Better.

[captainkink]

Yeah, yeah.

[trickor]

[after a beat, quiet]

It is not in my nature to wait at bedsides. There are only two, after all, and the second son is not so welcomed as the first.

[captainkink]

I'm a second son. Like I give a damn.

No one is making you stay. ... Well, I am making you stay but I want you to stay. I want ... to be able to reach you.

[trickor]

You miss my point, Captain. Perhaps deliberately so.

[wry grin]

And I cannot do as you asked and rest while still remaining within reach. I'm afraid our beds are a little too far for that.

[captainkink]

You know what I mean.

Get some rest though. I'll wake you if I need help.

[trickor]

I'm fine. I think...I would prefer to stay. Here. If you do not mid.

[captainkink]

I don't.

[trickor]

[good. sitting down again, settling back into the place and position he had taken earlier]

[captainkink]

[smiles at him]

[trickor]

[scowls, looking away]

You look absolutely ridiculous like that.

[captainkink]

Is that code for "You're smoking hot, Captain, let's get it on?"

[trickor]

[...:X]

Quiet.

[captainkink]

It is!

[trickor]

Should you not be busy recuperating? Silently?

[captainkink]

I am totally recuperating.

[trickor]

You are not. You are being an insufferable idiot.

[captainkink]

I'm being insufferable?!

[trickor]

Yes.

[captainkink]

Because I care?

[trickor]

Because you--you...

[throws up his hands with an exasperated sound]

Yes.

[captainkink]

You do realize I'm not going to stop, right?

[trickor]

[closes his hands into fists, pressed tightly against his thighs]

No good ever comes to those who do.

[captainkink]

Bullshit. I managed just fine and I came back from the dead.

[trickor]

Must you?
