“ eh , we’ll , you can’t blame a guy for trying to make everything about himself ~ , “ obviously joking , releasing her hand before shifting himself in bed once more . “ oh ! hey — “ bringing a vase of yellow roses near him , offering one to her , “ thank you —

a gentle smile , albeit appearing a little — sad . he squeezed her hand , “ . . i know . i know . “ not really , but — he knew paloma could read him like a book . “ i just . . — / please / , be careful ? please ? for me ? “

* / FOUND IT

“ and then got yourself put where i am right now ? i could never forgive myself . “

“ paloma — look , i’m not trying to say you aren’t capable of handling yourself , you are ! but if you got caught up into something because of how stupidly reckless / i / am ? “

he opened his mouth before closing it . she wasn’t wrong . “ . . right , right . you’re right — sorry , i’m not thinking straight . it’s a good idea . “

dcad ears . “ it’s not that , it’s if you get caught in the crossfire ! besides , when a lot of blasting starts going on , / most / birds fly away , “ nod said , pointedly , giving the woman a firm look .

“ no , nonono — “ a quick shake of his head , “ if they spot you they’ll shcct you down . there’s no way in / hell / i’m putting you in that position . “ paloma was strong , and he trusted her to handle herself , but this guys had placed nod on dcaths door . —

nod relented with a smile , leaning back into the collection of pillows meant to prop him up . “ just anxious to get out of here . and to figure out what the hell those guys were up to , “ he added , the second part a bit more quietly .

“ what does it look like ? “ said with a grin , of course . he isn’t attempting to be rude . “ i had to get the bandages changed today . and / geez / they wrap this shit tight , “ an uncomfortable shift in his bed .

( a laugh ) i’m not really sure how much i deserve that title with how many stupid stunts i pull . cool stunts , but still stupid .

i mean , sure ! but also i can’t imagine hanging around your injured friend all day is lot of fun ~ .

FUCK YES IT WORKED

he placed a kiss on top of the woman’s head , “ thanks , paloma ~ . i hope so . if i’m gonna get myself into this much trouble i might as well make myself useful , “ a grin , before turning back to stack the books up once more . “ wait , seriously ? are you sure ? —
