"How are you two doing in here? All comfy and cozy?" Jay asked with a chuckle as he came into the bedroom.
"What time is it?" Kay asked as he sat up a bit. With how Elle was clinging to him, it was impossible to move that much. "I thought I told you to wake me in a few hours?"
"I was going to but the two of you looked so cute, all snuggled up together," Jay wisely stopped when he noticed the expression on his partner's face at the word, cute. "So, how is she?"
"Sleeping. That's the best thing for her right now," Kay said as he started to try to loosen Elle's grip.
"Uh, why don't you stay in here with her for now?" Jay said as Elle started to whimper in her sleep as Kay slipped away from her. "She obviously wants you with her and after what she went through, she should have whatever she wants. I can keep an eye on things for a while longer."
Kay eased back into bed again, gathering Elle into his arms, as Jay left.
"Kay?" she suddenly murmured.
"I'm right here. Go back to sleep. I'm not going to leave you. Promise," he reassured her.
"What happened after the bug bit me?" she softly asked.
"The poison from the bite caused your heart to stop," Kay told her. He figured that it was alright for her to know these things now that she was starting recover. "I did CPR and then we used the defibrilator to bring you around. You pretty much know what happened after that."
"I was dying, wasn't I?"
"The doctors said so, but no, you weren't dying. That wasn't an option," Kay told her.
Elle leaned over suddenly, and before Kay knew what was happening, her lips were pressed against his, softly kissing him.
