He let a sigh of fake relief pour out, âThank god,â

Lillian leaned her head against his chest, "Mhm."
âMmhmm,â he echoed holding her tighter.
Lillian closed her eyes and just felt his embrace. That's all she really needed at the moment anyway.
Darren looked up suddenly realizing he hadnât heard Cooper say a thing. He had fallen back asleep on the chair, snoring with soft innocence.
Lillian looked over to Cooper. Looks like he was sleeping. She felt a yawn rise , but she forced it down.
âWell isnât he an angel,â Darren chuckled.
Lillian raised an eyebrow as she said sleepily, "Don't you mean demon?"
Darren laughed, âYes I guess I do. Are you tired? You just slept,â
"I just had a nightmare and a flashback," Lillian grumbled into his chest, "I think that gives me some rights. I don't even think I slept that long anyway."
âWell stand up then,â he leaned forward.
Lillian stood up and looked at him before yawning, "Why?"
Darren laid down on the couch, âIf you are sleeping, I want cuddles,â he would have picked her up himself but he was tired and weak.
Lillian smiled and got back on the couch. She snuggled up against him, "You can have cuddles."
âYeessss!â Darren held her close.
Lillian giggled slightly as she nuzzled her face into his neck.
Darren looked down at the arm wrapped around her, the one that used to hold her in a strong embrace, he frowned. She remembered what Lillian had said, she didnât seem to care. His other hand rubbed over the bagginess of his shirt.
Lillian let out a small sigh. She pulled himself so her body filled every crevice that it could, "I love you Darren. So love yourself."
Darren sighed, âI never said I didnât love myself,â
"You're frowning. Don't frown. Don't play with your baggy shirt. Just be Darren."
âIâm sorry,â his frown didnât leave his face bit his hand dropped. He continued to glare down at himself.
Lillian looked up at him. She tried to obscure his vision with her face as she smiled, "Hey. Don't be sorry."
He looked away from her almost shamefully to somewhere else in the room anything but eye contact. They eventually landed on Cooper. He envied his brother.
Lillian reached up and gently grasped his chin. She forced it down so he was looking at her though her eyes were closed.
He couldnât help but to feel like he was letting her down somehow, didnât someone like her deserve better? Why did she love him? He sighed and kissed her forehead. She could have anyone and chose him.
Lillian giggled and her eyes opened back up even though they were filled with sleep. She gave him a soft smile before curling up into him.
Darren smiled a little and closed his own eyes. He was tired, he was always tired.
(Sly didnât come back today⌠should we be worried?)
Lillian's eyes shut and she fell back asleep. Her breathing rhythmic for the moment.
(No. He posted on a general chat that he's coming back on the 25th. So it'll be a while.)
