"It's not stupid." Her voice carries a warning tone, not leaving room for him to argue with her. He can try, but she isn't going to allow it. Now that her fears that he feels weak and useless in front of her are confirmed, she's going to do her best to get rid of them. It's not what she wants him to think when he looks back on this time. Not when it's one of the best times in her entire life.
"When you care about someone, you take care of them when they need you to." Like he does for her when he literally takes bullets for her, shielding her with his entire body. When Frank cares for people, he makes it obvious with his actions. And she tries to do the same, but she knows that it must be hard for him to accept the fact that he's not wasting her time.
Goosebumps rise up on her skin as his fingers trail along it, and her lips part as the slightest hint of a sigh passes through them. She doesn't think she's blinked in an eerie amount of time, and so she allows her eyes to drift closed as she enjoys the sensation of his being close and with her this way.
"I like being here like this." Their being together this way. Sharing a small bed, with Max curled up in the ridiculous blanket fort she made for him. They don't have to worry about anyone seeing the subtle nuances between them that have become less and less subtle as the weeks here have gone by. "I don't want you to feel like you're wasting my time and like we can't have this anymore when you wake up normal."
