"Then how would I be able to save people?" Kasey asked softly.

“Magic? I don’t know. Luckily, it won’t happen.” Liam replied, yawning.

"Do you need to sleep? I can go if you want," Kasey offered without lifting her head.

Liam shook his head, “No, no it’s fine. You don’t have to go.”

"M'kay… What should we do?" Kasey asked, snuggling closer to Liam.

"Wanna just watch a film or something?" Liam suggested, pulling Kasey closer carefully.

"That sounds good," Kasey agreed. "You have popcorn?"

"I should do," Liam gentle stood from the couch and handed Kasey the remote, "I don't care what you put on, horror would be my preference." He added, before walking to the kitchen to make the popcorn.

"Ugh, no thanks. I get enough horror to last a lifetime in some of my dreams," Kasey admitted with a shudder. "What about a comedy?"

"Have you ever watched Sleepless in Seattle?" Liam asked, putting the popcorn in the microwave.

"No, but I've heard of it. Is it good?" Kasey asked.

Liam smiled, "I'm not usually a fan of rom-coms but this one is great." He said, bringing the popcorn over.

"I'm willing to watch it if you are," Kasey said, grinning at Liam.

Liam grinned back, "Perfect, I think you'll like it… hopefully." He said, putting the film on.

"I'm sure I will," Kasey agreed softly, moving closer to Liam. "A rom-com with you? Plus popcorn? I think this is a pretty good way to celebrate your release."

Liam chuckled, "Yeah, it is a good way to celebrate." He said, placing an arm around Kasey.

Kasey smiled and relaxed into his side. She tossed a few pieces of popcorn into her mouth as the movie started.

(Skip?)

(I've never seen them…)

Liam had fallen asleep nearer the end of the film, his head resting gently on Kasey's. His breathing was slow and steady and he showed no sign of discomfort, either mentally or physically.

(Neither have I, but I'm reading the books for the first time basically.)

Kasey was content to stay as she was, cuddled up close to Liam as he slept. It was a nice change from the hospital bed.

The movie had finished a few minutes ago, but Kasey didn't want to wake Liam. He just seemed so peaceful in his sleep, even if she couldn't see his face. She gently lifted his head off of her own and moved him a bit so that she could sit more comfortably.

(Ah, I've never read them either)

Liam moved slightly more after Kasey did but didn't wake. He breathed in deeply and then let it out slowly. Even if the couch was slightly uncomfortable, it was much better the the hospital.

Kasey watched Liam for a moment, a small smile playing on her lips. She sighed and looked around wondering what she should do. Maybe she should just sleep? Yeah, sleep sounded good.

Moving to the other end of the couch, she curled up. She grabbed a pillow and laid her head on it, a few random thoughts floating through her mind before she fell asleep.

Liam woke up a few hours later. The sun had fainally gone down and he rubbed his face. Standing slowly as to not wake Kasey, he headed to the kitchen to grab a glass of water and some pain meds.

He quietly grabbed a glass and the meds and took the quickly. He sighed and lent on the countertop, regaining his balance.

Kasey stretched out and, not feeling Liam where he was supposed to be, opened her eyes a crack. When she didn't see him on the couch, she sat up and rubbed her eyes before making her way to the kitchen.

"Hey," she greeted him sleepily with a small smile.

"Hey, sleep well?" He replied, returning the smile she had given him, placing the glass in the sink to wash up later.

"Yeah, I did. What about you?" Kasey asked. Had he had any nightmares? She hoped they hadn't returned…

Liam shrugged, "Apart from my back hurting, I did, surprisingly." He hadn't had any dreams at all, which he guessed was a blessing.

Kasey smiled a bit wider. "Good, I'm glad."

She sighed and looked around the kitchen before asking, "What do you have for food?"

Liam shrugged, "It depends what's in the fridge," He walked to the fridge, "I can do french toast, toasted sandwiches, uh… what do you fancy?"

"Ooh, French toast sounds good," Kasey said, stepping farther into the kitchen.
