The sun was setting, Flum and Milkit curled up in their bed together. Milkit had just about dozed off at this point.
“Hey, Milkit..”
“Yes.”
“You know..you don't have to keep those bandages on your face..especially when we’re home. I mean, Eterna’s been giving you the antidote, plus it’s not contagious like you had thought..there’s really no point in wearing it.”
“...I know..but-”
“Is it about that lady again,” Flum cut in, “the one that kept telling you you were ugly. Because she was lying through her teeth.”
“...”
Flum hugged Milkit closer, her face moving to the crook of Milkit’s neck.
“I’m sorry..I’m so sorry you had to go through all of that…But I swear to you, you are probably the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen.”
Milkit’s cheeks turned a light rosy color as she nuzzled closer to Flum, as if to hide it.
“I love you Milkit, so, so much..please don’t ever forget that."
“I won’t.”
A pause.
“Thank you..for saving me...” Milkit mumbled.
A soft smile spread across Flum’s face, a joyous glimmer in her eyes.
“Always.”
