OLIVER
That comments earns a grin on his face. ”You did? Awwww, Aisha.” He leaned in ever so slightly, clearly both touched and immensely amused by this. It’s a playful, light teasing and he absolutely adores it. If only he knew that it was the blanket from when they first met. Oh how he’d love that.
Her response is fitting and he shakes his head, letting it settle down there.
Then she opened up.
Watching, Oliver listened and nodded. The delicate hands pulled at her hair and released a ribbon, one he had seen countless times before but never mentioned- why should he? Oliver had learned that some people aren’t able to be open immediately. Aisha had showed that when they first met and he never dared to step over her- to force her into something that made her uncomfortable or feel worse.
It’s a touching story and Oliver can tell it means a lot to her. It doesn’t give him a lot of information about her past, but it does give him a window into who she once was. It shows him what’s important to her. Knowing every little detail about her life wasn’t important when he got beautiful moments like this one. Her last comment only made things even better.
A light blush danced on his cheeks and he smiled at her. ”It... it means a whole lot to hear you say that, Aisha.” His hands want to grasp forward and offer her a hand to hold, but he waits instead. ”You know... if there’s ever anything you want to say or ask, you can. I’m here and I can listen or speak however much you want me to.” His band moves to rest on the bed, hinting at a small bit of comfort if she wants it. A small idea even comes to mind, but he silences it. Because.... yeah it’s probably too awkward.
