Al, you could crack a heart of stone.

[His eyes are certainly closed tight.]

[al_truism]

[He leans his cheek against Break's shoulder and doesn't push him further.]

[maddest]

I really love you.

[al_truism]

[Al laughs, rubs his face against Break's shoulder to hide the threat of tears.]

You had to say it.

[maddest]

Yes, I did.

[al_truism]

... get on the bed.

[maddest]

I'm not an invalid.

[But he does settle down.]

[al_truism]

I can't read to you if you're standing up, silly.

[He huffs and settles down next to him, taking reading glasses out of his pocket.]

[maddest]

We can trade chapters. My eyes are fine.

[al_truism]

[Al straightens the glasses, blinking through them.]

... we might have to. These give me a headache.

[maddest]

That's no problem.

[al_truism]

Let me see how far I can get?

[He nuzzles his shoulder.]
