summary: It hurts when she kisses Olivia.
notes: also for joran. this time on the occasion of my losing a bet. it sucks, and yet.

It hurts when she kisses Olivia. The cut on her lip stretches and she tastes vodka and blood.

Olivia pulls back with a look in her eyes and Casey waits for her to say, "We shouldn't do this." Instead she says, "You really shouldn't be drinking with your meds."

Casey doesn't tell her that she stopped taking the pain killers two days ago. That she likes the pain of breathing, because it's means she's alive.

Casey just watches Olivia take a swig of vodka and smile. Holds her breath and waits for it to reach her eyes. It never does.
