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.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[She groans]

Don' wanna...

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Just a little. Okay?

Then you can lay back down.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[More grumbling, but she eventually flops up with another groan, leaning heavily against his shoulder]

Hrgh...

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He gets an arm around her, gentle - reaches out the other, to take hold of one of the soup bowls and hold it to her lips]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[She just rests against him for a heady beat, wincing at the sudden change in orientation. But eventually she tries a tiny, tentative sip]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

...any good?

Straight from hell's kitchen.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Mm... Try it.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Leans in a little closer to take a sip]

Ain't bad.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

You should eat.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

You, too. You were in there long as I was.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Not quite as long.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

...yeah.

[A long pause; then he rallies]

Still. Still, you oughtta try and get your strength up.

[He holds the bowl out to her again]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

I will.

[She only rests her head on his shoulder, however. Her voice is soft]

...You, too. You're the one doing all the work. Should take care of yourself some.
