In spite of Lily’s piss poor sense of directions, Kaylee had acted his compass, as she was in all aspects of his life, and they had made it back to campus in a fraction of the time it had taken him to go pick her up. Painting the sky in hues of gold and lapis lazuli, the sun nestled down on the horizon for its evening rest. More than happy to abandon the thing, he’d dropped her wheelchair off at her dorm and thenceforth carried her back to his. After a moment’s second thought, he’d picked up a bag of her toiletries and whatever other trappings she’d asked of him, too. She would stay at his place tonight; it wasn’t like his new roommate would have much, if anything, to say about it if he wasn’t off clinging to his brother like a second skin.
“Sweetpea you want anythin’ else with this?” Lily called from the hall, shouldering open the door .
Unable to find food to her liking on their way to campus, he’d left her bundled in blankets on his bed and made a trip down to the kitchen to make up some simple soup for her. Luckily Mrs. Ellison had taken it upon herself to make sure he could cook for himself if he wanted, and he often did while out on the range. It was also nice not to have to eat with the rest of these hero-phyllic morons, though he’d been frequenting the cafeterias more often for Kaylee’s sake.
Setting the lap table with its steaming bowl of (generously spiced) chicken soup over her legs, Lily thunked himself carefully down beside her. His hand brushed a stray lock of her hair out of her eyes as he looked her up and down with a frown. She looked so tired and small, but he’d wrapped her up in a thick cocoon of blankets before he left and turned up the heat so that she wouldn’t be bothered by his constantly chilling aura.
“I’ll get you whatever you like, but I hope y’ain’t expecting me to spoon feed you ‘cause that’s just a disaster waitin’ to happen and you know it,” he said, locking his eyes with hers.

Gods, he was good to her. No matter how many times he would say that he was the worst person to be in a relationship with, it was completely the opposite. When Kaylee was around Lily, he was overprotective to the point that it sometimes got annoying. But she knew he did it because he cared about her, so she just smiled through it all, even when he did decide to carry her around everywhere like a bird with a broken wing.
She blushed as he carried her across campus toward his dorm room, obviously getting stares from other students walking by. Not that they'd ever say anything to him, but still...Thankfully they eventually got into his room and he placed her on his bed, only to then surround her with blankets. It was a bit hot, especially with the heater, but with Lily's abilities he was able to make it cold in an instant without even realizing it. The gesture melted her heart and she didn't have the willpower to tell him she was sweating, so she just smiled and watched him move around.
"I'm fine...just a bit tired...Please don't be long, okay? I know it sounds silly but...I've been alone for a while now...and I don't want to be alone like that again..."
He then left and she frowned, settling back to try and get a light nap in while he was away. Her heart was sad when he was gone from her side, but as soon as she settled into a light sleep she heard the door open and her eyes popped open to greet him. There were slight purple bags under her eyes and she appeared a bit more pale than usual, but the smile was ever-present on her face.
"I'm glad you're back...Did you make this for me?" she asked quietly, sniffing the soup with a grunt. It smelled amazing! A bit spicy, though...

“Did,” he said simply, still looking her over.
Her face was flushed and weary, eyelids sagging with every tremulous breath she took. She was starting to look more sick than injured, and it worried the hell out of him. Had he done something wrong? Hurt her worse, gotten her sick, strained her too much? He clenched one fist in the bedspread and brushed his knuckles under her eyes, letting his hand slip down to her jaw so he could trace his thumb across her lips. Lily had a tendency to break things, especially the things that meant something to him; like hell he’d ever let that happen to Kaylee.
“If you want to rest, I can stick this in the fridge and heat it up for you later,” he said, dropping a kiss on her lips. “You look exhausted, sugar.”
Taking the bowl in one hand, Lily relocated it to one of the bedside tables and displaced the lap table into the windowsill. One arm looped around her shoulders and the other just under her thighs as he laid back into the bed, he scooped Kaylee out of her blankets and into his embrace. He snagged one soft blanket he’d taken from her room—it smelled like fresh linens and flowers—and an old tribal blanket from home, layering them over her to protect her from the cold he might generate, but let the others fall on the floor. She’d asked him not to leave her, for long or forever, and tucking his chin over her head, he didn’t think he could. Whipped he might be, and a brute for sure, but she was the sweetest desert flower, and she fit just perfectly up against his prickly cactus spines.

So he had made it for her? Kaylee's smile only grew wider (if it were even possible) as he commented on his work. But he seemed short about it. Was he upset with her? Had she said something wrong? A look of worry flashed through his eyes as he set the food before her. It did smell really good, even if it was probably a bit too spicy for her own good...
He kissed her and she giggled. returning the gesture with her lips. It felt so wonderful to be with Lily again, even if she wasn't in her top form. Even though her healing abilities allowed her to heal somewhat faster than a regular person, that didn't mean she couldn't get hurt or sick. It just didn't take as long for her to heal. "I'm fine...I'm just really tired...Sleeping doesn't come well when you're stuck in a hospital bed for over a month. So this bed...and being with you...just brought it all out of me I guess."
But she frowned when he moved the bowl and tray away from her. She really was hungry! Her mouth opened to protest, but Lily scooped her up so he could lay in the bed with her, and all she could do was let out a soft sigh as he held her. "You know I was about to eat your delicious soup, right? I can still smell it from here!" At this she poked his nose playfully, giggling as she did so. "I don't want it to get cold if you spent your time making it!"

