"It doesn't bother me."

Emily hummed, half-awake and rolled over, cracking open one eye at the sound of keys tapping. JJ was sitting up in bed next to her typing away on her laptop, the blue-white glow of the screen illuminating her face.

"What're you doing up?" Emily asked sleepily, yawning.

"Bad dream." JJ explained, tearing her eyes away from the screen briefly to offer a small smile. "I wanted to get everything out before I tried to go back to bed."

Emily nodded her understanding. JJ's therapist had suggested she start keeping a journal and while resistant to it at first, it seemed to be doing her a lot of good. "Do you want to talk about it?"

JJ's hands stilled on the keyboard and she ran the fingers of one hand through Emily's hair briefly. "It's okay, I don't want to bother you with it."

"It doesn't bother me, Jayje." Emily insisted, rising up on her elbow. "You can never bother me with anything you need to talk about, okay?"

JJ smiled softly and pressed her lips to Emily's. "Okay."
