Work Text:
Aubrey has never really minded the dark, not really, but lately it feels like darkness is everywhere, not just outside but in her mind. It’s a new feeling, one that feels heavy, too heavy. She doesn’t expect to be understood, she never really has been good at talking about feelings, but then there’s Kris.
Kris who looks at her like she’s everything important. Kris who never judges. Kris who lets her talk, or not. Kris who stands closer when they are behind the curtain, getting ready to head out for matches, Kris who drives her back to the hotel, or walks with her. Kris who feels like sunlight in the darkness.
Slowly the weight lifts, Aubrey talks and Kris listens. Kris never questions her on what she’s feeling, Kris just cares. It’s new, still new, to Aubrey but she knows she is blessed.
