When she leaned into him, he folded closer around her. It was awkward, but it's not like anybody was watching -- except the bloody fairies. Cassidy found the most comfortable way to get closer to her, and rested there.
He'd wound up with one hand still free, so he took a turn petting a finger across Pudge's back. The little fish fluttered and squirmed under his finger. She'd made that for him. He'd restarted his heart for her.
With a thought, he activated the spell, and the tattoo on his hand started to flap its wings. She'd be able to feel the steady heartbeat through his chest.
Of course, it wasn't as simple as I love you, too. There was plenty of other stuff Talia had said that had been true, and Cassidy didn't see much point in trying to deny it. He'd learned something about her she hadn't been ready to tell him -- she'd learned some similar things about him.
"Well, you heard the rest of what she said." He didn't have to do much more than murmur, as close as they were. There was a question buried in it that he couldn't quite put the words to. What did that make you feel? What do you want to know?
