Ruh Roh (One on One)

She frowned, folding up some laundry uncertainly.

"You should get some sleep... I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

 

She frowned, folding a pair of trousers over her arm and smoothing it with her hand.

"You shouldn't say that," she said after a moment, turning to set them in the drawer. "That shouldn't be how you're feeling right now."

 

She frowned, looking over her shoulder at him before closing the drawer with her hip.

"Sam..."

 

“I know you can’t, but... it’s not worth it. I’m too flimsy.”

 

“Flimsy. I get hurt easily and I can’t let it go.” She looked self conscious, looking down at the ground and rubbing her shoulder as she sat on the edge of the bed. “It’s too much trouble.”

 

She didn't seem to notice, crossing her arms.

"I know I'm flimsy. How many times have we been in this situation?"

 

She turned to look at him for a moment before leaning over and kissing him, her hand on his jaw.

 

"I love you too," she murmured between kisses, moving closer to him. "You know that, right?"

 

She draped her arms around his neck, kissing him deeply.

“Right now, you’re everything I’ve ever wanted,” she said quietly, resting her forehead against his. “You’ve always been. It’s just when you’re not you.”

 

She laughed sadly, pulling away from him.

“That exactly what they always say.”
