[ yang tries and fails to hold back a hiccupping sob, weakly shaking her head to disagree. ] It's okay. Nothing to blame yourself for. I wanted to tell you, but....

[ the timing had never been right. months of separation after the fall of beacon, bushwick farms and the apathy, argus, adam, atlas.... even here, there'd been one horror after the next. pulling blake aside to talk--really talk--felt so small in the grand scheme of things. ]

I never knew how.

[ blake understands, of course. it had always been one thing after another. she gently tilts yang's chin up to look at her, going in for a kiss, even if she can feel tears starting to fall down her own cheeks. ]

I'm with you. For as long as this place lets me, okay? No matter what Sodder or Remnant throws at us.

[ later, yang will think of this moment when before stepping through the lighthouse door. there are good reasons to stay and help everyone adjust to their new lives. but it'd be avoiding the work left behind at home. a distraction is a distraction, no matter what good intentions lie behind it.

and nothing's going to distract her from the possibility of a life with blake. nothing.

so she kisses her like the world's ending (which it is, twice over). she kisses her like she loves her (which she does so much). ]

Same here. Nothing's keeping me from you. [ she reaches up to brush away blake's tears with her thumb. ] And if Sodder or Salem or whoever else thinks differently, they got another thing coming.
