We're in vanilla overdrive so I'll let you off the hook with a warning *just this once*."You know.." you muse aloud while holding back a yawn. "Maybe.. ahhhh... Maybe calling Clemont can wait... I'm still plum tuckered out.. so are you.. We've done so much today... This is hardly the place for it, but another hour or two like this couldn't hurt.."
You subtly shift your gaze in either direction to find that there's not a single soul in sight beyond the two of you. Humbled with the guarantee of no interruptions, you close the distance with a comfy arm wrapped around her.
"'Specially if it's with you."
"Hnn~.." a quick dip to peck her on the nose rouses her slightly. She lets out a small, cute hum, snuggling up to you. "Rest easy, 'kay? I'm not sure what comes next.. but I'm glad to know you'll be there to face it with me."
Just as she loses herself in your chest, you lose yourself in her hair, and eventually nod off with a banana peel nudging your face. You're trash, she's trash, this dank alley's trash, everything is trash, a hot (couple's) bath would do wonders for the both of you, but that's all inconsequential. All that matters right now is that you have her, she has you, and that's pretty cool.
Besides, isn't there that one saying about someone's trash being someone else's treasure? Well, you're not one to boast,
but you'd say you're holding onto a rather pretty penny.~
