FLAWED CARING !

                      He can’t bring himself to stop the smile from growing into something bigger, a soft huff of laughter as he tilts his head and slowly shakes it. “Oh, I have absolutely NO doubt that you COULD and would do it. Unfortunately enough, I’m growing quiet fond of them myself.” A playful arch of his brows follows his words, a little game with no ill-thoughts involved. A rather tame version of teasing. He believes to know her well enough to know that she would make him eat. If not the potstickers, than the rice.    —— He remembers the first days back from Wakanda. How lost he’d felt… How empty everything had been and how suddenly, despite seeing in full colors, the world had looked black and white to him… Now? He could joke, smile, and laugh again. He owed Kara his life, he did. 

     “Are we going to watch another classic movie today or will we stick to chewing noises?”

                  “I was starting to think you were eating without me!” The smile on his lips grows, gaze wandering upon the offered food before looking up to meet the young woman’s gaze. He enjoys spending time with her; for as much as both of them know how to put on a optimistic and bright smile, they also know the price of it. — He feels understood whenever he is with her and more than that: He feels like there is no need to pretend. “I’m getting the feeling you and potstickers are a package deal. I don’t remember the last time we met without potstickers involved.”

SLEEP HAD BEEN ALLUDING BETTY. the day’s events were burned into her mind, the image of archie covered in his father’s blood flashing before her whenever she closed her eyes. dainty feet padded across the carpeted floor as she made her way to the window, noting the andrews house to be dark. yet she had a feeling, an inclination, her best friend might be somewhat restless too. ‘ are you up ? ’ her thumb lingered over the send button. hesitant to send least she wake him. but she couldn’t help but check on him, she needed to know he was okay. eventually she pressed send, a lingering sigh escaping her lips as she lay back.
