The Mentally Insane: Trouble or Not?

[puppyslave]

He smiled at her a little and nodded"I think I'm fine"He said, not as nervous as he would be normally.

 

[Malicious Lullaby]

"You sure? You seem a little tense." She said softly. "Don't stress about being less shy. Just let it come naturally. Don't think on it."

 

[puppyslave]

He looked at her, calming a little"Thanks"He said and grabbed a bottle of juice and a cookie.

 

[Malicious Lullaby]

Nodding, she let his hand go for a moment and grabbed her usual Granny Smith green apple and a bottle of orange juice and walked to an empty table with him and sat down. "So...just out of curiosity, why did you come looking for me? Because you genuinely cared or because we're partners?"

 

[puppyslave]

He went with her to the table and smiled at her"Well, I wouldn't have started caring as much if we hadn't become partners"He said and ate a little"I care about you now and that's why I checked on you"

 

[Malicious Lullaby]

She nodded and smiled gently. "Thanks." Having someone care, it was a real nice thing for her. It made her feel worth something.

 

[puppyslave]

Henry shrugged a little, liking the smile on her face"You actually look nice when you smile"He teased her

 

[Malicious Lullaby]

She couldn't stop smiling. She just looked down, unable to touch any of her food. Her stomach was swarming with butterflies.

 

[puppyslave]

He shifted and ate nervously, drinking when he finished"Well, seems like we have to go to the group meeting"he said, standing

 

[Malicious Lullaby]

She eventually took a bite of her apple, eating at least half of it and then drank all of her juice. Once they were done, she discarded the remains and went with him to group therapy.

 

[puppyslave]

Henry took her hand as they walked and sat with her near a door.

 

[Malicious Lullaby]

Dr. Waltham was late that day. A crisis at home so by the time he got to the room where his session would be, he was happy to see that all his patients turned up and were still there. "Sorry about that everyone. Got a little tied up." He said softly, sitting down.

Llew sat down next to Henry, making their hand holding very visible for everyone to see.

Just as Dr. Waltham put his glasses on, the first thing he noticed was Llew and Henry holding hands. "Oh? What is this? Henry and Llew holding hands?" He asked.

 

[puppyslave]

Henry blushed a little when he called them out"Mhm"He said, a little embarrassed but he felt fine about that

 

[Malicious Lullaby]

This was exactly the kind of embarrassing situation that would help to build his confidence and he seemed to be doing well.

"Is it just you two being partners or trying to be something more?" He asked curiously.

 

[puppyslave]

Henry thought about it and smiled"Well, do we have a reason to tell you, sir?"He asked, a little smart allecky

 

[Malicious Lullaby]

"Oooh Henry with a side of sauce. I like it. Keep her. She's bringing up your confidence." He chuckled.

Llew managed to blush and she looked away.

 

[puppyslave]

He smiled at that, a light blushing a little. He poked her lightly and waited for the group to start

 

[Malicious Lullaby]

She giggled a little bit when he poked her.

"So Llew does this mean you're a one man-woman?"

"I want to be. I'm going to try." She smiled.

He nodded and smiled, happy for them. "Now, lets begin this session, eh?"

 

[puppyslave]

Henry smiled at what she said and nodded"Sure Dr. Waltham"He said and waited for instructions.

 

[Malicious Lullaby]

Once the session was over, Llew walked out with him, hand in hand. "So um...Dr. Waltham made up an interesting point. We're holding hands."

 

[puppyslave]

He looked at her and then their hands"I guess we are"He said and smiled"Does that make us a couple?"

 

[Malicious Lullaby]

"If you're asking..." She smiled softly, looking down at their hands and then at him.

 

[puppyslave]

He leaned to her and kissed her cheek"I would like you to be my girlfriend"

 

[Malicious Lullaby]

Llew smiled softly. "I'd be honored."

 

[puppyslave]

He slowly leaned in and kissed her lips.
