She looked up when she heard him approaching her, pushing her hair out of her face so it wouldn't get in the way.

He gave her a small smile. "This is probably gonna sting, and I ain't exactly the best nurse, but it'll help, I promise." He put some iodine on a cotton ball, carefully touching it to her cut lip, blowing on it gently to cool the burn.

She winced, but didn't make any noise. She did reach her hand across to take his free one, however, squeezing it as he cleaned her up.

He squeezed her hand, not saying anything important, just murmuring sweet nothings to her to soothe her. He patted her bruised cheek gently with some rubbing alcohol to soothe it and keep it from turning too purple. "We oughta get you some ice or somethin'."

"Maybe you could just kiss it? Make it better?" she asked softly. Truth be told, she was aching to feel his lips on her skin.

He smiled, chuckling a little. He leaned down, pressing his lips to her forehead, trailing them along her hairline. He murmured against her hair. "I won't let anybody ever hurt ya again, baby...I swear..."

She tipped her head in an almost imperceptible nod, her eyes closed as she reveled in his kisses. Then, without warning, a tear escaped and splattered onto her cheek.

He murmured her name and 'I love yous', telling her to go ahead and cry. She needed to let it out. He tossed the cotton away, sitting beside her to gather her into his arms.

She rarely allowed herself to cry like this, but Tyler's words made it feel okay to do so now. She curled up against him, her good cheek pressed to his chest as her body shook slightly with sobs.

He just went right on holding her, rubbing her back, cradling her in his arms, and murmuring to her. He knew she needed to get the emotions out of her system -- she was too used to holding everything in.

After a solid five minutes of crying, Rose finally calmed down enough to speak. "I don't want to sleep by myself tonight," she sniffed, trying to catch her breath.

((Sorry, I had to help my mom unload the car. She went to Costco  )) "Ya won't, baby. We'll stay in here. I'll push a couple beds together, and I ain't leavin' yer side." He kissed her, then got up to do just that. |

((haha no worries! I took the opportunity to get ready for bed )) Rose settled in under the covers, waiting for him to join her before speaking again. "I really wish I knew what I did to deserve you...You're, like, basically perfect. Why were you single when we met, I'm really flabbergasted." |

((Aw, no worries!))
He chuckled, blushing, as he curled up next to her. "Well, I guess I can come on a little strong. Lotsa' girls don't like that, I guess, at least not for the long haul. You're the first girl to wanna put up with me for very long."
