A/N: One more birthday drabble for
defyingnormalcy cause she loves Bill and Laura taking care of each other!! :)
Bill wet the cloth with warm water then put his hand under Laura’s chin tilting her face toward his. She was covered in flecks of blood from the battles of the day, but they had survived. Bill said a silent prayer for that simple fact.
Laura closed her eyes and sighed. It felt so nice when he took care of her. It was something she’d become fond of long ago. He’d done it from the start, giving her a book to read to make her stay more comfortable.
“You called me honey.” Bill smiled as he gently washed off each spot, “and in CIC.”
“I did not.” She protested.
“I’m sure that’s what I heard.” He continued to clean her face. “I remember you doing this for me.”
Laura thought back to the night after the dance. “You were a mess.” She looked up at him, love and tears shining in his eyes.
“I was,” he pulled her to him and held her tightly, “But you put me back together.”
She squeezed him back, “Just returning the favour.”
“Let’s just stay here. They won’t miss us.” Bill said wistfully.
Laura wished they could, but their journey had one more stop.
