If we can just pretend.
Pretend we don't have worries.
Pretend we're someone else.

Resu lightly rubbed her reddened and puffy eyes as she followed Toshiro into his bedroom.
"You can take my bed Resu, I'll sleep on the couch."
"But this is your apartment."
"You're my guest."
"Toshiro, I think there's at least enough space for both of us in the bed," Resu said, looking over at the large king sized bed.
"I thought you'd be uncomfortable with me sleeping in the same bed."
"Nah, I wouldn't mind it much... just make sure not to push me off the bed in the middle of the night."
Resu climbed into the bed while Toshiro went to take a quick shower. Quickly getting dressed in a simple black t-shirt and some black sweatpants, he returned to find her already fast asleep, curled up under the covers of the bed. He also got into the bed and lightly sighed.
This job gets harder everyday, and now I have her on my hands as well... he thought as he watched Resu peacefully slumbering. A wave of tiredness washed over him as he finally rested his head on top of one of the large pillows. His eyes slowly slid close...
If only I could pretend to be someone else for a day...
Someone without the risks I take...
With a happy life ahead of them...

Resu's eyes barely opened as she began to wake up, slightly suffering from a throbbing pain in her head from all the crying yesterday. She wasn't used to crying and it generally caused her headaches.
Her stomach growled, though she didn't feel like getting up to get anything to eat, neither could she since Toshiro's strong arms were actually wrapped around her waist from behind. Toshiro's nose and lips were also lightly nuzzled against her neck. Resu lightly blushed and slightly smiled to herself.
He must've subconsciously held me like in this in his sleep.
Not that I mind this but...
I would have loved to pretend this is my life...
To be asleep with a man that actually does love me, to have no worries about dying today or the next day...
Resu snuggled her back closer against his chest and closed her eyes once more, listening to his quiet breathing.
But truth be told, a small while to pretend won't hurt, not at all...

Yes, I know her job isn't that dangerous, but you'll see why she said that later on. :I
