— as she held out her finger.

her eyes widened at the ring. blinking. it took a moment for her to process the act. the gift.

“ i . . . it’s absolutely beautiful. i don’t know what to say. ”

the archer was biting back her tears as she looked between the two.

“ it’s . . . it’s official then. all of us forever. ”

kate nodded —

a warm smile crossed her lips as she crouched down. giving the pupper some loving before standing up straight.

“ family dinner? it smells wonderful. ”

her cheeks flushing at the compliment.

“ so do you. well, you always do. ”

the brunette moved to settle on the couch.

The Polycule

The two greatest compliments to who he is.

The Golden Guardian, and the Peerless Archer.

kate walked through the door, settling her bow upon the couch.

“ something smells yummy! ”

burying her face against her neck.

she missed her.

grabby hands.

yawn.

she took a long nap.

“ i love you. ”

she spoke softly. head resting against her. taking a deep breath.

she sat, waiting with the ice pack against her lip.

she leaned into the touch for a moment. moving the warm water against his form.

“ let me take care of you. ”

“ i love you. all arms. everything. ”

she lathered up the loofa. gently scrubbing at his body as her eyes teared up.

“ i don’t care. i love you. ”

“ i promise. ”

kate looked up and nodded.

kate moved quickly into her arms. wrapping around.

“ i missed you . . . thought you guys would forget about me. ”

the brunette made her way through her door with a soft smile.

“ . . . hi. ”

she is looking for @thebrokensentry.bsky.social.

“ get in. ”

it was still her kurt. even if he was different. her love. her boyfriend.

and all she wanted to do was care for him. to help him.

kate started the bath. warm water as she helped him with the suit.

torn. ripped. blood stained. she’d fix it later.

“ some water. or a strong drink. ”

her arms softly wrapped around.

“ let’s get you cleaned up, my love. ”

kate held out her hands. looking up.

“ a nice warm bath and then we’ll clean your wounds. ”

“ already did. ”

she gave a small grin.

she shook her head, stepping closer.

“ who hurt you? ”

more . . . arms?

her head tilted.

she shook her head.

“ just a crook. ”

tackling.

“ i didn’t know where everyone was. ”

a small frown painted itself upon her lips.

“ you’re hurt . . . ”

the ice pack cast aside as kate stood, making her way over.

something was different . . .

“ what happened? ”

she blows a kiss.

an ice pack pressed against her eye as she sat upon the couch.

an empty house. a soft sigh leaving her swollen lips.

it’s raining today?!

the sky looks . . . weird.

kate stumbled a bit as the wave washed over her.

spitting out a bit of water.

“ oh shit! the waves are a bit choppy today, huh? ”

“ says my pretty girl ~ ”
