❝ Why are you so beautiful? ❞

he's always sweet to her    -    much sweeter,  in fact,   than maeve would ever say she deserves.  she's still not used to it:  the light he seems to see her in,  the affection that stains his words.    (   messy relationships are easier.  not for her mental health,  of course,  but maeve knows how to handle the brief or the bitter.  she's no expert at this,   no expert at being cared for.  )    

❝ because you like me. ❞   maeve teases him with easy affection,  sitting back on edge of bed,  leaning down to press quick kiss to his lips,  smile playful and warm.   they're both always in rushes,  squeezing out what little time they can together,  never questioning how it grows more and more common.  ❝ I'm sorry to tell you,  @bothsidesofaquestion,  but I think I've won you over. ❞

❝ i didn't want you to find me like this. ❞

it's hardly rare for her to be soundless:   if anything,  these days,  it's far rarer for brunette to make any noise she deems unnecessary.  she has eyes all over city   -   people she's helped with her number saved on speed dial,  ready to tell her when something seems...  like her sort of mess.  there's such a fine line between separating herself and letting people down because she wasn't close enough to help.   so she doesn't say anything when he speaks,  steps as soundless as her,  moving opposite where he's sat and simply...  sinking to sit opposite of @bothsidesofaquestion.

❝ because you need privacy or for some misguided concern about pride? ❞   it's a gentle question - as void from judgement as she can get it even as brown eyes check him for any physical harm.  still leaving him his space,  yet careful to try and meet him halfway.  ❝ I'll leave if you really want me to. ❞

[ CUDDLE ]  for the taller muse to the big spoon.

comfort is hard to find:  the deeper they fall into caring about world,  about their people,  the less likely they both are to ever properly rest again.   neither of them excels at it  -   the art of walking away when it's needed.  they work  (   and work  )   and play their parts until exhaustion wins...  yet even exhaustion isn't always enough to get real sleep.   there's so little difference in their heights  &&   even less so when they're lying like this,   back against his chest,  fingers mindlessly tracing patterns and equations on @bothsidesofaquestion's arm.

sleep isn't always an option,  but a little while of nothingness will hardly do any harm.  ❝ I can hear you thinking. ❞   her whisper is soft,  cutting through darkness with easy precision.  ❝ it's very loud,  like a trapped bee trying to get out of a window.  it might let you rest if you actually let it out. ❞
