Curtis and Edgar, initial treatment and visiting hours

[simon_doctor]

It's been a rough day for Curtis and Edgar. Fortunately, the Milliways infirmary is definitely set up to handle hypothermia and exposure.

I am where I belong. By your side.

They've been teasing each other with those thoughts, emotions, feelings for weeks now. Gentle caresses of longing limned with licks of heat. She devours those thoughts, revels in the clarity the new bond provides, and he can feel her own longing singing in response.

In answer to his growing sleepiness, she gives him another soft look. "Here. The bed is plenty big for both of us."

A moment later, she's crawling up beside him, gingerly insinuating herself into the crook of his arm.

Oh.

His smile grows as much as his windburned face will allow. Curtis scoots back enough for both of them to get comfortable. Just as carefully, he curls his arm around her, rests his cheek atop her head.

Even here, he doesn't have to sleep alone.

"Night, Dejah." Love you.

"I love you, too."

She relaxes against him and he can feel how safe she feels, nestled against his side. Even with the coffee, it only takes a few moments before she's fast asleep.
