    Summary

    Kori never felt the cold the way Dick did, never felt the bite of winter that made his nose sting and cheeks pink. If anything, she was prone to overheating. Even in the dead of winter, she radiated warmth. Enough that he never needed to worry about rugging up before bed, or switching to a winter duvet. She never felt the pain of a slipped kitchen knife either, her own flesh much more durable than his.

    Her hands shoots out to grasp his wrist, shock written across her face to see blood drawn over something so small “You’re hurt.”

    “It’s fine,” He promises. He’s telling the truth, but she seems dubious anyway. He supposes he would be too, if he had grown up on a world where pain was never trivial, where blood spilling was an act of brutality instead of bad luck “I just need a bandage.”

    “I’ll get it.” She insists, squeezing his wrist and dragging him closer, pressing a kiss to the corner of his mouth. Her hair gets in the way, brushing across his cheek and nose, it smells of sweet fruits and the kiss is tacky from the lip-gloss she’s wearing, but he doesn’t wipe it off. “Stay.”
