[ The words come easily to 2B simply because she means them, and there's freedom in saying them. There's no holding back anymore, what with their connection to the Bunker severed. While the threat of YoRHa pursuers is ever-looming, 2B is free to fully explore her feelings for him, and the pieces all start to fall into place. She isn't one to lie outright, it's true. Even her lies of omission were simple necessities in the face of her duty.
Even if 9S decides to hate her, 2B knows that how she feels for him isn't going to change. It's only grown in the years she's known him, and she figures it'll only continue to grow in the years to come. Things are far from alright between them, and they likely won't ever go back to the way that they were before. But 2B silently vows to herself that she's with him until the end. ]
Hey, hey. [ She murmurs as he sobs, pulling him in and assisting in tangling their legs together. 2B slowly sits up, pulling him with her so she can more properly hold him. She's never been the comforting type, but for 9S, she can try. ] You don't have to do anything. It's alright. I'm with you.
[ Her voice is soft as she holds him close, her eyes sliding shut as she gently kisses the corner of his mouth. ] I love you. [ She says it almost like she's testing the way it feels on her lips, though it doesn't lose its meaning. It's a strange phrase, but she decides she likes saying it. It buoys something in her central systems, making her feel warm. ]
