Quietly I keep the fact that Angel picked out the worlds cheesiest movie. He meant well and I'm sure I can sit through it without dozing off...I might fall asleep but it's something that my body needs anyhow. He's sweet enough to want to sit with someone who looks so broken right now and just keep me company. "The cookies are good," I tell him, giving him a real smile as I watch his actions as he moves around the room; making sure everything is in its right place.
Angel is out of the room again before I can tell him not to worry about the TV or the fact that I am able enough to go into the other room to save him the effort. He seems to want to ignore what is going on here too and I can't be the one to deny him any of that same kindness he's showing me. "I think TV's are helpful these day's," I comment with a half smile - any more would just hurt.
When he slips into bed with me I sink back into the pillows only to notice the look on his face when he gets back up. He starts fumbling with the case and searching for the eject button on the DVD player. I shake my head and carefully slip out, taking gentle steps over to him and offer my help. "Let me help." I reach out and take the case from him, not laughing at the fact that it's a 'special edition' and has one of those new DVD cases with the side snaps. "I'm not a fan of the new cases either." I pull them both open and pull out the disk, handing it to Angel before pushing the power and then eject button on the DVD player.
The thought of kissing his cheek crosses my mind, but the thought of pulling any extra muscles made me cringe. So I settle on a gentle kiss on his shoulder before padding my way back to the bed, noticing the ice cream becoming less ice and more cream. "You're going to have to help me get rid of this, I think you brought enough for a linebacker." I laugh and get into the bed, pulling the bowl onto my lap and digging into a big spoonful.
