Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Very funny," He muttered, not turning to look at Dom from where he sat with his forehead against the glass. Maybe it would be best if he got sick. Then he wouldn't have to worry about kissing Dom. He shuddered at the very idea of the germs of being sick. Getting sick would be the worst thing possible, or so his head kept telling him, how would he bleach himself?! He should have done something. Then Dom wouldn't have gone out and then he wouldn't have gotten sick and then Riley wouldn't be having to do this right now. The part of his brain that told him germs were the worst thing possible was telling him it was all Dom's fault. How dare he go out in the rain?! Hadn't he learned the basic 'you go out in the cold and you are going to GET a cold'? Riley groaned and chewed on his bottom lip. It wasn't Dom's fault. Dom didn't care about getting sick. Riley shouldn't care either. "I think," He declared finally,"I'm going to try for the opposite...of myself that is."

Riley tore himself away from the window at that look and went to the bed. Then before he could lose his nerve he leaned down and pressed his lips against Dom's, relaxing slightly when nothing happend. "See? I can handle it. You don't need to go."

Riley stiffened momentarily but then shook his head,"Doesn't matter. I'll live. If you get too bad I'll take you to the nurse myself but for now...." He sighed and kissed Dom's cheek. He just needed a little help and he was sure that he could move on past the bleach...couldn't he? If smokers could quit why not him?

"Thats just it," He muttered, avoiding Dom's stare,"I need to stop that. I don't want to have to kick you out every time you cough or bring dirt in the house. I'm tired of cleaning the kitchen when clearly it isn't going to get any cleaner. I'm tired of being unable to get in the shower because it hurts because I've spent the last three hours cleaning the shower. I'm sort of just tired in general. I'm pretty sure I'm fine with kissing you." He shook himself and slipped down from the bed. "Don't worry about it," He added and went top put the peanut butter away.

He smiled and returned the kiss, holding either side of Dom's face. Internally he was screaming at himself for even being near this sick person but he didn't let it show. Instead he just kissed Dom again and sat down at the edge of the bed.

"I love you too," he replied softly, playing with Dom's hair,"How are you feeling?"

"That's good," He replied, smiling,"I'm glad your feeling better." He hugged Dom back, shifting them so that Dom was leaning against Riley's side.
