Just-A-Stick

Rex snuggled against his chest, feeling it rise and fall with each breath. she shut her eyes, keeping a hand intertwined in his hair. Think of something happy. them you're dreams won't be as bad. Rex concentrated on the feeling of the arm around her waist, grounding her, and holding her in place. She drifted off to sleep and did not dream.

Rex reached up, running a gentle hand through Daniel's hair. She foofed it out to the side and finger-combed it back into place. "Let me know if I should stop..." She whispered

"I can play with your hair? Or hold your hand..."

"Can you just close your eyes? Do you mind if i touch you?"

"Daniel. we are walking together, right? We are going to try together?"

Rex moved her hand to his forehead, looking into his eyes. "Why not?"

"I think you should sleep now." Rex stroked his jaw with a fingertip.

hehehe Anytime.

"That's good." She leaned into him, body relaxing.

"I know. I like just us." She looked into his eyes

She leaned into his touch, shutting her eyes as a tear slipped down her cheek. "Everyone. it was everyone" She was still whispering, as if she didn't have the strength to do anything else.

Rex shuddered, pressing herself as close to him as she could get. "They were trying to get me..." She whispered, voice hoarse.

"They're after me!" Rex screamed, body going rigid with fear.

Rex dreamed. all the memories kept flickering through her mind. her father, dead in the fire. the blazing piece of wood, falling across the back of her neck. the searing, blinding pain. her little, sweet baby sister. dead in the bloody hands of her older brother. her mother- the blurry memories of the happy times, before her mother got sick. before her father started drinking. before all the scars started appearing, all the bruises. before her brother got violent. every patient she had ever lost, came back, along with the screams of pain, as she could do nothing to save them. the farmer, run over by a wagon. the little boy, fallen from a tree, neck cracked. The girl who looked like her sister, shot through the gut with an arrow. they clawed at her, ripping her clothing and scratching her skin. She screamed, thrashing and trying to get away.

I agree readily, but Rex wants some to. She also want Daniel to kiss her

"Thank you." She closed her eyes, a faint smile on her lips.

I use all of my charming RP characters and convince you to hand over the sandwich.

"Will you rest with me? I don't wanna be by myself, and you're tired to." Rex reached out and touched the dark bags beneath Daniel's eyes.

"Well, I'd rather be unsafe and feel safe, then feel unsafe but be safe. I don't want anyone else. I want you."

"Thank you. I'll hold your hand and walk with you. We'll make it. Together."

"I love you, Daniel, and I want you to learn to love yourself. it's not an easy road... I've stumbled many times on it, but I keep walking... baby steps." Rex was content to stay like this- Safe in his arms- forever.
