She dabs at her eyes with the edge of her hand and it was then I noticed...Vick was in her underwear.

"Oh! Waw!" I panic and scramble to look away.

I see her dress, the one she'd worn tonight, laying on the floor. So that was what I thought was a corpse.

Her lips quiver a bit at my reaction but remain somber.

"I just want to crawl to the center of the earth and decompose in the most painful way possible" she begins tugging her hair, "Everything is crashing down, nothing is going right, my life is in ruins-"

"Hey, hey, hey ssshh..." what Vick needed right now was a touchy feely boyfriend, and I was definitely not one. "Relax..."

I gather her close into my body and hug her tight. "Breathe..." I say next. I had no idea what I was doing, but I was following instinct, and what I'm doing right now...just felt right.

Her breath comes out in short puffs, like a baby trying to gulp air.

"Hold up, I'm over dressed" I get up and start taking off clothes.

I am next treated to the sight of Vick blushing and looking away, "I saw that" I told her. And have the pleasure of seeing her blush deepen.

Jesus, I'm in love with this woman.

Standing in my boxers I turn to her and spread out my hands, "Look! We match!"

She tosses a pillow at me.

I walk over to the bed, "Scoot over" I tell her and slide in under the covers.

"What are you doing?" she asked slowly.

"Getting comfy with my girl" I reply smoothly.

"Oh, I'm your girl now?" she says, matching my tone.

"When have you not been?"

She opens her mouths but comes up short on a reply.

"I love making you speechless," I say, "Every time you are, an angel gets its wings"

She bites my biceps.

"Ow! I know I'm delicious, but damn bae"

I feel her freeze. "Bae?" She smiles faintly and looks up at me with eyes just shinning with tears but held a tint of happiness. My whole brain turns to mush as all I could do was stare breathlessly at her.

"I like that" and she then rests her head on my chest.

I dig my nose into her hair, relishing the feeling of her, cherishing the softness of her skin.

"I never want to let you go" I unknowingly say out loud, now it was my turn to blush.

She digs herself closer into me like a cat and holds on tight onto my torso.

"Me too" she says back.

Vick's POV

I gently close my room door behind me and turn to Wade, "What?" I say as rudely as possible. I'd quickly thrown on whatever pajamas I had lying around and came out.

Johnny and I had been up for hours talking and connecting, and just when we'd passed out from exhaustion and sleep Wade began blasting my phone. Johnny was too far gone to even wake up so I answered to Wade calling me outside.

"C'mon doll face, you can't say you're not happy to see me" he says cockily, fully dressed in his Deadpool costume but with the head mask pulled up.
