“You guess?” It’s said teasingly, with a small fake gasp. “I’ll have to find a way to remind you I’m always right about these things.”
Isaac isn’t the only one that has been keeping his distance; Allison has more or less been doing the same. For his sake, for her own. Things between them was never finished, not properly, and the fact that they’re from different timelines makes it harder. She spent a full year away, having dealt with her death and processing what she left behind. Isaac hadn’t, he was fresh from watching her die, and it felt unfair to hang around him if it caused him any sort of pain for something she wasn’t sure was there anymore.
But, nothing can change the fact that she will always care about him. Nothing will change the fact that she has missed him, that she’ll forever miss him. That he was an important part of her, that things were never resolved. She doesn’t know if they ever will, or what that looks like, but the unspoken language they’ve always had between them that has made them go in and out of each other’s lives with a fluidity that has always felt natural is still there. It’s both comforting and confusing, and it’s what makes her stay leaning against him like this, shoulder to shoulder.
Glancing towards him, she can’t quite hide the smile on her face that’s a little more relaxed now that he seems less on edge. “Those were nice, too, I guess,” she teases with a smirk. “But I guess this just means I get to show you how to protect yourself as a human, even if it’s temporary. It’s not so bad, I promise.”
