"You need to get better. Look, the best thing for everyone right now is for you to focus on you. Not only because you could make yourself sicker by going out, but also in case Tassek comes back."

Terezi might disagree with that. I sat up in bed, resignedly, and twisted the sheets in my hands. I can't focus on me, this issue's much more important. Who knows what might've happened to him? What if he went to find another vampire to turn him? What if Spyders snatched him again?

She moved and sat next to him, placing an arm over his shoulder. "It'll be okay." Ivory spoke. "Just relax."

🌀

I let out a breath and a small whimper went along with it. But if he doesn't come back, Terezi will blame me for not keeping a better eye on him, and I don't want her to hate me again, I don't, again, what are you talking about, she's always hated you. She never stopped. 'Asshole', 'creepy', 'prick'. Disgusting, getting too close to her, that's why she moved back out you know. And took Anndrea with her, she didn't trust you around her. She never has.

●

She heard the whimper and frowned. Surely, but slowly, she wrapped her other arm around him, and gave him a tight hug.

2015-09-25 04:08:07

🌀

She hugged me. I ducked into it, and tried to calm down. Does Terezi really hate me? I haven't talked to her in so long. I sniffled and let go of the sheets to hug her back.

●

She held onto him tightly, not saying anything. There was no need to. No words. Just...hugging.

2015-09-25 04:15:13

🌀

I miss her, I miss Anndrea, I miss Josette, I miss them all so, so much.... I'm just a stupid nostalgic. But I get to see Ivory so often. I was lucky.

2015-09-25 04:20:47

●

Gently, she rested her head on his shoulder. It's okay. She was here. That's all that mattered. Right?

2015-09-25 04:22:09

🌀

"Right," I whispered.

2015-09-25 06:08:49

●

She smiled softly. "I thought so."

2015-09-25 06:32:32

🌀

"You did." I cradled her as my fever flushed against her cold skin. I still don't quite understand. After everything, everything I've done, everything I am, she still keeps coming back. Either she's very stupid, or she really does care about me. And she's anything but stupid.

2015-09-25 06:35:01

●

She then noticed the warmness of his skin. "Here." She moved slightly, and placed her cold hands on his warm cheeks. "This might help a bit. Not much but...I guess being dead has its perks."

2015-09-25 06:38:51

🌀

"That it certainly does. ...thank you." I put my hands on top of hers, for once enjoying the cold.

2015-09-25 06:41:30

●

"Anything for you." She smiled slightly.

2015-09-25 06:42:34

🌀

Not anything. I knew that now. But anything that made me happy while still breathing. I dazedly smiled back, closed my eyes and rested my forehead on hers. Ah. That felt much better too.

2015-09-25 06:45:38

●

Her smile grew. Silence. Just silence. No need for words. Just their breathing.

2015-09-25 06:49:28

🌀

His eyes remained closed. He fell asleep pressed up against her.

2015-09-25 06:50:12

●

She soon noticed his slowed breathing, and returned him gently to his previous sleeping position. However, this time she remained next to him. Phone in hand, she went back to her book, occasionally glancing over at him.

2015-09-25 06:54:29

🌀

He stayed asleep for the best part of two hours. When he woke up, his fever had broken. He reached up to wipe some sweat off his cheek before opening his eyes.

2015-09-25 06:58:54

●

Once she glanced over and noticed he had woken up, she set her phone down again. "Hey." She greeted quietly.

2015-09-25 07:01:40

🌀

"..mnnh....hello....am I feeling better?"

2015-09-25 07:03:31

●

"What do you think?"

2015-09-25 07:04:19

🌀

"...I think I'm not as dizzy or hot. That's probably a good sign...."

2015-09-25 07:05:16

●

"That's good at least. I'm not...making you cold, am I?"
