[But you're not okay, Nice. You're definitely not okay. He moves forward at a snail's pace before he takes her hand.]

I-I'm so sorry, Nice. I shoulda been there. I--[He's not going to cry because Nice needs him not to cry right now and he knows that much he has to be the one not crying.]

I'm gonna make sure you're gonna be okay, okay?

[bombgasmic]

I'm glad you weren't there. It wasn't pretty, you know?

[She lets him take her hand, and does her best to hold his back, smiling.]

I'm glad you're here now, though. Now we're just like them aren't we?

[gunhearted]

[He shakes his head at her, tightening his grip on her hand just a little.]

I-I'd rather be there when you needed me. [He is very conscious of Nice's mama when he leans down to kiss Nice's unbandaged cheek. He feels terrible.] We're still just us. B-besides, you're gonna get better. Maybe we can find a healer and--and I'm sure you're gonna be able to use your eye again... m-maybe...

[bombgasmic]

... I'm not scared. [She leans into him a little, not letting go of his hand.]

I'm not scared. I know. I know because Nice told me, when I remembered when this happened to her. I'm not scared 'cause I know I won't be alone. I've got mom, and my family, and more than that I've got you.

[gunhearted]

Of course you're not gonna be alone! [Jeeze, Nice, do you not realize that a relationship with Jacuzzi is like love super glue?] No matter what happens, you're not gonna be alone.

[bombgasmic]

I know. Thank you. [She tugs on him. Kiss her again. She'd like it.]

We're gonna be okay.

I'm sorry I scared you, though.

[gunhearted]

[So long as her mom doesn't give him dirty looks. He'll kiss her cheek again and sit next to her on the bed.]

I-it's okay. I-I mean it's not okay but don't... don't be sorry, okay? We're friends, right?

H-how bad are the burns?

[bombgasmic]

[Mama Holystone isn't saying anything. She's relieved her daughter's got someone. although she raises an eyebrow at the combination of "friends" and kissing.]

Um, they're nothing that I won't recover from, but it'll probably leave scars. We gotta keep an eye on my eye, but I won't be stuck here for long. Just a few days.

[gunhearted]

[Sorry your daughter's boyfriend is stupid Mrs. Holystone.]

I'll come every day. A-and I'll make sure things are okay at home, too, so don't worry about anything!

[bombgasmic]

[smh she's gonna have to keep an eye on this one

Nice giggles]

I know! I'm not worried at all -- I'll do my best so I get better and we can properly live together, okay?

[gunhearted]

Just... focus on getting better okay? That's the only important thing, right?

[bombgasmic]

For now, yeah. I'll be better in no time. The doctors are being good to me.

[gunhearted]

It's okay with you if I stay, right? [He doesn't want to get in the way if she wants to be with her mom or something.]

[bombgasmic]

If you want to stay, I would like you to stay. Keep me company?

[gunhearted]

O-of course! [He won't budge.] I-it's not like I'm gonna leave you here...

[bombgasmic]

Well, I didn't think you would. But it's still nice to hear...

[gunhearted]

I'm not going anywhere. U-unless they kick me out or something then I have to, but--

I'm not going anywhere.

[bombgasmic]

I think Mama's talked to them so if you wanna stay, I think they'll let you.

I'll be out of here in no time, though, okay?

[gunhearted]

Stay until you're healthy enough that you're not gonna get hurt when you leave, Nice!

[bombgasmic]

I promise you -- I won't leave until I get the doctor's okay.

[gunhearted]

Just don't rush it.

[bombgasmic]

[She leans over and snuggles him.] You have my word.

[gunhearted]

Don't do that Nice, you're gonna hurt yourself! [But he'll put his arms around her anyway.]

[bombgasmic]

Something like this won't hurt me. Sure they're worse than a normal cooking accident, but they're just burns.

[gunhearted]

You're in the hospital, Nice, c'mon!
