Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He takes a shaky breath in - rubs along her back, careful]

Hey... it's cool. I got you. I'm here.

[unbr8kable]

[Presses in closer, face warm and a little damp--wraps her arm around his back to tug him closer, too]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Goes where he's urged, settling in against her - presses another soft kiss to her hair, because she's here, and she's mostly in one piece, and he can]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[From how she holds on, those are plenty fine reasons. She speaks, lifting off enough to be understood this time, though her voice is small]

...Thank you.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

...hey. Anytime.

[His hand hasn't stopped moving, slow and steady]

After all that, you deserve to take it easy for a while.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Dunno about that. But--but thank you, for being here, with me.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Ain't nowhere I'd rather be.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[She squeezes more tightly, flattening herself against him as if seeking as much contact as possible]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He curls her in closer still, hand gentle on her back]

I got you. Okay?

...I got you.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[She shakes her head, not pulling away any]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Another kiss to the top her head, just as gentle]

[There's a long, long moment of silence before he says:]

...sorry. That I couldn't figure it out.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Wasn't your fault.

[A pause]

...Sorry for making you feel like it was.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

You didn't make me feel like nothing.

I... wanted to. I wanted to get you guys out without you getting hurt.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

The game was rigged from the beginning. Somebody was gonna have to get hurt. ...Glad it wasn't you, for once.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Kinda wish it hadn't been you, either.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Yeah, well. Can't say I disagree.

[She brushes her nose and lips over his neck, as soft and tentative as her voice]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He presses one to her hair in turn, just as soft]

Maybe they'll give us a break for a while. This one was pretty intense.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[She shivers and curls in closer]

Y-yeah...maybe.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Fingers crossed, right?

[The hand over her back hasn't stopped moving, slow and steady]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[She makes a non-committal noise and just curls against him, selfishly enjoying the cool circles of his hand over her back]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[They go on for a long, long time, smooth and steady, endless moments]

[Then, finally, soft:]

...I better get you something to eat before you sack out.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[The mumbled reply this time is even more distant, her muscles lax and breathing slow and even, fingers curled loosely in his shirt]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He hesitates for a long moment - hesitates longer, debating. At length, he reaches to fumble his phone from his pocket]

M'gonna get it delivered. Kay? Neither of us gotta go nowhere.

[He taps something at the screen]

Whatcha feeling?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[Another half-sleeptalk reply...at least he knows she is not a picky eater]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[A beat or two of silence, and then he taps something in]

[A moment later, the food is here: riceballs and miso soup, with tea and water]

Kay... c'mon. You gotta sit up a little. You can lean on me.
