I cried until there were no tears left, but I felt my body still shaking. I was so tired; my head was spinning. I just needed to rest. Half asleep I felt Tony lift me up and carry me, next feeling the comfort of our mattress beneath my back. Before I knew it, I was feeling bright light shining through my eyelids and Tony's lips trailing kissed down my shoulder. I turned over to face him.

"Good morning sweetheart," I said.

"Morning baby," he said, gently stroking my cheek.

"What do you want to do today," I asked him.

"I dunno. What do you wanna do?"

"I dunno," I answered, grinning.

We laid there for awhile, holding hands. After awhile he started naming stuff we could do.

"Do you want to, walk around the park?" he asked.

I smiled and shook my head.

"Okay, well something nice and low key or something really fun?"

I grinned.

"Something really fun."

He grinned at me, looking a lot more into it now. Seeing as we hadn't done much in awhile, the normal walk around the park didn't seem quite as appealing to either of us than it sometimes did.

Later that day, I was standing in a yard with various multicolored objects around to hide behind. Dripping in paint, I reached into my bag, sneaking around the object to where Tony was looking in the other direction. Before he knew what had happened paint was streaming down his face from where I had popped the balloon on his head. This was an activity we had done in the beginning of our relationship, after both having previously confessed thinking it was so fun. Tony swore but smiled and threw the balloon already in his hand at me, which splattered in front of me. I grinned and stuck my tongue out at him, who in response charged forward while reaching into his bag and popped the balloon purposefully on the top of my head, so it wouldn't drip too much into my face. I was worse at aiming, but Tony always managed to make it so that I could still see, except when I really pissed him off by completely soaking him. He nuzzled his nose with mine getting green paint on me and kissed me. About a second after he kissed me I popped a balloon on his knee, and a second later he got me on the back. We split apart giggling stupidly like kids. I loved doing the stupid, childish stuff with him. It was such a contrast to what we usually dealt with at work. He threw a balloon that hit me in the leg, giving me just enough time to nail him just above his hip. Our white suits were covered in splotches now, and we both only had a couple balloons left. I ran around the corner and hit him at the same time he got me, then slipped on a balloon. I started to laugh.

"You okay?" he asked, laughing a little bit but making sure I was really alright before he brushed it off.

I pulled him to the ground too.

"Just perfect," I said.

He brushed a piece of blue hair out of my eyes and kissed me briefly on the lips.

"Ready?" he asked.

"To go?"

"Yeah, usually you only go two rounds," he said, teasing me.

I nudged him playfully in disagreement.

"Watch and learn Almeida," I said, moving around so I was on top of him on the ground, our faces very close.

I got him good in the shoulder and neck and stood up and ran, giggling at his expression, and waiting for his retaliation.

We walked into the house, our hair matted with pain which also lined our faces where the wipes hadn't removed it. We held hands, heading towards the shower. We both immediately discarded our clothing and turned the water on. I felt so gross I had to get this paint off me. I got into the shower and Tony came after me. I rinsed my hair out and then moved aside so he could do the same. Green and blue paint ran down his shoulder. He watched me watching him and came towards me, wrapping his arms around me. He kissed me softly on the lips, resting his forehead on mine.

"I love you," he said after a moment.

"I love you," I returned staring him in the eyes.

"We'll get through this," he said softly, referring to late last night.

"I know," I said quietly, pulling his head down to mine.

I knew we would be okay. I loved him, and he loved me, and with that, we could get through anything.
