It's time to start Warm and Fluffy Bingo! Which will be a nice collection of prompts in an attempt for me to make up for all the pain I have caused these guys so far XD
First Prompt: Lady Penelope & Gordon + Feed Them Food
"This is embarrassing."
"It is not embarrassing."
No matter what she said, he still felt embarrassed.
"You need to look at me."
He didn't want to. He didn't want to see her pity. He knew she was right, though. He would need to look at her for this to work.
Gordon reluctantly turned his head back in her direction, but his eyes were cast down at the sheets.
"We don't have to do this if you don't want to." Penelope's hand entered his vision as it landed on his arm, right where the bandages stopped.
"No, it's fine." Gordon followed her arm up until his eyes reached hers, and he gave her a smile as wide as he could muster. "This needs to happen eventually, and I'd rather it be you."
She smiled in return. It was one filled with warmth and love and made Gordon feel a bit better about the situation.
When Penelope turned to the tray of food, Gordon glanced back down at his hands. They were still sore from the burns, and there wasn't a piece of skin visible beneath all the bandages. It would be a while before he could use his hands again without them hurting.
"Ready?"
Gordon looked up at Penelope and saw her holding a bowl of something mushy that the hospital provided. He would have preferred something more solid, but there was only so much his stomach could take right now.
He nodded in response, and Penelope started to scoop a spoonful of food from the bowl.
In the end, it wasn't that bad of an experience, and when Penelope accidentally dropped a dollop of food onto the blanket, it lightened the mood and had them both laughing.
Gordon would have much preferred to be able to do things for himself, it always sucked being injured. But for now, with Penelope at his side, this wasn't too awful.
