Rin hauled a pillow up on top of her head and pushed it down against her ear to muffle out the noises Melvin was making at her. She hoped he would get it all out of his system soon enough.

The fact she didn't even want to hear him crying only made him feel worse. She didn't like hearing this, which meant he was only hurting her and being insensitive again.
With the other pillow still free, he took it and tried to muffle himself. Getting out of his system wasn't exactly working, and after a moment, he wiped his nose on his tissue and, still sniffling and eyes still wet, he asked. "I'm sorry. I'm not listening to you. What do you think about us? About the past? I want to know about you. About Rin." He said with a whispered focus on her name.

"I think you should leave the past where it ******** belongs so I can too," Rin snarled as she pressed the pillow tighter against her ear.

He moved the pillow to his chest, hugging it, as he looked with large, sad, blue eyes. "I'm sorry." He apologized again, before looking down at his pillow.
"I liked my past." He petted the pillow a moment. "I don't like the present."
Then he pressed his face into the pillow and mumbled something about the future.

Rin snatched the pillow from her ear and tucked it under her head, satisfied that it sounded like he was now done sobbing. "Then make the present better if you think it's so ******** horrible," she added, finally turning back to him. "The past doesn't even ******** exist anymore so what's the point?"

"I can't forget the past. That's forgetting my family. I can't forget about them. I'm hurt you would say that. Did you forget about your dad or mom? That wouldn't be very nice, Rin." He said, disappointed that she didn't keep to her memories.
"I am trying to make the present better, but I'm not very good at it and don't know where to go from here. I like to think I do, but I'm not good at talking or doing other things. I want to be better for everyone, and I work extra hard in the labs, and have been trying to work out or find new hobbies, but I find a few people ...." What was a nice way to phrase it? "...aren't really nice to me." That and they weren't very smart.

Rin sat up in bed and threw her legs over the side to better face him. She sighed dramatically before offering her open arm to him. "Come here you dumb a**."

Looking up from his pillow, he moved over and hugged Rin tightly, then cried a bit more into her soft chest. He continued to mutter sorries.

Rin gently stroked the back of Melvin's head as he sobbed messily into her bosom. The look on her face unreadable yet calm. She patiently waited for him to calm the ******** down.

It took a few minutes of crying, squeezing Rin's shirt, and tight hugging before his hiccuping sobs dwindled down to slow breathing. At long last, he pulled away, wiping his nose into a new tissue and looked up at her with sore eyes.
"Thank you." He used a clean tissue to try and pay dry her chest.

Melvin appeared to finally be sated, even taking a moment to sort out the mess he'd made of her chest. Rin sighed and hoped that was really all he needed. "Are you okay now?" She asked, a bit hopeful.

He finished patting her and just sat there, before giving a little nod.

Rin reached out to touch his cheek. "Good boy."
She heaved a heavy sigh while staring at him. Her expression may have still been calm but her thoughts were racing all over the place. She liked Melvin a lot but she really didn't know how to help him with any of that. At all. It was also clear he had no idea how to help her either.
She frowned deeply. "Do you like me?"

He looked up at her. Had their relationship really come to the point where neither one of them really knew? Wasn't sure? When he really looked at it, it felt as if it did. Despite being in bed together and basically living in the same room for a while now, he still felt as if they were sometimes just starting out. The thought depressed him enough that he could feel his eyes misting over again.
"Yes." His voice cracked.

"I like you too," Rin replied with certainty. She knew she at the very least liked him, but was not certain how he felt - well, ever.
"I like the way you can be a complete woman around bugs sometimes," she confessed. "It makes me feel strong, useful, and appreciated when I'm able to take care of it for you."
