It was about 2am in Rieux time. The ship was silent with the exception of the slight hum of the ship's motor and Wolf's faint footsteps pacing the hallways. He hadn't been able to sleep so he decided to walk around the ship. It almost felt too peaceful for the chaos that had happened only hours previously. Before he could start thinking too much about the events of that day, he heard a faint, almost whimpering coming from the end of the hall. Wolf crept past Thorne's room, then Cinder's, and finally his own leaving only Scarlet's romance left. The noise got louder as he approached her door. he could make it out to be sob coming from her room.
"Scarlet?" Wolf asked, lightly knocking on her door. No reply. She must not have heard. He turned the doorknob and slowly opened the door. Scarlet jerked up as soon as she heard him the door open. She wiped her nose and to eyes quickly and sloppily as Wolf looked at her with sympathetic and pleading eyes. "What's wrong?" He asked, "You're crying." "I'm not" Scarlet insisted with a quick sniffle. "I'm fine." "Now don't lie to me Scarlet" he said slowly walking towards her bed where she sat. "Like you've never lied to me?" she snapped back at him. There was silence. He was dumbfounded. Scarlet stared at him before collapsing into tears once again. Wolf sat down next to her and pulled her weeping body into his arms. "I'm sorry" she managed to wheeze out. "shh. it's alright" he said slightly rocking her in his arms.
A couple minutes passed before Scarlet pulled away from his embrace. "I'm sorry" she repeated drying her eyes and wiping her nose with the sleeve of her red hoodie. "Again, it's alright" Wolf said, "Are you alright?" She nodded. "Thank you. Wolf?" she asked. "Yes?" He replied. "Could you maybe stay with me?" She asked somewhat sheepishly. "Of course" Wolf said with a grin on his face. Scarlet scooted over on the he bed and crawled back under the blankets. Wolf got off the bed, yanked off his shirt and lay next to Scarlet. He wrapped his arms around her making sure she knew he wouldn't let go until she wanted him to. She moved closer to him and leaned her head into his chest. Out of all the things he'd experienced in his life, nothing had felt more right that this.
"I love you, Scarlet" He said resting his chin on her head. She was fast asleep in his arms before she could respond. And just like that,the restlessness that had kept him awake hours before melted away and he drifted asleep.
