She considered him for a moment before leaning forward and kissing him, her hand coming up to rest gently on the side of his face. *** “What about eating? What if you have to pee?”
He kissed her back, savoring the moment as if it could be the last time it happened. His fingers brushed her jaw, and his touch was warm. *** "I'll eat your arm.. And go to the bathroom."
She pulled away slightly, shifting to kiss his neck. "I can't tell you... how much I missed you." * * * "But you're not allowed to leave my side, so how will you go to the bathroom?"
"Well, yeah," she said between kisses. "I missed you like crazy." * * * "Can you die from not going to the bathroom?"
She sat on the edge of the bed, clasping his hands tightly as she pulled away slightly. "I'm so sorry for everything." * * * "Please don't pee on me."
He gave her a tired but warm smile. "It's okay, Val. I just.. I want to go home." *** "I won't if you let me go to the bathroom when I need to."
"Do you want me to ask if you can go home tonight?" she asked, her head tilted in worry. * * * "And if I don't?"
She came back a little while later, looking slightly nervous. "Good news. They say you can." *** "Wow. First you threaten to pee on me, then you threaten to knock me out?"
"Yeah," she said, sitting next to him and tucking her hair behind her ear. "It's a relief." * * * "This isn't a good relationship."
She hesitated before giving him a smile. "I love you too." * * * "Threatening to beat me up and everything."
