"Thank you so much. I'm sure he'll appreciate it," Kasey said, that smile still plastered to her face. She sighed as she made her way back to Liam's room and sat down beside him again. "There's a nurse coming with something for you."
Liam hummed his approval since he didn’t have the energy to talk anymore.
The doctor came back in, a warm smile on her face as she walked over to Liam, “Here we are, it should kick in soon.” She said, putting him on the pain medication.
"Thanks again," Kasey told the nurse, smiling at her once again.
She turned back to Liam and put her hand back on his face, going back to rubbing his cheek with her thumb.
“It’s no problem.” She said, leaving the room.
Liam brought his hand up to Kasey’s holding it gently.
"You feeling any better yet?" Kasey asked softly, giving Liam a gentle smile.
“Slightly.” Liam replied quietly, “Thankyou for asking for me.”
"Of course I asked you. I care about you, Liam. A lot," Kasey said with a slight sigh.
Liam gave Kasey’s hand a squeeze, “I care about you a lot, too.”
Kasey smiled again, then sighed, closing her eyes. She was exhausted from using her powers so much, which was part of the reason she had been (and sort of still was) shaking.
"Do you know how scared I was for you?" she whispered, peeking through her eyelashes. "I was so scared, Liam…"
“Hey. Hey. it’s alright, Kasey. You saved me and that’s all that matters.” He replied, giving her a smile, “I could have been dead if it wasn’t for you.”
"I know. And I'm glad I got there on time," Kasey took a shaking breath, a few tears sliding down her cheeks as she squeezed her eyes shut tight. "But what if I hadn't? You'd be dead. I– I don't know what I'd do if you died…" Her voice grew quieter as she spoke, trailing off from a whisper.
“Well I’m not dead, so you need to stop thinking like that… p-please.” Liam said, reaching over to wipe away her tears.
"Sorry," Kasey whispered, peeking through wet eyelashes at Liam. She yawned and stretched a little, then put her chin in her hand as she simply looked at Liam.
"What's that look for?" Liam asked, "You look tired, maybe you should get some sleep…" Liam suggested gently.
Kasey shrugged. "I'm just glad you're okay. And I really don't want to leave you alone…"
Liam did his best to shuffle over on the bed, "There should be enough room on here." He gave her a smile and inclined his head, wanting her to lie with him.
Kasey smiled and gently climbed in with him. She rested her head on his shoulder with a sigh, looking up at the ceiling.
"Tell me if I hurt you," she murmured.
Liam turned and kissed her cheek, "You could never hurt me." He said quietly.
Kasey closed her eyes and sighed through her nose. "I hope so," she whispered. "I don't want to."
"I know, and I'm the same." He sighed and immediately felt the guilt from early rush back into him. She'd said it was fine but he couldn't stop feeling this way.
Kasey lifted her head slightly to place a quick, soft kiss to his lips.
"If you promise not to hurt me, I promise not to hurt you," she whispered smiling at him.
“I promise.” Liam replied, giving her a small smile.
Kasey smiled at him for a moment longer, then closed her eyes.
"Sleep now?"
Liam nodded, “Yeah, yeah that sounds good.” He muttered, his eyes already closed.
"Cool. Night, Liam," Kasey murmured before she fell asleep.
(When two of your RP characters are sleeping at the same time. Lol.)
