Back at it Again (One-on-One)

She relaxed, nodding to herself.

"Good. You need to stay safe."

* * *

"...Give me your arms."

 

"That's a promise, Rhodes. Don't break it."

* * *

"Callie..."

 

She nodded before sitting up, reaching for her bag.

"I gotta type some stuff. That okay?"

* * *

"You're aching. Trust me."

 

She leaned against him playfully, brushing her fingers through his hair.

"You're sweet. Are you tired?"

* * *

"I'm your boyfriend."

 

She opened her laptop, her free hand brushing through his hair.

"Well, I'm going to be pretty boring for a while."

* * *

He beamed before taking her arms with gentle hands.

"Tell me where it hurts."

 

"Good," she said quietly, beginning to type. "We're a perfect pair."

* * *

He looked up with a raised brow before giving her a smile.

"You're blushing."

 

"Mm. Sleep, Landon. I'm going to be a while."

* * *

"You definitely are," he said, beginning to gently rub out the tension in her arms. "You're blushing."

 

"See you soon, sweet boy," she said, tying her hair back.

* * *

"Yuh huh."

 

Val paused in her typing, her fingers hovering over the keyboard. She looked down at Landon for a moment before gently sliding off the couch and draping a blanket over him. She headed to the dining room table and pulled out a chair, opening her laptop again and beginning to type.

* * *

"It's cute, if it's any consolation. It means you like me."

 

(Yoop!)

* * *

"I can tell. You're very scary."
