( She Hates That He Worries Over Her Lol ) - Tumblr Posts
Sighing, she rolled her eyes, not at his reassurance but at herself. She replayed it over and over in her head, how had she missed it. How had she forgotten to sweep outside of the place before getting to the door? Maybe she was just tired. Her face leaned in towards his touch involuntarily as soon as she felt the fingertip on her skin.
"That's not fair." She muttered with a small pout. "I can't beat infinity." Everything began to feel better as his hands played through her hair, closing her eyes she smiled at the touch. "I've dealt with worse Wallaby, I'll be okay. I'm not dismissing you care about me I'm just," shrugging her shoulders. "I don't know, want to keep you from worrying about me. Okay. There's enough on your plate already. I hate that they even called you over this."
Letting out a happy sigh at the thought of being able to go home soon, her smile became wider. She couldn't wait to get home and review the file again with Mai, see if there was another lead to follow now that this one went to shit. That all came to a halt the moment Wally suggested he play nurse. "That sounds nice," she stood up and wrapped her arms around his neck to nuzzle her nose against his. "When you say snuggles, do you mean snuggles or do you mean, snuggles?"
Wally's hand went up to caress her cheek as he shook his head. "You're not stupid. Far from it." Knowing she'd take this on herself. It wouldn't be her if she didn't. "That's why they are called accidents. You can prepare for every possible scenario but even then things don't always go as planned. You can't beat yourself over it. I'm just glad you're okay all things considered." His thumb ran over her cheekbone and down her lip. Part of him was checking her out for his own piece of mind but doing so in a subtle manner.
It took a second for him to hold her hand after she reached for his and gave it a gentle squeeze. Feeling the warmth against the palm of his hand was another way that told him she was here and safe. "I love you plus one to infinity." His hands went to thread through her hair and gave her head a kiss. "Okay but you promise me something. When you inevitably play this back, promise me you will not think you're stupid. You're still the smartest one of the two of us." The conk to the head made him laugh and was sure it vibrated against her ear. "You're the one injured shouldn't I be the one comforting you?" One finger played with her hair and twirled it. Looking down at her beautiful eyes he nodded. "In the process of. A comfy bed and a snuggle ready dog are awaiting you. Possibly a snuggly cat too but can't confirm that." He added just to make her smile. "There is an upside to this. I get to play nurse. Beignets sounds so good right now but first you let me take you to bed so I can snuggle you for a bit. Deal?"
