Fortune Favors The Brave

"Justin....." Kiara sighed.

"Sorry..." Justin mumbled, leaning his head against Kiara.

"S'okay sugar," said Kiara, carrying Justin back to the couch.

Justin smiled, blushing slightly as she carried him. "I'm probably a little lighter than I normally would be you know..." He mumbled, still not quite done sulking.

"I could still lift you," said Kiara.

"Maybe you should switch careers then..." Justin joked.

Kiara chuckled. "Nahhhh."

"Wouldn't recommend it anyway..." Justin said. "Girls there don't get treated the greatest anymore..." He mumbled.

Kiara nodded. "Girls don't get treated well anywhere."

"Hey..." Justin said. "Not anywhere at all...?"

"Not anywhere in the workplace," Kiara clarified

"That's better...Well it's not...b-but..." Justin said nervously, covering his face with his hands, embarrassed when the words didn't come out right.

Kiara smiled, taking Justin's hand. "Relax sugar."

Justin shook his head, still covering his face with his other hand.

"Sugar...." said Kiara.

Justin turned away from her, mumbling something.

Kiara sighed softly.

Justin moved his hand from his face, wrapping it around himself as he shivered.

Kiara wrapped the blanket back around Justin

Justin went to say 'thank you', but being as exhausted as he was from being sick, it ended up coming out in his native language.

Kiara smiled. "Rest."

"I'm not tired..." Justin mumbled.

"No, you're exhausted," said Kiara

"Am not..." Justin said, pouting.

"Yes you are," said Kiara.
