*turns suddenly and cries harder against her neck, holding her close to him and making tiny moans of pain as it takes a lot out of his already exhausted body to cry this hard*
*finally cries himself out and goes completely limp in her arms*
*opens his mouth but can't say anything, just thinking about what the Death Eater said to him*
Mostly bruised ribs... one cracked... the back of my head... the front of my head... everywhere else just aches. I'm not allowed to take any of the medications because I haven't slept at all.

*sits up and takes a potion off the table, examining it closely, wanting so much to take it but knowing he can't because he hasn't slept at all*

*wakes up SO HAPPY to be with him*

No I wasn't.
*sleeps lightly, waking up every 15 minutes or so*
*opens his eyes a few moments after she wakes up and inclines his head, kissing her weakly*

Mmmmm I missed you.
*finds his hand and laces their fingers*
Where does it hurt?

Why haven't you slept?

I... couldn't. Not because I was scared of what happened... I just -- I don't know.

*strokes his hair and looks at him, worried*

He was after my family... you didn't put me in danger. He would have killed us all if you weren't there.

Doesn't mean I'm not sorry.
*kisses him slowly, using a bit of tongue and moves in closer to him, careful not to hit any sore area*
And you really were brave.

How was I brave? I couldn't do anything... the Death Eater was right, Marlene, you don't deserve to be with a little boy like me.

He said... he said that? And you believe him?
Look at me. Look at me. I'd rather fight a million battles by your side, then fight only one with anyone else.
You stood up for me and cursed him and I was so proud of you.

*nods once and pulls her completely against him, trying not to flinch because it hurts him*
*kisses her roughly*

I love you.
*kisses back just as roughly*
Please go to sleep so you can take that potion and get better. I need to make all this up to you. *gives him a naughty smile*

I love you, too.
Okay... but you're staying right here with me.
*blushes a bit and presses her as hard against him as he can take, closing his eyes and finally, FINALLY sleeping*