Heaven and hell, he loved her smile. If he were honest, he loved her lips in and of themselves: soft and sweet as a Georgia peach and just right against his own. As she poked his nose, he nipped half-playfully at her finger and raised his eyebrow. Tired, hungry enough not to be tired, hot, cold…she ought to make up her mind so he could get on with holding her.
“Ain’t nothing stopping you from sitting up and eating if you want. I can always make more.” Here, he ran his fingers through his hair and stared at the ceiling. “Mrs. Ellison taught me how to cook, so it ain’t much of a trouble to make it.”
If she wanted to eat, he wouldn’t stop her. Propping himself up on one arm, he offered her his hand for assistance in sitting up and stretched out lazily across the comforter. She was right—it was nice having her back in his room. He could protect her here, and she made the place a sanctuary for him.

"You're so lazy!" Kaylee giggled, nudging him lightly with her shoulder as she moved to sit up against him. He seemed almost detached, but she decided to let it slide for the moment. Her hunger was more than anything else she could think of, so her arms reached out over him to grab the soup in her hands. Then she brought it to her lap and used the spoon to take a sip.
Gods...it was spicy! Her eyes widened and she almost choked on it, but for Lily's sake she kept her composure as the spice slipped down her throat. "Wow...This is...really good!" He could probably tell that she was lying, but oh well. She was just trying to spare his feelings, after all!
"What...what did you put in this?" She moved to take another sip, but it was just too much for her throat. She looked around for a drink and saw that he'd had a soda on the bedside table, so she reached for it. But as she leaned over, her torso moved with her and the bowl of hot soup cascaded down like liquid lava...
...right into the crotch of her boyfriend.

Lily snorted at her accusation, but flashed a faint grin nonetheless. Sure. She could call him lazy if she wanted; she could call him anything and he wouldn’t mind, as long as she called him hers.
“Whatever you say darlin’.” Watching her carefully, he frowned when she coughed, noting the strange (albeit cute) wrinkle of her nose when she took her first sip. “You sure about that? You look like you just swallowed a spider.”
Maybe my cooking skills are suited for a man’s stomach, not a lady’s, he thought bewilderedly, rubbing the back of his neck.
“Put in it? The usual ingredients for chicken soup I s’pose. Chicken, noodles, broth, about a tablespoon of tabasco sauce…Wh—FUCK.”
Leaping from the bed, Lily rattled off another stream of curses, his head bowed in a grimace. He was usually better at containing his language, but hot damn that hurt. As he stumbled his way to the bathroom, he thought he could understand why some people would go on about suing an entire company just because their coffee was too hot. His breath came in pants and hisses as he struggled to remove his belt and get his better parts into some cold water.

Well shit. No wonder it was so spicy! As the male ran off to cool his male parts in the bathroom, Kaylee worked on cleaning the mess that had appeared in his bed. "WHO PUTS A TABLESPOON OF TABASCO IN CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP?!" The redhead cried out, listening with a stupid grin as Lily freaked out in the bathroom.
Eventually she used the napkins he'd brought from the kitchen to clean the blanket that had soup all over it, and slowly she moved out of the bed to throw them away. Then she hobbled over to the bathroom door, not going in just in case he was naked or something. "I'm sorry though...are you alright? I didn't...scald you too badly, did I?
Even though she really did feel bad, she couldn't help but giggle at the situation. Her hand moved to her mouth to stifle her laughter, but it was still obvious that she was laughing. "Really...do you need help?"

“Just...! Go…lay down or somethin’. I’ll be out in a minute.”
With a grunt, Lily bit his lip and pressed a cold compress onto his more tender anatomy, thunking his head back into the wall. He could hear Kaylee giggling and, though he frowned, was glad she could find some humor in this. At least one of them ought to be able to, and she needed to let that pretty sound out more often. Of course, his current state brought to mind other pretty sounds she could make, and with a furious blush he snorted at himself.
Well at least I know everything’s workin’ right still.
Reaching back to lock the door, he stood to his feet and left the compress on the edge of the sink. For the moment, everything was quite ironically numb, so he felt no need to continue holding it, lest things get…out of hand. Instead, he hit the water on the shower and stepped under the spray for a quick rinse. A once over with some Axe and he felt much better. At the door, he stopped with his towel round his waist.
Kaylee was still out there. Then again, she’d seen him in a towel before, and that had been when they weren’t dating. Now…He smirked. Well alright; served the damn girl right for trying to boil him. So he opened the door and stepped out, all dripping water and bare chest and steam.

