't exactly on the table, which she was okay with.

WR was a bit taken back by Gidget's straightforwardness, but after she offered a movie, they chuckled and jumped to their feet.
"I got bruises elsewhere but they're just bruises, so, they'll heal. Make yourself at home." They said while they snatched a slice of pizza from the box and headed to their room. They shut the door behind them.
They spent the next fifteen minutes or so showering and fluffing up their hair.
