They were so dysfunctional sometimes. Now was one of those times it showed the best. Even with all his worry and their latest 'almost argument' seeing her just made everything feel better. He guessed that's why they were together. She was the best part of his life. He'd just be lost without her. He'd known her since he was eight years old, and she always just sort of had this power to make him feel better no matter what was wrong. Make him smile no matter the issues.
He wrapped his arms around her gently and held her close for a few moments. All the stress seemed to fade away. Maybe things could be different here, he could stop being late for dates, and actually manage to have a social life. "You alright?" He looked down at her softly and smiled in the most affectionate way. A mirth touched his eyes.
