Black Eye And Mind

"The couch?" he'd ask, "no, not the couch," he'd say, almost sounding serious, "take the bed, it's more comfortable," he'd finish with a tiny smile. "And you're not in my hair....well your fingers going through my hair isn't the worst feeling," he'd say, trying to cheer her up a bit.

"First take the damn meds," he'd say firmly, "it'll help with the swelling," all the fights he'd been in had taught him how to treat injuries. "School can wait, I'll hang out here...keep an eye on you if you need to stay later," he didn't mind her staying, hell he liked having her around.

He'd look her over, "tell me if you want me to grab you some blood packs or anything," this was definitely new to him, taking care of someone.

He'd snort a bit at her joke, "gotta get that excuse not to go and you're a pretty good one." The half jinn would lay besides her with a small sigh, laying besides a girl without screwing right before or right after, another first for him.

"Just rest, I'm not going anywhere," she was an odd girl, yet he found himself drawn to her, like a moth to a very pretty flame. He'd glance at her, he didn't understand it really, well he understood physical attraction, but this emotional stuff was new to him.

Perhaps he'd sleep a bit, perhaps he'd stay up to keep and eye on her, either way he wouldn't leave her. It seemed she needed him and maybe he'd end up needing her too.
