He gave her a grin. "If its bullshit, no one will notice if I'm gone."

"That's kind of the point, isn't it?" His smile turned into a small frown. "What, do you not want me to stay?"
group
She ran her fingers through her hair. "That's not what I'm trying to say! I do want you to stay. But with this ambassador job, you'll be gone while I'm stuck here alone with a bunch of idiots trying to kill each other by the hour."

"Well, I can, like, buy a house near here, so I'm close by when I'm not working."

Not what I meant. Tess got up, wincing with the movement. "I need to do something real quick."

He stood up too, grabbing her hand. "No, for real, Tess. What's wrong?"
group
She refused to look at him. "It's stupid and selfish. Just don't worry about it."

He didn't let go of her hand. "Please?"
group
A muscle in her jaw fluttered. "Do you know how much has been taken away from me throughout my life? So much that I've just grown to live with it. I find something–and it's taken away. But I…" She sighed. "I'm just being an idiot."

"But I'm doing this job to be with you," he said, confused.

"Like I said, I'm being an idiot." She went to pull away.

He pulled her to him, wrapping her up in a gentle hug. "I'm not gonna leave, you, Tess."
group
She pressed her face against his chest. "Do you really need a job to stay?" she whispered.

He tilted his head. "I don't wanna just pawn off of you."
group
"I have more money than I need, being a 'hero' and all. Or…"

He looked down at her. "You just don't wanna be lonely, do you?"
group
She fully flushed. "I–well–not–" she sighed. "No…" she muttered.

He kissed the top of her head. "If you really want me to, I guess I can just chill out here."
group
She sighed again. "But do you really want to? I'm being the stereotypical emotional woman, and it's not a good look for me."

"Would I like do work? Sure, I guess. But if it means more time with you, fuck it."
group
She tilted her head up to face him. "I don't deserve you."

"And why is that?"
group
She snorted. "Haven't I already expressed how undeserving I am of anything? Dirty street rat? Petty thief? Government wanted criminal? Mafia? Any of these ringing any bells?"
person_off

"I think it's fitting. A thief and her prince."
group
"Sure."

"I mean, if you don't like it, I can just go…" he began to pull away.
group
She tightened her grip on him, pulling him back and bringing her lips to his.

He smiled, leaning down a little to make it less awkward for the both of them.
