Mal: alright
Ben: thank you
Mal: now can we just enjoy the rest of your birthday without fighting
*Ben silently takes her hand and leads her back into their room, he gets out his phone and puts on a slow song, he wraps his arms around her waist, she wraps her s around his neck and they just rock gently, they look each other straight in the eye for a few moments before Mal's rests her head against him*
Ben: I don't ever want to fight with you again
Mal: me neither
Ben: we will fight again, it's only natural, I just want you to remember, however bad the argument, whatever is said, I will always love you more than anything and there's nothing you could ever do or say to change that

Mal: as long as you don't cheat on me then I'll always forgive you
Ben:  who would I cheat on you with? I have no interest in any girl of other than you
Mal: then we're good
Ben: good
Mal: you don't cause all the fights, it's my walls that do
Ben: come again
Mal: the walls I built up over the years in the isle, they're coming down but it's slow, it's frustrating I know and I'm sorry
Ben: never be sorry for being who you are
Mal: I'll always be sorry for some parts of who I am
Ben: let's just enjoy the rest of our Tim here
