Abbie turned the other side in bed and was about to fall back to sleep when she noticed Crane was up staring at her.
"What?" she asked as she sat up towards him.
"Nothing is the Problem Miss Mills, i just find great pleasure is watching you rest."
She smiled a bit. "Crane as flattering as that may be, if you watch me rest when will you get anytime to?"
he stares at her blankly for a while then shrugged.
Abbie got up and walked to the edge of the bed where he was sitting.
she lifts his face slightly to look at her
"Is something bothering you Crane?"
"Oh let your heart not be troubled Leftenant, i'm fine"
Abbie got annoyed, she held both sides of his face firmly
"Crane, you cant be the Hero all of the time. Let me help you. Let me save you."
she invites him to come with her, taking his hand and leading him back up to bed.
they both got in, she tapped her folded legs showing him to lay in her lap.
Crane was reluctant at first but he didn't want to argue so laid his head in her lap.
Abbie began singing one of Crane's favorite songs.
"Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer"
Her fingers played in Crane's hair, caressing his scalp and then face.
"I have died every day
waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more"
Soon enough Crane was fast asleep in Abbie's lap, snoring softly.
"Who saves the hero?" she whispered
She leans down her face to meet his then kissed his forehead sweetly.
"I love you, My Ichabod. I really do"
