Tex awoke to the steady thumping of Bane's heartbeat. She realized that she had finally fallen asleep around round 5. Her head was now resting on his (GLORIOUS!) chest, and her legs were intertwined with his. She smiled, and drifted back into sleep.
Bane's POV ~
Tex hadn't realized that I was awake when she awoke, falling back into sleep. I was of course ready to lie here all day and night, holding her beautiful, glorious, naked form against me. She nuzzled my side with her nose and mewled in the cutest way.
Wait… did I say… Cute?!
This was problematic. I was falling, and I was falling, Hard. I love Tex. This I know, but dragging her into all of this, was not something I had meant to do.
'Bane! Please…. bane wait up!'
I sighed as the young girl ran up to me as I was going boarding to the plane. She was in a loose white cotton tunic and short pants. You could see all of the bandages wrapped, around her upper body. There were specks of blood, probably due to the fact that she was up and moving rapidly towards me after only 3 days out-of surgery!
I stopped, and waited. She caught up to me, and then, practically fainted into my arms from the over-exertion.
'Please….please….please don't leave me!'
'But, I must.'
'No you don't!'
'Yes, I do, young one.' I knelt on the ground and placed her sitting back against the wall.
'I live a dangerous life. I cannot have you along with me. You are already injured. You would just be hurting. '
I knew that I had to handle this situation delicately.
No...Please…. don't go now! You're the only person who has ever, and I do really mean ever, ever cared for me. Enough to save my sorry ass from those shits, and even bring me to a doctor?! I have nowhere to go, nothing to do, no purpose. Please. I want to follow you, I want to stay with you. I feel safe around you…
She had come with me that night, all those years ago. And never would I have thought, that she would be laying her with me, all…well…cute.
"I love you!" I whispered softly into her fuzzy hair.
