I smile an pulled away a bit, shaking some hair from my eyes. "I think that we should find.. a wheelchair or something so I can get out of this bed." I said with a faint chuckle, a few moments later.

"Are you allowed to do that?" I ask, raising my eyebrows.

"Maybe?" I asked biting my lip for a second, still smiling a bit. Honestly, I wasn't sure, but probably not with my luck.. but as long as I was careful.. I didn't see the problem.

"Shouldn't you maybe ask somebody first?" I ask. "I really don't want you doing anything that's going to... mess things up."

".. Maybe." I said again with a faint nod. I just didn't really want to. "Can't we just think of it as I'm a healer, so I can just tell myself it's alright?" I asked before actually asking myself that question in my head. I sighed and shook my head. "Nevermind.. I probably shouldn't."

I give him a look, raising my eyebrows and shaking my head until he evidently agrees with me.
"I don't think you're allowed to be in charge of your own medical care, no."

"I guess it's probably not the best idea." I said with a small nod. "I'm just so sick of being in this bed, Arden.. Now that I know I'll be able to leave, I wanna leave now."

"Well, I'm not saying that you absolutely can't; I just think that you should ask somebody first." I shrug slightly, then lean forward and kiss him on the edge of the mouth before I can think better of it.

"You're right." I said with a faint nod. "I probably should." I thought about it for a moment, but before my thoughts got very far, she leaned closer to me and kissed me. I paused for a moment, staring back at her for a few seconds. I wasn't sure what I should be doing, so I didn't think much about it when I leaned a bit closer to her and kissed her lightly back for a second or two.

I know that I shouldn't be doing this... as per usual with Riley... but I kiss him deeper anyway and funnily enough think more about how happy I am that he's alive than about whether or not it's really okay.

More than likely this situation wasn't going to end well, but like usual, I didn't want to stop kissing her. And since I'd just recently found out that I wasn't dying, I let myself keep kissing her, kissing her the same way back she was to me.

I break the kiss after a moment but don't pull away, not quite looking at him. "... Sorry," I say quietly, hoping belatedly that he doesn't take that the wrong way because for once I don't think I regret this and all I'm really apologizing for is... I don't know.

"Do I ever let you apologize for that?" I asked with a fain smile and chuckle. I wasn't even sure what she was apologizing for actually because she hadn't exactly pulled away.

"Not that I recall." I smile slightly back, hesitate slightly, and pull back a bit. "But maybe you should accept this one, just in case it's needed." I bite my lip slightly, a little bit worried that I may have just hurt him again.

I watched her pull back a bit more, letting her, still smiling a bit. "If you really want me to, but I don't think it's really needed."

"It could be," I say again, shrugging. "I don't want to do this again until I'm sure... and even if I'm ninety percent, that's not good enough... is it?"
|

Post by Riley Pearson on Apr 4, 2009 4:06:32 GMT
I shrugged faintly back, pausing for a short moment after she's said that. "Ninety percent's pretty sure if you ask me." I said a moment later, slightly surprised by this still. ".. But I guess it's up to you if it's good enough.."

Post by Arden Patricks on Apr 4, 2009 4:14:38 GMT
I look downward for a moment, biting my lip, and then shrug again. "Will you hate me if it winds up that the ten percent takes over? I know that you should, but will you?" My guess, of course, is no... but who the hell knows?

"You know I can't hate you, Arden." I said shaking my head faintly. Not to mention, ninety percent was much in my favor.. not that I was too lucky with things like this.. and with situations with Arden. "It's impossible." I'm sure I'd be upset that she chose Logan again, but I definitely wouldn't hate her.. and I'd try my best to keep things as less awkward as I humanly can.

"Yet another reason you're too good for me anyway," I say, shaking my head, then kissing him again. I honestly don't know where this has come from, because it almost feels like I've bee planning it for a while.

"I'm not too good for anyone." I said shaking my head faintly a moment before she kissed me back again. I kissed her back and moved an arm loosely around her.

"Shut up, you're an idiot," I mutter, breaking the kiss briefly before putting a hand to the back of his head and kissing him deeper. I'm half-scared I'll hurt him physically as well as emotionally what with the recent near-death experience, but for the moment I won't worry about it too much.

"You could have a point." I said shortly after she broke the kiss briefly, deciding to just agree with that for some reason. I smiled faintly and kissed her a bit deeper back.

Of course I have a point, I think about saying but don't, opting instead to just keep kissing him.

She pretty much always had a point, so I wasn't really surprised when she didn't reply again. It was sort of a given.. plus, I didn't much want her to pull away. I moved a hand lightly to the side of neck and continued to kiss her back, hoping no one else decided to visit, cos that would be a bit awkward.

Nice as this is, there are still some things I think I need to say, so eventually I break the kiss again.
"Just so you know, I love you. And I was thinking of doing this even... before, but I wasn't sure it would be right."

I let her break the kiss and smiled some at what she was saying. I knew that she loved me, but saying it after she kissed me was sort of confusing, even though it probably shouldn't be. But I was assuming that it meant she really loved me.. maybe closer to how I loved her?
"I love you too." I said back to her, looking in her eyes. ".. It probably would've been okay.. with me, at least."

"'Course it would've," I mutter, shaking my head. "But that doesn't mean that it would've been right."

I gave a faint shrug, pushing a piece of her hair behind her ear as she spoke. "Maybe the right thing isn't always the right thing to do.. if that makes any sense.." I said quietly.
"So," I paused for a moment. "You really do love me, then?" I asked her a moment later, looking at a spot on the floor before back up to her. ".. Like I love you?" I added to clarify what I meant.

"Apparently," I shrug, not wanting to analyze it too much and think of it that way because Iu'm afraid I'll wind up concluding all over again that I really don't. I'd rather just say thyat I love him, and know that I mean it, and not think.
"And no, that doesn't really make any kind of sense."
