Melissa smiled weakly, adjusting her position so she could wrap her arms around his waist. "Yeah… we will be." She mumbled, kissing his shoulder before cuddling up against him.
Melissa smiled weakly, adjusting her position so she could wrap her arms around his waist. "Yeah… we will be." She mumbled, kissing his shoulder before cuddling up against him.
"I love you so much, Mel… I'm glad you decided to stick around…" Lucas smiled weakly up at Melissa.
"I love you too, darling…" Melissa hummed, laying back on the couch with him. "And of course. I want to be here for you, and I want to take care of you."
"But you shouldn't have to take care of me… I'm almost an adult…" Lucas sighed softly. "I should be able to take care of myself."
“Mmm… so am I, but I still need you…” Melissa mumbled, looking up at him. “Sometimes you need someone else to take care of you when you can’t take care of yourself. You’ve taken care of me, so I take care of you.”
Lucas sighed again and looked away. "But… it's not like this is a one time thing. It seems like you constantly have to watch over me."
“So? Is there a problem with that?” Melissa asked softly, gently reaching up to hold his face in her hands. “You do the same for me, practically all the time.”
"It doesn't seem like I have to do it as much for you, though… I love you, and it feels like I'm doing a poor job of showing it."
"Mm, well, I disagree. You're super affectionate towards me, and I honestly feel special when you're around." Melissa hummed, nuzzling against his cheek. "You're so sweet and loving. You do plenty to show your love."
Lucas flushed a bit and looked up at Melissa meekly. "W-Well, I try, but… are you sure?" He asked softly. "You really feel special?"
“I- I mean yeah, of course. You treat me so much better than I have been in the past.” Melissa whispered, running her fingers through his hair. “I feel loved… and cared for when you’re around.”
Lucas closed his eyes, leaning into Melissa's gentle touch. "I'm glad you're happy, at least… I really do try…"
“Mm… I am happy. I’m happy I have you with me.” Melissa mumbled, pressing a kiss to his lips. “I love you so much. More than I could try to explain.”
"I love you too, Mel… and I'm glad you love me in return, even if I'm a huge mess all the time…"
Melissa was smiling weakly, still holding onto his face. She hummed softly as she nuzzled against his nose affectionately. “Mmm… of course I love you…” She whispered, kissing him a few times more.
Lucas flushed a bit harder and buried his face back in Melissa's shoulder, holding tightly to her. "I'm really lucky to have you, Mel…"
"M'not all that special, babe… though I'm glad you think so." Melissa mumbled, wrapping her arms around him tightly. "And I love you so much…"
"Mmm… you seem pretty special to me. Not everyone is willing to do all of the things you've done for me."
Melissa gave him a weak smile, playing with his hair quietly. "Mm… whatever you say, love. Though I still disagree." She mumbled, kissing the top of his head.
"You're very special, Mel…" Lucas smiled gently up at Melissa and shifted a bit closer. "At least to me."
"I'm not…" Melissa mumbled, burying her face in his shoulder. "I couldn't even get you to relax when you were really upset just a couple of minutes ago."
"That's not your fault, though… I shouldn't have gotten so upset about nothing, and I should've been able to handle it myself anyway."
"Lu… come on, I get upset all the time, and you still try to calm me down." Melissa insisted, tipping his chin up. "If you really think what you're saying is true, then I should be able to deal with myself more of the time. Not come to you, and ask you to take care of me."
"But… but still…" Lucas sighed. "It seems like it's a lot for you to deal with, Mel. You shouldn't have to talk me down every other day…"
“The same goes for you.” Melissa insisted in a soft tone, playing with his hair. “You shouldn’t have to be the one trying to calm me down. It’s in no way, shape, or form going to help your mental state. Yet you do it anyways. If I didn’t do something in return, or attempt to anyways, I’d not be able to let that go. I’d feel horrible that you had to try and take care of yourself when you take care of me.”
"I feel the same way, honestly…" Lucas sighed softly. "I feel like you do so much for me, and I never do enough in return…" He fidgeted uncomfortably and looked away.
Melissa glanced up at him, repeating his soft sigh. "I… I guess we both just need to understand that. We both feel like we're not doing enough, and think the other does way more… I- um… if we both feel like that, that means it's not true for either of us, right?" She asked softly, playing with her fingers some.
"I guess so… I mean, it seems like I'm always the one being unreasonable…" Lucas sighed softly. "You have to calm me down a lot more often than I have to calm you down."
Melissa laughed weakly at his first comment, burying her face in his shoulder. "You're not irrational, love… but that doesn't matter. You still have to calm me down too."
"Mmm… it feels like I'm being irrational, though…" Lucas closed his eyes and sighed again. "I get upset over a lot of stupid stuff…"
