I don't care

"So, what about me being a demon. I'm a freak!"

"I don't care. You're still so nice and you make me happy."

"But your burn mark-"

"Forget the mark. I like it."

He half smiled.

"Trust me."

"I do trust you. I don't want to hurt you though."

"You don't hurt me."

"But later on, I might."

"I don't care."

"You don't know Gabi, I could physically hurt you out of anger or just this stupid curse. I can't help it. Every time I touched you, your arm starts to burn!"

"Calm down. It's fine. I'm fine."

"I'm just so scared about this. I don't want to hurt you."

I pulled him into a kiss but he pulled back.

"Your arm will start to hurt."

"My arm is fine."

"No, it's not. I can see the pain in your eyes."

I stayed silent.

"See. It does hurt! And the more we continue, the worst it gets."

"I don't care."

"I'm hurting you."

"No. You're not. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me!"

He sighed.

"I don't care is all I can say. Cause it's true. I love you and you get pain from that. But I'm willing to take that risk."

It was silent for a moment.

"As long as you're prepared."
