I Got A Story Book Of My Own • Tank Dempsey

19

For a while Love had been locked up in her and Dempsey's bed, though she was never alone. Everyone hung out with her at least once a every few hours, that's where her and Zia got a little closer. Having girl on girl talk. Even though Richtofen stressed over the books devilish action, he still took the time for her, Dempsey had all the time in the world for her and loved every second of it. Nikolai always brought her perk bottles and they would drink together, and Takeo would sit around and talk his wisdom to her.

"Well, you look like death." Zia observed walking over setting a wet cloth down on Love's forehead "it's a nice look on you"

"You're funny" Love sighed holding her hand over the wet cloth. It was cold, somehow because this dimension was so hot it felt like actual hell.

"Hey, I helped you out by making sure Richtofen or Nikolai didn't see your breasts doing surgery while you were legit dead." Zia rose her eyebrow "I should be thanked."

"Uh-huh, bet you hurt Herr Richtofen and Nikolai's feelings by doing so."

"Heh probably."

"Vhy am I being in conversation for?" Richtofen said standing at the doorway.

". . ." Both girls stared at him then said at the same time "heeeeyyyy"

"We weren't talking about you, Herr Richtofen." Love then said dragging her cloth covering her face "you're just hearing things"

"Uh-huh." He hummed walking over where he dragged a chair along sitting on the other side of the bed where Love laid on. "How are you feeling, frauline Hannah?"

"I'm fine, but Zia says I look like death."

"Because she does!"

"Vell...Frauline Ghafa iz not zhat wrong."

"HAHAHA! Told you"

"Man..."

Richtofen chuckles slightly "ahhh Fraus...sometimes you both together annoy zhe hell outta me, but zhe other times you two are entertainment." Both girls gave Richtofen that smirk while love fluttered her eyelashes "vatch it—I'll take zit back. Anyvays, do you feel like you could try to stand up instead of being bed bound any longer?"

"Sure."

"I'll get zhe others then." Richtofen got up from his chair walking out of the room where Zia whispered

"He's broken hearted he didn't see your-"

"I can you hear you, Frauline Ghafa!"

Zia and Love snickered their laughter hearing Richtofen's annoyed tone.

The group circled Love and Dempsey's bed, Dempsey stood the closest to her side. "If bleeding gets tzo much ve lay her back down, und we'll do mission without her."

"That's no fun"

"Do you want tzo die Frauline Hannah?"

".....it would speed up this process"

"Love, don't talk like that" Dempsey sighed, tho Zia in the back snickered trying not to laugh. She knows humor at least.

Dempsey grabbed Love's hands as Richtofen walked over on the side side of her, as the American pulled her up the German held her up by her waist and back. Blood slowly dropped down the side of her lip, she looked like a vampire. They got her standing and Dempsey gave her his jacket, since it had been washed prior. "Here Darlin'" she blushed grabbing the leather jacket using it to wipe the blood off her lip and chin.
