Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Okay. Okay.

[A pause, then she untenses a little, careful. Silence for a long beat.]

Then--if you don't mind.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Course I don't mind.

[The arm around her shifts position - makes to lever her downward]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[She scoots down to mostly flat, looking over to him as if for permission]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[His smile is achingly soft, and he settles down next to her, winding an arm around her]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[Too readily she huddles in, tucking herself against him]

...Sure this's okay...?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He pulls the blankets over both of them, tucking her in close]

More than okay.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[She sinks against him with a sigh, face pressed against the cool of his side for a long while.

Eventually she rouses a bit, faint]

...But you didn't eat nothing.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

S'cool. We can nap a bit and I'll grab something when you're feeling up to the riceballs. How's that sound?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Should at least have the soup. Ain't good when it's cold.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

I dunno, dude. Kinda hard to make miso soup gross.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

'S right here. Don't gotta get up.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

...you gonna rest better if I do?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[She nods against him]

...Don't want you hurt just 'cause of me.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Ain't gonna kill me to wait a couple hours.

But... if it'll help you sleep, some.

[He levers himself back up on one elbow - gropes over to the side table, for the soup. It doesn't take long for him to drink it down, throat working in a couple of long swallows]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[She cracks open her eyes to watch him finish before nudging against him, soft]

...Thanks.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Nudges back, just as gentle, before setting the bowl aside and lying back down next to her]

You're the one looking out for me.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

You done all this for me, even when...

[She trails off. Some time after she curls closer, carefully wriggling her good hand into his shirt, to touch his skin]

...Just sayin' I 'preciate it.

[

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

...even when what?

[He curls her in a little closer - doesn't seem to mind, when her hand works its way inside]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[She seems to loosen up some the longer she feels the rise of his breathing, though her voice stays low and soft]

...When 'm this pathetic.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

...hey. You ain't pathetic.

[His hold tightens a little more, almost protective, as though he could somehow fight her words]

This is - this place is a lot.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[Muffled against his side huffs out something that isn't exactly a laugh, but isn't that far off, either. Another pause, then, softer]

...Dunno what I'd do without you.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

...same. Sometimes I think - I woulda never made it this far.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

I think you woulda done good. You made it through this far already.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Only cause I had you.

[He swallows, with effort - presses a soft kiss to the top of her head]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Made it through plenty before you did. Don't you take yourself for granted, neither.
