Healthily Unhealthy

I barely believe it myself. Aren’t we lucky? -smiles then a little cheekily because he doesn’t know what to say- I told you Ourson works wonders.

-nearly beams at him the kisses and hugs him- I’m so proud of you. -smiles- You’re absolutely welcome. Thank you for helping me wih the chores in the house.

-blinks quickly, and hugs him in return- And I am proud of you, Doctor Gabriel Joly. -softly- You are a miracle. -blushes and smiles- I enjoyed it, even before, well… before I even thought of this.

-blushes deeply and nudges vert's nose with his own, closing his eyes and biting his lower lip- Hush. We did have fun. We should do it again. The ... cleaning. Not the hospital, please.

-smiles softly, looking him in the eyes and putting his hands over vert's- I do. Very well, even.

Oh. -blushes- Well… I know one mustn’t wish for too much but… I would try… I would attempt to… to … stay with … all of you.

In one b-bedroom? Joly, that is… impractical, at best.

-shakes his head- Them in one, you in .. in the other

And you would… -shakes his head quickly- N-no, nevermind. That should not influence anything.

-looks at their hands- I just want us to be okay.

-takes his hands gently and smiles at him- Joly, l-listen to me. We will be okay. Monsieur Bossuet, and Mademoiselle Musichetta, and you, and I, we will all be okay. N-no matter what happens here at the house, or what happens with Monsieur, nevermind any of that. I l-love you, and they love you, and they love each other. That is all that m-matters.

-listens quietly then smiles a little- You think that?

I do, y-yes.

You said … you said that you love me, that they love me and that they love each other, right? Can you add what is missing?

Other than y-you loving us all? It… It is they and I l-loving each other.

-smiles, nods, shakes his head- No, yes, that's it. Thank you. I love you.

Probably, yeah. Do you think they’ll ever invent that?

-grins- Uh, yes. I’ve seen the future. I’ll invent it in thirty-two years.

Oh, how wonderful! Tell me, in the future, are the skirts of the girls going to become smaller and smaller too?

Oh. -blushes- Well... I know one mustn't wish for too much but... I would try... I would attempt to... to ... stay with ... all of you.

Not if you have nowhere to be.

-sighs- Joly, I understand that they are kind, and forgiving, and they do not judge me for… what I did. But ignoring the mistake of a stranger who happens to reside in the same house is c-completely different from l-loving a man, or even t-tolerating one with whom you share a lover.

-nods- You’re right, I suppose.

-nods once and keeps his eyes on his hands-

-puts his hand in vert’s again- It’s a big apartment. And your room would be seperated by the kitchen, hallway and living room.

Which one? The m-more expensive one? And… the others would b-be with you?

-nods- Of course. Musichetta isn't allowed by law to rent an apartment. And Bossuet, forgive me that I say so, but he has never managed to keep his rooms for various reasons. I could never live without him.

-solemnly packing in her room-

Are you leaving, mademoiselle?

-nods- Yes. Are you not?

I will stay here until the clearing.

You will leave though, yes? I don’t want to see anyone get hurt anymore.

-smiles- I fear not. Not until they make me.

But why? They could kill you

That would be a bother, wouldn’t it? -laughs-

Oh Joly. -frowns- I’m so afraid, how are you not?

I am. -smiles and sits on the bed- But sometimes you just have to run into the mouse trap to at least have a bite of the cheese.
