 I saw him grit his teeth. "Ignore the pain."
 "It's kind of hard to when it's deep and- OWWW okay okay okay OKAY I GET IT" I yelled as he put pressure on the wounds.
 He sighed "You're so stubborn."
 "So are you." I watched his facial expression carefully, though hard to tell when that cheshire grin is there for eternity, along with the ringed eyes.

 "You're such a liar." A grin crept onto my face.
 He looked up at me angrily "Hey, what're you-"
 "Remember when you first met me?" I asked, my grin staying plastered onto my face.
 He pressed the washcloth slightly harder onto the cuts "Yeah.."
 "You said that I was caught in your game, but in the end, you are the one who's caught in my own game. My game of love, idiot."
