Luna didn't punish him. It was a hug…
But her arms were a bit stronger than expected for someone who had no intention of hurting him. He still hadn't anticipated it and so he didn't have time to decide how to react before he was already there, his face against her hair, her arms locked around his back with the persistence of someone who has been waiting to do something for long enough that when they finally can, they don't measure the force. The side of her face pressed into his chest.
Ren deflated for the second time in under a minute.
Luna was crying.
Not the dramatic kind… The quiet kind, the kind that comes out when someone has been holding something back long enough that when it finally goes, it goes without warning or control.
He felt the dampness against his chest before he fully processed what it was. He stood there for roughly two seconds with no idea what to do with his hands.
