[She says it so easily, so simply, as if it should be obvious. The corner of her lip twitches up into a brief smile beneath his hand, her head turning to press her nose against his palm. He's here, with her, and that's all she ever could want from him. That he wants to be there for her, not just physically, but in every other sense -- it means the world to her.
She couldn't imagine being here without him. She doesn't want to imagine being here without him.]
So just... stay here with me.
[She shifts a bit, wrapping herself more securely around him and burying her face between his shoulder and the couch again in a visible sign that she doesn't really want to say much more. She just wants to be here with him, for as long as they're allowed.]
[While it's clear that Scott isn't fully happy with her response, he relents, figuring that they'll come back to this later on. Maybe when everything is less raw, when she might feel a little more ready. Yeah, that's probably fine. As things are now, he doesn't want to spoil the mood, especially as she requests for him to just stay with her. He can do that, without question.
It seems like she really needs this. Maybe that's her own way of asking for help-- or comfort. He won't deny her that, he couldn't, really.
So, as she moves closer, he's already meeting her halfway, positioning his body against hers that's so natural at this point. He really doesn't need to have his eyes opened for that. His arms gently wrap around her, one around her waist, while the other returns to its place against the back of her hair, fingers gently running through red strands as he keeps her close. Not that Kotone needs protection, but he likes to think that he's securing her anyway. Just their moment, without any outside interference.]

...I'm here, always. Whenever you need me.
[They promised.]
