ALROY

I cuddled up against Zero's chest as we lay there. It was silent but I didn't care. I wanted to be next to him and finally, I had him to myself. My body was sore but I didn't care. The only thing on my mind was keeping him here with me. I placed my hand on his chest and rubbed it. He was laying there staring at the ceiling and I couldn't help but wonder what was on his mind. I didn't want to make him talk if he didn't feel like it though. The last thing I wanted to do was upset him again. So, I decided to just lay with him until he wanted to talk to me.

"Eden."

I looked up when he said my name. "Yes."

"I didn't hurt you too much, did I?"

I smiled and pulled him closer, "no. I'm fine, but how are you feeling?"

"I'm feeling better than I was. It's been hard trying to suppress him."
