His plate was in the sink, food eaten, and he was curled in a ball on the couch, eyes closed.

"Hey." I crouched down by his head, and he opened his eyes and stared at me. "Give me your hand."

He held out his hand, and gritted his teeth as I cleaned out the cut.

I wrapped it up, and got onto the couch next to him. He sat up with a little laugh, and laid back down, his head in my lap.

"I love you... Thank you for staying with me..." he mumbled, eyes starting to close.

"Of course. I- I kind of like you too, oddly enough." I played with his hair.

"Really?"

"Really. You know, You should get some sleep. I'll sleep next to you if you want."

"In your room?" He turned his head and gazed up at me, tired, but happy.

"Yeah, Jack. If you want." I smiled down at him.

"I like it when you call me Jack... It makes me feel human. And your eyes are really pretty..."

I laughed, and kissed his forehead. "Come on. Get up. Lets go."

We went to my little room, and laid down staring at each other. I don't even remember falling asleep.
