Aaron snickers, “I know right?”

Aaron snickers, “I know right?”
She giggles again and nods at the image of the two meeting.
group
Aaron grins, “You think our parents would like us being together?”
“Well, I know my mother would be happy.” she nods. “But I don't know what your parents would think… Though I believe your friend Brisha wouldn't mind.”
group
He smiles. “They should definitely meet.”
“Alright.” she nods, still blushing at the idea. “I hope that we can stand the stories they'll tell about us.”
group
Aaron grins, “Probably not-“
“Yeah… That sounds about right.” she agrees, burying her face against his shoulder.
group
He hums, kissing the top of her head. “But either way…they’ll love talking about us…”
“Oh, definitely.” she smiles. “It would be nice for my mother to have a friend too.”
group
Aaron smiles and nods. “Yeah- brisha’s been pretty…well- depressed for a while now.”
Meg furrows her brow in confusion as she looks up at Aaron. “Why? What is he depressed about?”
group
Aaron sighs, “His wife died from the plague a few years ago…”
“Oh! I’m so sorry.” she apologizes sincerely.
group
He smiles softly. “It’s okay…I always try to be there for him, just like hes there for me.”
“Of course.” she nods, understanding his logic. “Am I right in thinking that Brisha and his wife never had a child before she died?”
group
Aaron nods. “Yeah…thats why he thinks of me as a son…even my own parents think of him as my father.”
“I see.” she nods. “I wasn't aware that you knew how he felt but he did mention that to me while you were resting.” she admits.
group
Aaron smiles, “Aw…well I know…and so do my parents…we all love him to bits…”
Meg smiles warmly and kisses his cheek. “Well, I think that’s wonderful.”
group
He leans into her, closing his eyes. “Mhmm…” He hums softly.
She sighs happily at the sound and lays beside him.
group
Aaron keeps humming a soft tune, slowly dozing off.
“Getting tired again?” she asks softly with a small smile.
group
He chuckles softly, nodding. “Mmph…”
She hums. “Do you want me to leave or should I stay until you fall asleep?”
group
He hums sleepily, “Whatever…you want…my love…” he murmurs.
Meg blushes at the epithet and kisses Aaron’s forehead. “I’ll stay then and come back tomorrow.” she promises.
group
He smiles softly, his eyes staying closed. “Mmm…” He yawns slightly, then soon falls asleep, looking peaceful.
She smiles as she watches him fall asleep. “I’ll see you tomorrow… love.” she whispers, kissing his cheek before carefully getting up from the bed and leaving.