She heard the shower running, and she paused. Wait, he was showering? Part of her wanted to peek in, just to see what he was up to, but she thought against it. The blush that raced across her cheeks when she thought about seeing him naked...no! They weren't ready for that! Or...well, she wasn't ready for that. And she wouldn't ever be able to tell him why.
With a sigh she turned and hobbled back to the bed, sitting on the side while she waited for Lily to come out. but when he did she paused, staring at his chest with wide eyes. Sure, she saw it practically 24/7, but at the same time...it being dripping wet while showing off the v lines at his hips...the sight made her shudder.
So she fell back onto the bed, covering her face with a blanket as she spoke. He probably had trouble hearing her because the blanket was covering her mouth to muffle her words. "Lily! Get...get some proper clothes on! That towel could fall and I could possibly see...you know!"

Halfway tempted to walk to his bed and simply stand over her, Lily kept his distance with the vaguest of smiles on his face. Making his girl blush never failed to raise his spirits and cool his ire. Combing his hair out of his face, he shook a bit of water in her direction and snagged a pair of lounge pants from the floor.
“I wouldn’t have needed t’come out in a towel if you hadn’t gone and spilled your soup on me in the first place, y’know,” he said as he pulled his pants on.
For extra measure, he tossed his towel in her general direction. It seemed she’d done a decent job of cleaning up his bed, but he probably ought to send his blanket into the hamper; it was almost laundry day anyway. That in mind, he approached the bed and gently scooped Kaylee up, depositing her onto his roommate’s bed as he proceeded to unmake his own and remake it with a few fresh blankets.
“Next time just tell me you don’t like spicy things. They’re good for you when you’re sick but if I’da know you were gonna go tossing it all on me I’d have brought you ice cream instead.”

When she felt the towel being thrown on top of her, she blushed even harder. Was he strutting around naked for the hell of it, just to see her squirm? Part of her wanted to look, but the better half of her decided to stay put beneath the blanket. It was only when she heard him speak and grab onto her that she removed the blanket from her face, her cheeks still burning bright as he moved her to the other side of the room.
"It's not like I expected to drop hot soup on you! It was just really spicy and I'm not used to stuff like that so I just needed something to cool my mouth off with...and when I went to get a drink on the other side of you, the bowl spilled from my lap and into yours! It wasn't intentional!" Even though she knew Lily knew that it was all an accident, Kaylee still felt like she needed to explain herself.
A sigh left her lips and she watched him change the sheets and blankets on his bed. Once he was finished she stood and hobbled over to him, wrapping her arms around his torso from behind. Her head buried itself into the small of his back and she took in his scent with a smile and a purr. "All of this excitement's got me tired though...Will you lay with me until I fall asleep?"

“Quit moving around, will you?”
Reaching back, Lily palmed Kaylee’s head and ruffled her hair. Her tiny arms barely fit around his frame, but for all he wanted to move they could have been steel chains binding him to the floor. Even so, he turned in her embrace and kissed her forehead, lifting her up by her waist so that her legs wrapped around him.
. “You’ll never heal if you keep getting up. I don’t want you hurting yourself all over again,” he said, ducking gently under her arms so that she had support around his shoulders as well. ”Are you comfortable in what you’re wearing? I’ve got some old tshirts you could wear, if you’re not.”
As he spoke, though, he could not help but smile, hearing her purr. He dipped his head down, tucking his nose in close to hers and lovingly planting a kiss on her lips. Careful not to jostle her too much, he sat down against his bed and tickled his fingers up and down her spine. When he pulled away for air, he rested his forehead to hers and shut his eyes.

He didn't answer her question with words, but with his actions. Without saying a word he picked her up and she moved around him, but the boot on her leg made it hard for her to be truly comfortable in this position. But she kept quiet because she didn't want to make Lily feel bad for putting her into some slight discomfort. He kissed her and she chuckled, returning the gesture happily.
When their lips parted she looked at him, and then to her leg. "I love you and everything...but this is starting to feel...uncomfortable. With my boot on and everything..." A smile crossed her lips and she rested her head against his own, closing her eyes to just take in the moment she had with him. "I don't ever want to leave your side again..."
Finally his question from earlier rang in her head and she opened her eyes to stare at him. "I'm...I'm fine. Just tired, really...Do you think we can lay down? You're getting me hot and bothered and slightly dizzy."

That was it, though, wasn’t it. No matter how hard he tried, Lily couldn’t keep from hurting Kaylee. He was just too big, too rough, too reckless, to clumsy with words and actions. When she said “I love you,” though, he snapped back to attention, his brows furrowed as he stared. A reflexive laugh jarred him from his thoughts, and what had been a frowned turned into a gentle smirk.
“Hot and bothered, huh? Maybe I ought to sleep on the floor then so that you aren’t too tempted.”
Carefully extracting himself from her small frame, Lily laid Kaylee down on the bed and covered her with a blanket. He checked and double checked to make sure she was comfortable before leaving to retrieve her a glass of water and turn down the lights. Come to think of it, he was starting to feel a little tired, too. Being nice seemed to take a lot out of him, but as he sank down behind her with a sigh, he couldn’t help but think it was worth it just to hold her in his arms. With one arm cradled under her head as a pillow, he looped the other about her waist and snugged her up under her ribcage so that she was pressed securely into him.
“Better darlin’?”
