atlas's heart fluttered as ryann laid her head on his shoulder, and he relaxed to give her more comfort. his cheeks reddened yet again; he hadn't expected her to want to get closer to him. it made him relieved to know she trusted him enough. atlas could smell the sweet scent of her shampoo, felt himself growing calmer. when she uttered her thanks, he smiled.
"i'm happy i could help," he said softly. it was true; he'd been nervous that he wouldn't be good enough to confide in, but it seemed he did alright. "you've gone through so much, and you're so incredibly strong. i hate that you feel like you have to apologize when you get upset. despite what you may have been told or teased for"--his eyes narrowed at the students that had laughed at her previously--"it's okay to cry, and you're not weak or worthless or a joke. i've known you for less than an hour, but i can see you're tough as hell."
